Good Luck and have fun
Please ensure you accept games within 48hrs. Unless I hear from you I will use reserves in the Group stage. After this the player who is next in line will take your place i.e. 3rd place in Group stage or the person defeated in QF or SF. There are no forfeits. Any issues with group positions will be decided on a playoff random minor map
