The AoE3 Global Championship 2021
That's right ladies and gentlemen, the next AoE3 Major tournament has finally arrived. It's been over a year since the conclusion of the ESOC Winter Championship 2020, representing perhaps the longest span of time that eso-community.net has gone without hosting a major event. Well worth the wait, it is with great pleasure and pride today that I'm able to present the biggest of kahunas, the mother of mammoths, the one for all the chips, the AoE3 Global Championship 2021. In partnership with elitegamingchannel.com, the Global Championship is set to be an event that will trump even the New World Championship 2019 in terms of scale and be the biggest tournament the AoE3 scene has seen in over a decade.

The Pro Division - The Highest the Stakes Have Ever Been

It's ladder season baby. The Top 32 sign-ups per the 1v1 Supremacy Elo leaderboard as of May 7th will qualify for the Pro Division, which will hold the entirety of the event's prize money. Nothing but Elo points will matter from now until sign-ups closing next month, when the seeding will be taken from a screenshot of the leaderboard and all qualifying players divvied up into groups for the Pro Division Group Stage. Please Note: if you are in contention for the Pro Division, you must sign-up with your main account name and use it throughout the entirety of the ladder portion of the event!

The Amateur Division - A Place for Everyone

The Amateur Division will be a grand-scale single elimination bracket hosted concurrently to the Pro Division, with the finish date estimated to be some time after the Pro Division's conclusion. All players who did not qualify for the Pro Division will participate in the Amateur Division. While there is no prize pool, the Global Championship Amateur Division will be an excellent proving ground for any aspiring player to test their strength and demonstrate their mettle. Not without glory, the final stages of the Amateur Division will be livestreamed to a massive audience and the winner of the event will receive an exclusive forum badge.

Timeline

Friday, April 16th - Full information of the tournament rules and other goodies released
Sunday, April 18th - Sign-ups open
Friday, May 7th - Sign-ups close
Monday, May 10th - Event officially begins
Thanks everyone, and here's to a great event!

That parts a bit confusing tbh. Does it mean sam can't sit on top of ladder while playing on alternates?

Not your problem, let administration figure it out.

Great event, although seeding can let some dishonest behaviour happen. One can avoid peak hours and search 1v1 against one's same-level friend, or even his own smurf. I guess that can't be helped though, as all we have for reference is ranking.

Edit: Shouldn't really be a problem after RO16, which definitely matters much more than RO32.

RO16(from 32) then 48 players.. looks good
16 best players automatic in RO16
the other 16 slots dispute with 32 players

the 16 players losers wait for all other players from 49+ arrive.
