Please read below for two important tournament updates.

　　1) Due to the number of disqualifications during Elimination  1 round of Mission I, we have made an important change to the Tournament Rules for the rest of the tournament and for Mission II and Mission III. Teams will now be allowed to play their match as long as they have a minimum of three team members checked in to play. If either team chooses not to play a short-handed team or does not have the minimum 3 players they forfeit the match.

　　2) GameSpot has noticed an error in the Stride tournament format and will be making some changes. Originally, the top 16 teams from Elimination 1 would advance to Elimination 2.  However, there are 12 matches scheduled for Elimination 2 and 24 teams would be necessary. The Stride tournament format will change as follows:

　　- The winning 24 teams from Elimination 1 round will play in Elimination 2 round.

　　- The top 8 teams from Elimination 2 round will advance to Elimination 3 round.

　　Please note that not all winning teams from their match in Elimination 2 are guaranteed to move on to Elimination 3. The top 8 teams with the highest round win scores from their match in Elimination 2 will advance to Elimination 3. A default win will be counted as a round wins score of 10.

　　Thanks for your understanding in this matter.
