This is great, can't wait to see the list of players.
To all the people worried about Bo5 in group stages - It is only 32 players, I am sure they can have computers for all the players and then there is the whole day to play each group stage, more than enough time.
And this way we won't see the same complaints from DreamHack with the unforgiving format, so this is good overall IMO. |

| And, we gotta keep in mind that it's gonna be gsl style group stages, so only 4 bo5:s per group, instead of the normal 6 in a 4 man group. |

That's true for the first group stage. The second one has half the games. Still, DH Summer had 2/3 x 6 x 16 = 192/288 games in the first group stage. 
Also, what I think really matters is the match count, not the potential map count. At ASUS ROG a single player has 2-3 matches per group stage and 1-3 matches in the playoffs -- a total of 2-9 matches in the entire tournament. That does not seem overwhelming to me considering it's divided evenly across three days. |

Actually, it's five matches in a four player double elimination group. See the last season GSL results for example.Last edit: 2012-06-21 19:46:18 |

Great great announcement and I am really happy that Asus Rog takes player feedback seriously and tries something new!
It's weird but the format raises my excitement about this tournament quite a bit, really looking forward to it |

You're exactly right. 5 it is of course. Anyways, I really think it's nice to have bo5s. Probably gonna have a lot more different strategies used. You know, you can take much more coinflips in a bo5. Interesting to see how it will end up being. |

ASUS ROG always has the best prize pool distribution!
O.o How many games are going to be played? It sounds... exorbitant. Hopefully the casters can keep up! |

Format is exactly like GSL, but Bo5 groups.
I prefer round robin, but I guess its nice to see this format outside of GSL for once. |

Assembly is held in Helsinki, which is the capital of Finland and on top of that the venue is located fairly close to the city center so it is easy to reach by public transportation. Can't really guess how much it would cost to book a hotel for the weekend, but it should not be too much if you pick the right hotel. For example, I think that www.omenahotels.com is a good place to start looking for rooms.
The event pass costs ~40 euros, which covers the whole weekend. You should note though that since this tournament is held within Assembly Summer, there should be enough bang for your buck aside from just the tournament. In fact, I personally always look forward to all the demo scene competitions and other various activities that take place during the weekend. The event also has separate sleeping areas if you wish to sleep at the venue. However, you would need to bring your own sleeping bags (and any other desired sleeping gear) and preferably earplugs for the noise.
If you have any questions about the event or otherwise, feel free to PM me. Last edit: 2012-06-21 22:53:21 |
