Thank you everyone and enjoy!

wow this sounds great! Now i know what I will be doing every Sunday night

I'm so glad I don't have a significant social life. Going to be binging this shit all day. Maybe it will motivate me to not go out on Saturdays. It's so early on Sunday.

What are casting rules? There's only one ESOCTV and many simulataneous, high quality matches every round. If players consent can 3rd parties cast some on their personal channels?

Pre-selected matches would be casted.
Edit: As of now it is not allowed to cast other games on different channels for multiple reasons. Any change shall be informed!

Oh :/

In theory it would be alright for non-ESOC approved casters to stream matches so long as they had at least a 2 minute delay and got the approval from one of the tournament admins. However, it would be quite difficult for me to regulate multiple streams at once on top of performing all the other necessary administrative duties that come with running a tournament such as updating the brackets, checking the recorded games, helping players with tech support and making admin decisions as they come. So at least for this first tournament, we'll ask that nobody stream tournament matches besides players themselves, should they choose to do so at their own risk.

April's joke

@lordraphael too much effort for this to be an april fool’s joke ^^

- Games will be played primarily on ESO; games that need to be played on GameRanger must be authorized by a tournament administrator. In case of unforeseen circumstances, casted games may need to be played on GameRanger.

I would suggest hosting a game on ESO to let more people know about the tourney I've made at least two frequent (supremacy) players sign up, who didn't know of the tourney simply because they don't visit the website regularly.

Yeah we need more lieuts so that I don't get first rounded.
