As a reminder this is the format for the remainder of the tournament:
The third and final round will be a 1 v 1 double knockout.
Players will be randomly assigned a first round opponent.
The seeding of the third round players was done as follows: Based on the list of third round qualifiers above I numbered everyone 1 to 6: jricart 1 paws1610 2 Colonel Krink 3 KingRat 4 Great-Ollie 5 patrickaa317 6
I then went to Random.org and generated random numbers from 1 to 6 and they came up in this order:
6,1,3,5,2,4 (duplicates were dropped from the series)
This resulted in the order that the players were inserted into the third round knockout schedule:
These players will play a best two out of three playing one game on each map. Players will start on the A side If a player is defeated they will drop to the B side. The A side and B side Champions will meet in the Final which will be a best two out of three playing one game on each map.
Good Luck!
