After two months of dueling, the finals have arrived!
From an initial pool of sixty fighters, we've determined the eight most competitive fighters in the tournament. They will fight in a single-elimination bracket for the top spot and a hefty prize pool. These fighters are:
VU
[VU]Fercho
[VU_R]Gohana
MK
MK.Kelvin
[MKs]Drake
ULK
TLK.UnbalancedTheory
DZ
[DZ]Noori
SS
[SS]ahMexican
DnA
[DnA]Jellyfish
The following information explains some changes to the tournament and its format that will occur for the finals. More elaborate information can be found in the VCDC Finals thread (http://vu.vrocker-hosting.co.uk/index.php?topic=6140.msg68657#msg68657).
Format Changes
Instead of fighting three sets of five matches for scoring, players will now fight until one person reaches nine points, similar to the LW Cup. Whoever reaches nine points wins the entire match.
Moreover, with summer winding down, there will be no hard deadlines for match completion. Soft deadlines may be suggested by staff members if a match is taking excessively long to complete, but the tournament will not end on any specific date anymore.
Prize Distribution
After deliberation within the admin team, the final prize pool distribution has been slightly modified:
- All eight fighters get $250,000 as a way to congratulate them for making it this far, and to serve as a consolation prize if anyone is eliminated at this point.
- The four semifinalists all get an additional $500,000.
- 50% of the remaining pool goes to first place, 30% for second, and 20% for third.
Therefore, the distribution of prizes is:
- $19,824,703 ($19,074,703 first place prize + $750,000)
- $12,194,822 ($11,444,822 second place prize + $750,000
- $8,379,881 ($7,629,881 third place prize + $750,000)
- $750,000
- $250,000
- $250,000
- $250,000
- $250,000
I'll try to make myself available for prize disbursement, but if I'm not around, other admins will be given access to the prize pool bot and more instructions will be posted at a later time.
Upcoming Renovations
The stadium will also be undergoing renovations soon with a new design with better seating which will also prevent instances of barrier hopping that had occurred in group stages. This design will be unveiled within the next couple of days as some details are completed.
