Very late update, but in case you haven't checked the Discord announcement, the tournament's start time has been changed to 6:00 PM EDT. Do plan accordingly!

For those potentially interested in watching or joining the tournament, here is a practice session stream of the maps to be played

 

The servers hosted by TSPG will only have a "join password" instead of a connect password - so spectators can connect to the server and easily watch the games in progress without needing the password to actually join the game.

 

That being said, the tournament starts in just under 5 hours from now, I encourage new players to come and try their hand at this.

Thanks for playing, everyone! Some organizational things went laughably bad, but it gave us valuable feedback and motivation to make everything smoother next time. Also more enjoyable for people who are seemingly doomed to quit instantly against a much stronger opponent. Keep faith, I lost 20-1 to Ivan too!
