Please post below if you plan on participating. Anyone in the green and yellow can sign up, but must post if they wish to be included in the groups. Additionally to speed things up, please post if you plan on not participating.
(Keep in mind that this event will last for 2-3 months, but most players won't start for around 2 weeks.)
This year, deadlines will be taken more seriously. Extensions can be allowed, but unlimited time will not be given to play.

If this is a thing, I'd join trying to get opponents who can play in the GMT 1 - GMT 4 slot.
since it is probably not, I'll have to decline participating this year.
-
Sure, I'm in.
-
In, I guess. Though I might end up resigning due to lack of time.

Tiebreakers:

20 players, why we need prelims?
-
20 participants - bottom 8, split into 2 groups with top 2 in each group advancing
16 participants - 4 groups of 4, top 2 from each group advance to the knockout stage
-
Y no 4 groups of 5 :P

Solves the issue of 2-3 being so much worse than 3-2.

Could be as simple as making sense because you've already tied in POINTS, so likelihood of match record helping is minimal compared to games? >.>

Example.
Player A loses all of his matches 2-3 - matches: 0 wins, 3 losses; games: 6 won.
Player B wins a game 3-2, loses other two 0-3 - matches: 1 wins, 2 losses; games: 3 won.
I think Player B should get the better placement. If I understand correctly things don't work like that here. Maybe Elements WC is the only competition
in the world which gets the logic reversed.

WC groups go on games. It is much more fun.

It's good to be consistent. 8-)
-
OK I get it that it is sort of a custom here - as a sports fan I used to the rule when won matches decide,
and in my opinion that's the juster way. Everyone can have a bad day (or rng). However I don't
wish to challenge the rule since it seems most of the players like it that way.
-
Not exactly a new system here-- where do you think we got it from?

Yeah sure, but goal difference isn't the most important stat, wins/points matter.
-
But wins aren't the same as goals.
-
Obviously someone already dropped out. Anyone that qualified wanna replace Spielkind?
-
I could never replace spiel, but sure I'll have a go. May have to drop out for time constraints though.

Since you're a little late, you'll have to play with the same number of upgrades Spielkind would have played with.

Next groups posted. Please send your selections and bans as soon as you can.

Will there be a betting thread this time?

I wasn't gonna do it, because people drop out and it messes everything up.

Elements for all groups have now been posted.
-
sooooooooo.........

Don't worry, they are coming up this week.
-
36 minutes left from this week :D (UTC+1)
-
Perfect. Put Kaempf on the other side of the bracket as me. I want to crush him in the finals.
-
can we have group stage betting again please?
-
can we have group stage betting again please?
It's hard because people always quit.

It's fun to do in the first place anyway

If you have not sent in your element selections, please do so soon.

Posting here because I don't see a S&F.
Really think WC timing should be moved to start as War finishes. Community is shrinking and mostly made up of members who have moved on in life and have less overall time but still like to play. Having two of the major yearly events happening at the same time really ruined my enjoyment of WC this year (and the last 2 years too tbh). I get that it 'should' start in january, but I see no problem at all with it waiting a few months so that you don't have this horrid crunch of the two most enjoyable but prep-wanting events happening at once.

The Rules section is also the S&F section.
...OK tell the War people to not have their War whenever they feel like it?
They're just about to start Brawl? So when would WC be?

WC going over brawl is perfect (not for me, but for most of the community) it encourages the PVP people to stick around after War, and might just drag them into the next trials.
IMO the best time for WC is immediately after War ends, though i appreciate perfect timing is hard
-
War just needs to be at a different time than it is. That way WC can start in January.
-
yeah i feel like the scheduling conflict is more wars fault that WCs
+1 to overlap = bad tho
