Finally here are the long awaited infos on the tournament.

The official tournament start will be 17th of August. But we will release the bracket by coming Friday, so you can actually start playing a couple of days earlier if you want. The deadlines for winners bracket rounds are set for two weeks. That leaves the deadlines for losers bracket at one week per round. We think that this is more reasonable, since people have jobs and families to take care of and probably cannot play mid-week.

For the ping and server rules, please head over to the Rules section and read paragraph #7. Since this is NOT a Europe-centric tournament and since it spans three continents, players should expect to play on higher pings than usually. We will split the bracket into sections for BR, US and EU as good as we can though. This means that winners bracket matches will be mostly local until later rounds. The losers bracket will be mixed though.
