compLexity Academy MLG Orlando Qualifier

BY Andrew Miesner / September 27, 2011

So far Lizzuma has won two straight MLG qualifiers and Gensulitor earned a trip with a second place finish. Now with new members joining the academy will someone be able to give Lizzuma a run for his money? Or will he remain king and represent the Academy at MLG Orlando?

This is compLexity Academy’s qualification tournament for MLG Orlando and is set to begin on September 28th at 7 pm EST. The winner from this tournament will receive an all expenses paid trip to go play to MLG Orlando. The format of this tournament is double elimination and best of 3 for each game. 

Seed Determination:
Seeding is determined by the points gained from the initiation tournament. Future tournaments for the Academy will use the same format, so accumulating points will be important for all players. The points are given out on an opposite placing x2 scale. So, if you get 1st place you would get 10×2 = 20 points and if you get 10th place you would get 1×2= 2 points.

For this event the #1,2, and 3 seeds will be Lizzuma, Gensulitor and Goswser respectively. All other seeds will be random and points for this class will begin after this event. 


Player list and Seedings:

1.   Lizzuma
2.   Gensulitor
3.   Goswser
4.   Brobocop
5.   
Proxima
6.   NoCreativity
7.   
Lagragian 
8.   Nineteen
9.   
Picnic
10. Fallen

Starting Map:
The starting map will be determined by veto’s. The lower seed veto’s first so the higher seed will get to choose between the last two maps. After the first map is played, all other maps will be playable for each game after and there will be ONE veto for each time a player loses a map. 
Example- Lizzuma wins map one and then he will get to ban 1 map and his opponent can pick from all other maps except the one played and the one veto’d. Lets say his opponent then wins, now his opponent will ban 1 map and then Lizzuma can pick from the rest except from the ones played and banned.
