what happens if I hit 165+ 1v1 DM before the signups are closed ?

 

[True]

If you have 1650- at time of sign up, you're fine.

[True]

Sorry for not listing this, but yes the home-map pool is the maps in The Uprising!

[pumukel]

How many players will go through from each group?

Top 2 or only top 1??

Top 2 players of each group will advance to the Single Elimination bracket!

The single elimination bracket will consist of 20 players, which will include several "byes" in a round analogous to a qualification round prior to round of 16. The players who signed up to the tournament first will be given priority on receiving a bye.
