[rygorych]

I'll play if the maps arent dumb 1v1/2v2 maps. '


1v1 on Rock Quarry please kthx.

[Pinballmap]

id like to play too but June the 9th is my birthday lol !

It will be bo3 to the finals, finals bo5.

I can increase the amount of players if there is an inordinate amount of interest.

I chose 9AM because there are more EU players than there are Pacific players.

I will decide on map pool closer to the date, but it will be from the standard 1v1 map pools.

and if you make it around noon-3pm est on a sat and a sun, that's only 6p-9p for most euros

If each round is a bo3 it will take a lot longer than 3 hours.  Assuming each round is approx 1 hour and that there will be 6 rounds that's a minimum of 6 hours till finals are over.  I'd rather start earlier so the EU people don't have to be on past midnight.
