Bracket Draft will happen today at 20GMTIs there a scheduled time for when the bracket draft will happen ?
CorrectDo I see correctly that the Ro16 is completely random and not specified as invited vs qualified?
From that same postHas MS added 15k more to the prize pool as per the rules and settings post?
Microsoft = $75,000
From Microsoft's contribution $60,000 will be used towards the prize pool and the remaining amount will cover costs & promotions for the event and ensure all parties involved in HC4 get paid for their work.
It does seem a little unsatisfying when this is the case. I think the tournament would really benefit from a group stage in the Ro16 personally."Seeding within the main event will be entirely random"
I'm enjoying the stream right now, chat is all over the place and crazy with 30k+ viewers. I think all 8 invited players are on the same side of the bracket and eliminating each other. What are the chances? won't you guys consider the invited vs qualified players in the first round for HC5? Identities still would be hidden (semi hidden (.
You gotta @ him!This is not a question but I want also to mention than I'm cheering for NICOV
Does it matter, you can always understand your opponent clicked up from score drop anyway, especially at this level.are players using the game version where it's super obvious when opponents click up to the next age (via the massive lag spike)?
You could say it removes a little bit of the skill since it does not punish players for not looking at the scoreboard and removes the ability to feign advancing ny queuing up equivalent resources.Does it matter, you can always understand your opponent clicked up from score drop anyway, especially at this level.
maybe these players have enough attention to stare at the score panel way more often (i don't know them so i can't really say which players do and which ones don't), but even then some intense games can siphon their attentionDoes it matter, you can always understand your opponent clicked up from score drop anyway, especially at this level.
You want to make the tournament twice as long to prevent players like Jordan making the final?Please consider a losers bracket for the next event. With HC as big as it is we want the best two players in the finals right?
Not every suggestion is invalidated by some actual tournament result... What is this basis of discussion. The idea to move past single elimination is a very legit to discuss and doesnt mean that people dont want that something happened to happen. Please dont frame anything as having to do with personal player preference. This makes post-tournament feedback just useless, since then we just argue about who likes or hates what player even without knowing who they might have actually rooted for.You want to make the tournament twice as long to prevent players like Jordan making the final?
It's not about liking or disliking certain players, it's about being cool with upsets.Not every suggestion is invalidated by some actual tournament result... What is this basis of discussion.
