i'm curious about the tournament system. are you doing swiss elimination for the group stage followed by double elimination for the ko stage? imo the more duels the better.

Please note: This Tournament will be a group stage followed by a last 16 Double Elimination stage.

so top 5 from each group advance, (+16th overall).

and then double elimination last 16 (see wiki)

there are different types of group stages. so it's gonna be like the old one we did in tours 1-5 just with double elimination after the group stage instead of single elimination we did before? like this:



since you can make the groups fair that's the best system imo.

yes, same group systems as usual tours. in relation to the quote above, re: groups can be unfair, I have purposely gone for 3 groups of 10 in order to offset the class advantage that would have a larger impact in smaller groups. the numbers in each group should mean that while certain builds have a class advantage vs certain builds, the reverse can also be said. i have been careful to spread the builds between the groups as there is a wide selection of builds in this tour.

if in some future tour there are too many of one build, ill modify the groups accordingly to reduce their numbers in a ko phase. ( what i did with sorc's in previous tours )

I think for all future tournaments after this one, i will seed the top 10 players between all groups. i'll base this seeding on all players who have either won a tournament or how they have placed in all exisitng tournaments with the same character.

holy shit, a libby replaces a psn java. thats a strong switch xD

indeed it is! x]

.care lol! get good!

ok, i can see your point. i might modify the groups slightly, put the libby in group 3, tfer a ama from group 1 to group 2, and maybe another small adjustment.

dont expect big changes in the groups though!

well tbh I dont care. Strong group will be rly nice for practise and learn ways to beat the strongest chars so its ok imo.

nice i lose a ama but gain a libby should be fair. right?

yes, you are the expert.
