    A picture is worth a thousand words. And only one of y'all included a link that had a picture of the in-game unit. #JustSayin

    Not so sure we can get a thousand words out of this one.

    Just for those who aren't aware:

    PA Ladder = ELO
    IRC Ladder = TrueSkill

    You really should include their PA Ladder position as well so we have something more directly comparable. Oh, also thanks :)

    I'm sorting out an odds table now.

    One minor point: MasterOfN0ne != MasterOfRoflness

    We'll see. I've got a first draft table drawn up already. Gonna run this past Uber first but I'd quite like to run a charity bookies tab off this tourney. (As in, if the bookie wins, any proceeds to a charity yet to be decided).

    Yeah also these are the 1V1 ratings. And you guys have been practicing together for a while and make a good team. So you might overwhelm Godde and Giggle. Going to be interesting matches for sure.

    To address the concerns over this being invitational: we'll open it up in the future. I don't want to commit on a 200-person, gigantic tournament right now because that overhead seems like oh dear god while we're trying to make and polish a game, but will future tournaments only be invitational? Nah, dawg.

    There's a couple of reasons we kept this one so intimate. Foremost, we wanted to create something that could be viewed in its entirety in an afternoon. I think we picked some (read: not all) of the most electrifying players in the game right now, so folks are going to get to see five-six hours of incredible, entertaining play.

    As I strongly suspected might be the case, not going to be able to run a charity tab on this. For what it's worth, here's the table I drew up for odds. Please note though that this is for informational purposes only, and neither Uber nor I condone it's use for any gambling activities on this tournament.
