Please note: The veto rule is in effect during the Round of 64. You may issue your map veto any time before playing your series! However, if a player forgets to issue his veto before a series begins, he will lose his privilege to veto and the last map in the pool will automatically be removed.

The thunderdome, yeaaahhhh! What up @mongo10, any chance you can play today?

Hey sry for late answer. Sorry couldn't play today and yesterday, what about Thursday, Friday evening @sheckler?

I veto. New England

Hi @mongo10 I could possibly do Thursday evening. What is evening to you? What time zone are you in? I'm in the PST right now - GMT -7.

I veto Deccan.

How about 21:00 GMT on Thursday?

Oh well, evening is like morning for u. Well I can do today till like 21gmt, but would like to start the series at latest like 20gmt,which is 1p.m. ur time. @sheckler.

I'm +2 GMT, so there is a 9 hour difference

Whoa, I'm traveling right now and I just tested unit control on my travel laptop, it's horrific. I wouldn't even be competitive. Let me see if I can find alternate arrangements.

hmm, ye it's up to you, im quite flexible on the weekend

@sheckler what's the status report chief?

The status is depressing @Cometk I don't think I'll be home till the middle of next week so I won't be able to battle this one. It really hurts my soul to say it. Is today the hard cutoff?

@sheckler It's not a super hard cutoff, but ideally if we were to give an extension the match could be finished by Wednesday.

Understood, @mongo10 what is your schedule like this coming wednesday?

@sheckler Hey sheck, I've actually given the admin win to mongo10 in this case. You're still in the tournament, just in the Lower Bracket now.

I completely understand @Cometk Have to keep the tournament moving. Good luck @mongo10
