Master of Socotra 2

After the super fun first edition that took place last year (A bit more for the viewers and casters then for the players), I'm glad to announce the second edition of Master of Socotra.

The prize pool for the tournament is $3333 sponsored entirely by my lovely clown viewers.

Despite all the salt pain and tears from the participants in the previous event 7 out of the 8 quarterfinalists accepted the invitation and will go straight to the ro16 of the main event.
The list includes the winner of Master of Socotra 1: TheViper along with: BacT, ACCM, Tatoh, Vivi, Slam and Vinchester.

One more player with the highest average of current elo/past elo will join them as an invited player.

The other 64 players with the highest average of current elo/past elo will compete in the qualifiers with the top 8 joining the main event

Registrations are open till Friday February 11th 22:00 GMT.

Furthermore, please only apply, if you are available to play during all the dates mentioned in the times frames part of rules and settings

Hera the only player not to accept?

 

halp

 

As much as I loved all the MoA events, I cant believe I can another tournament even more 11, lets go!

 

Good news for the game, not so good news for other tournaments...

We who tried to propose a tournament in order to put forward semi-professional players, we are going to find ourselves having to face a final of another tournament on identical dates with star players...

Too bad, but we hope that your project will be a success.

 

Can I go Persians every game?

 

Hera the only player not to accept?

Yes

 

Clown alert

Maybe a direct and private message would have been better. Keeps it professional. Good thing JonSlow is already looking to change the dates.

Why?
I am not blaming anyone, I am just pointing out a fact. I'm a transparent and honest person, I don't think it's wrong to expose an opinion about the situation in a public way. Especially since I didn't disrespect anyone.

Also John came to me privately to talk about it without telling me that he found it inappropriate. (In which case I would have apologized of course).

So even if for some it is a religion, it is useless to provoke any drama when there is nothing to find.

Thanks John for the arrangement anyway. It's very cool !

Let's not create drama where there's none. Both TO are in good terms and trying to find a solution to the schedule overlapping. Which is good, because both tournaments are gonna be a blast

Congrats Jon! Looking forward to it.

And for the noobs crying on the video about how difficult Socotra is:

No map gives you bad memories, if you lose in all the maps 1111

why you then say things like that though ? Intead of stating actual fact in normal way about your tournament final bieng on same day and perhaps suggesting changing dates you went for "We who tried to propose " "pro vs semipro" "too bad" "not so good news" and other wordings that's completely unnessary and judging for hosting tournament in day you don't like. Sounds a bit like Memb after he is not involved with X

Haters will always hate.

They find already a solution but unhappy people want to create more drama. Gj.

 

Let's not sour the announcement thread to the sequel of the greatest viewer experience from last year.

 

Was hoping for a more controversial video

 

The duration of the tournament was extended by 2 weeks with finals taking place on match 26th-27th to not collide with World Rumble finals

 

Was hoping for a more controversial video

I wasn't hired for the trailer, time to smurf and snipe JonSnow for the next 3 months.
