All the action was done. It was done, and we looked at all the teams going on to the second round, and we weren’t satisfied. The wildcard formula was good, but still not good enough. We felt some teams were still going home too early.

And since we figured that nobody would mind the extra action, we’re expanding the double elimination bracket to sixteen teams.

The original plan called for the top team from each group and five wildcards. We’re now taking the top two from every group and two more wildcards, for a total of sixteen teams. We accounted for the “bye” matches in the same way, we just added more teams. It’s going to be another day full of action, and there’s a good chance your favorite team is going to be a part of it.

The maplist can be found on the bracket, but I’ll post it here as well:

For the matchups, head to the bracket, and if you want to see rosters, I should have all these teams up on the roster page.

As a last note, I want to thank everybody here for helping the tournament run smoothly so far, but particularly Lake, Parkhill, Shawn, and Gancorz. Without them I wouldn’t have been able to do any coverage, not only because the tournament would have fallen apart, but because I would have had no idea what was going on. Many thanks to them, and good luck to everybody in the double elimination bracket!
