Proving Grounds October Tournament
Posted: Mon 13 Aug, 2018 3:15 pm
----Elite mod Proving Grounds beginner tournament (Vol. IV)----
With Elite league in full swing and several of our top players engaged in glorious combat, it’s only fitting that we also bring the fight to the newer arrivals in Elite mod. Gird yourselves for battle; the time has come for the fourth instalment of the Proving Grounds beginner tournament!
Experience has taught us that we’ve hit a sweet spot with a 400 hours played limit for contestants. To remain fair and inclusive enough players below 800 hours that think themselves suited to the level of play can always PM and we'll have a look in-game. The format of the contest will be Bo3 with a Bo5 finals and a loser's bracket finals for third place. Although there are no limitations on how often you can play a commander in a single set, each player has a single commander veto for one round.
In case of a large player pool with a wider range of interested skill levels, there might be a more extensive bracket system with separate brackets for ‘true’ beginners and a bracket for more mid-tier players.
When will it take place?
We’re aiming for the weekend of October 13th.
The tournament will start at 19:00 CEST, also depending on the amount of players.
Sign me up!
That's the spirit. If you're interested there's a few things you should do.
-Post your steam name in this post, along with three commanders you want to play in the tournament.
-Add An'grathul on steam to give me a head's up.
-Preferably, join us on the Discord https://discord.gg/2YZxrDJ so you can join the many practice sessions we host.
EXAMPLE:
Player: An'grathul
Heroes: Warlock, Farseer, Sorceror
Much like last time I hope to see many beginners called to battle! Along with the Proving grounds Discord I'll also host unofficial prelims to get some matches in and test the waters. If any casters are interested, your patronage would be appreciated.
