Questions & Answers​

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the event, please don't hesitate to reach out here. We'll do our best to get back to you as soon as possible.

Can you explain the draft, how many civs are drafted?

There are different drafts for different rounds. All the drafts are available in the handbook. You can draft against a friend or against yourself by opening two tabs.
Hopefully, that will give you a better idea of how it works. All civilisations are drafted for the enemy to use.

Assuming the new DLC will be out by then, will this be played with the new civs?

Does check in system is really needed? 9:30-11:30 UTC check in time could be hard for different timezones especially Americas, seems a bit unfair for lads and they have to play through entire night.

Extreme cases can set an alarm and snooze until the event begins. Check-in is, unfortunately, quite essential to ensure proper attendance. There was one event where something failed and check-in was skipped, and the number of no-shows was through the roof, which could lead to some people not getting to play, because an inactive player would take their spot.

In the handbook it says the following:

Game 2 The loser of the previous game’s choice.
Game 3 The loser of the previous game’s choice.

Does this mean that a player can pick the map that their opponent picked in the map draft or do they have to stick to their own selected maps?

Also wanna say I'm glad that the ATP rankings are being used for seeding, but there is a chance there will be some tie (for example slam and miguel are tied for 19th place atm), what will happen in that case?

I'm also not sure which seeds will be in which group. In most cases seeds 1, 8, 9 and 16 are in the same group, but in some cases it's changed a bit so that the quarterfinals can be seed 1 vs seed 8.

Also found a typo in the handbook and the Qualification Seeding Spreadsheet: ninenty-six

Great questions and I will quickly converse with JorDan to make sure that we're on the same page about everything before I start radiating false information. However, the following questions are straightforward.

Does this mean that a player can pick the map that their opponent picked in the map draft or do they have to stick to their own selected maps?

They can only pick their own selected home maps - this may need to be clarified, thank you.

You must phrase it as a question! Thanks, though!

Apologies, Masmora, this question went completely over my head. I cannot entirely answer the question, however. It depends on a few things, and we will assess the situation quickly and provide an official statement about it, if it becomes relevant.

Also wanna say I'm glad that the ATP rankings are being used for seeding, but there is a chance there will be some tie (for example slam and miguel are tied for 19th place atm), what will happen in that case?

Sorry for the delayed response. We have decided on merely using the second, already used, seeding method in the event, the one versus one rating.

I'm also not sure which seeds will be in which group. In most cases seeds 1, 8, 9 and 16 are in the same group, but in some cases it's changed a bit so that the quarterfinals can be seed 1 vs seed 8.

Regarding the group stage, players are placed into the groups in the usual fashion, but positioned in the quarterfinals in a way to avoid repeat matchups.

What is the schedule for next weekend supposed to look like? It seems there are 6 Bo5 series, which seems too much for one day. Is the plan that they'll be casted simultaneously?
