While there was a good turnout for MRT 15, organizationally it was a mess. We're going back to the roots of an MRT; a good ol' fashioned 1v1 tournament to the death!
We'll be updating the rules to be tighter and cleaner and we'll keep you posted on any major changes. HOWEVER, for this tournament we're making a special rule:
Instead of picking your own hero to play in a match, you'll be selecting your opponent's instead.
We think this will mix up the meta of the matchups we see in the MRT as well as providing a little bit of spice to a tried and true formula.
General Info:
The complete set of information including Brackets and Participants are listed in the Monthly Rumble Tournament 16 page.
Date:Monthly Rumble Tournament #16 will be held on Saturday, July 25th.
Time: 18:00 UTC+1
The tournament will be played in the 1v1 format.
The tournament will be welcome to All Skill Levels.
The tournament will be played on the 2.4.2 patch.
Rules:
It's going to be a single elimination tournament and we'll play as many signups as possible.
Refer to the general rules thread for an overview.
There is a modification to the "hero picks" section of the rules. It is bolded below.
Map Picks
Maps are always selected before hero picks.
The first match of a round will always be a fixed map as shown in the brackets. After this, the map pick will be the loser's choice. Only maps in the map pool may be played to be considered a valid tournament match.
No map can be played more than once within a round. Each player will have the option to veto a single map during a round, excluding the first match map. Maps that are variants of other maps, such as Pale Tooth Gorge and Green Tooth Gorge, will count as one map and can't be selected in the same round.
Hero Picks
You MUST select 3 heroes or Random before entering the tournament.
The player on the top side of the bracket cell will lock in their opponent's hero first for the first match. Next game, the player on the bottom side of the bracket cell will lock in their opponent's hero first, and the order will alternate like this until the final game. In the final game of the round, the loser of the previous match will pick the map and then their opponent's hero first.
To check out who is on the top and bottom of your bracket cell, just look at the Brackets page. If your name is in the blue bar, you're the top of the bracket. If it's in the red bar, you're the bottom of the bracket.
