Note to anyone who is planning on signing up, we are going to move $100 of the prize pool to our partner league PATL. This is just to ensure that we can meet the sponsorship requirements that were discussed and agreed upon.
That would leave GC4 with $400 in prize pool... Updated in the OP.
This was already discussed with the Sponsor, it's important that we meet all of the requests that the sponsor put out in order to allow further collaboration past the end of the league.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate, I may not be able to give full answers for confidentiality purposes. Specific details of the sponsorship agreement will not be posted on here due to previously stated confidentiality.
If any team is interested in a free agent to fill up their roster or act as stand in, I'd be willing to play!
Hard to tell what type of form i'm currently in, holding my own at 2200-2300 MMR at the moment, been around A- ICCup during 2007-2009, got B+ rank in 2016, but I get roflstomped by the very best foreigners like eon, trutactz, dewalt etc. and I'm working full-time so my progress curve is slow. But my competitive side is itching and playing Team tournaments is always fun, I really loved BWCL and WGTCL back in the day.
We're signing up as Team Ripping). Because the tag is cool, and also we wanted a logo with a panther. Also we have matching animal nicknames, for added hype and because animals have claws that rip through shit (We're genius).

Would the league work with 8 teams? I think the European BW community might fall a bit short of 12
I've found an alternate solution for the team count problem, We can probably run with 6... It's a bit disappointing that we don't even have 8 teams though.

PATL & GC4 are working together, so the team count isn't an issue.
We're going to have the first round of games on Friday the 13th, schedule and full format to be released this Friday. Any last minute sign ups must come in before then.

(3)Légionnaire and (4)Magrathea have both been updated with 100% playable updates (meaning all bugs have been fixed and all further updates are going to be purely aesthetical, unless further changes are demanded) and observer versions. So make sure you grab the newest downloads from BWMN.
Looks good, 6 teams is not bad. Eywa- can you update the initial post in the thread like the starting time, match ups, current rosters, signed up teams etc. It will be easier for us to follow through and it will help team leaders along with the players to organise better. Looking forward to this!
PS I compiled the map pool in a zipped file which is available for download here(i downloaded the 'Melee' versions) - Gambit Cup 4 Map Pool
Please add ZZZero and Cheetech to team NW, they were missed but they always were a part of a team..
And please reconsider maps.. I understand adding 1-2 new maps but making everything new will make players uncomfortable. It was the case with some of the past leagues and people hated it.
Just to clarify, I am open to modifying the map pool for the first week, the new maps aren't going anywhere.
I need feedback from all of the team leaders though. This was requested weeks ago, it was requested in direct messages, on the TL thread and in the GC discord. If I don't get your feedback, there is no complaint to be made once the league starts.

Also, I'd like to update team NW rooster (hopefully it's the last update): Bonyth Tarson Draco Redeyes Zero Yeti Mazur Cheetech Koget Sawyer Predator
Also, Trutacz and Johnek still haven't left NW team, so I'm not sure if they meant leaving NW or not.
Nb Team needs players! If you're good and you're looking to play on a team for Gambit's Cup, please join the Discord and message @Nb Team, show them some love, keep the legend alive!
