That is a fair point

We will take that into consideration. That was something I overlooked.

The whole goal was to shorten it to a two day qualifier without removing the advantages to having it span 3 days.

We drew it up with the most ideal circumstances where we keep everything as smooth as possible, and we don’t allow for the random half hour tech pauses.

I think removing a close qualifier is a bad idea, it inhibits the quality of the quality of the event which we don’t want to do.

If you have formats in mind then I’m all ears I want to hear what everyone WOULD want to see in an event and what their ideal event would be, when we inevitably look to restart TPL 9 again.

[Stan @StanObserves]

Hey Rno, so the 6 bo1s on Saturday while it seems a lot, most teams have to play 2 bo3s in a standard closed qualifier to qualify for the event. To put it into perspective, 6 bo1s is the equivalent to 2 bo3s in one day.

Swiss has been a standard qualifier format. It’s you either play 4 bo1s Friday Saturday, or play 2 extra games on one Saturday night and get it over with.

There are other qualifier formats out there yes, but this has been a standard format that has been ran. So we figured let’s makes this qualifier 2 days so you can go out drinking with your guys. You gain and extra day of free time, and you play 2 extra hours of siege.

If you have a genuine format for a qualifier that would eliminate bracket blessings, and weeding out teams, I am all ears. Removing bo3s in qualifiers will never happen, at least in closed qualifiers or at the tail end of a double elimination bracket.

I don’t really understand what the issue is with the current format, I do understand it is a lot of siege in one day, and people do have jobs! But I am all ears to suggestions.

Hello!!
We are still EXTREMELY low on qualifier signups and wanted to answer some common questions we've gotten!

Qualifiers ONLY take place on Saturday & Sunday. The 4pm start time is only because we have eliminated the Friday games in favor of compressing the schedule into 2 days.

Signups for the lone qualifier are $55. 5 Teams will qualify for the main event, joining our 7 invited teams.

Invited teams were hand-selected & had to pay for their spot! They dont get to play for free and we invite them in order to ensure the quality of competition in our event is as high as we can make it.

As of this moment, We still have 5 invited teams to announce. Those teams will be announced this week and we hope to see the amount of signups take a turn for the better!

[XGS @XenonGamingGG]

Signup!!! While we appreciate the support we have gotten for the new XGS format, the scene also thrives when events with qualifiers drives teams to practice and grow together in order to make an event and be seen by top tiered teams and eyes

TPL and XGS are very tightly knit and we thrive off seeing teams compete in as many events as possible. Hope to see you all this weekend!!!

[Stan @StanObserves]

@dynamiteR6S @PK_R6S @TPL_Events Invited teams pay over double for a team would pay for a single qualifier for an invite spot in the event.

[TPL @TPL_Events]

Hello Everyone!

As I'm sure some of you have noticed, we are well below projected signups which is resulting in us cancelling the first weekend of qualifiers.

The current plan is to run one qualifier on October 17/18. If we meet the numbers needed to fund the event, we will run as planned. If we do not reach the amount needed, TPL 9 Will be postponed indefinitely (Expect Q1 2027)

This being said, Its obvious that in our absence, TPL has fallen out of the public eye. We ask that you in the community, as competitors and contributors to this project, help in any way you're willing. Whether its a retweet or word of mouth, any assistance in allowing this project to go forward would be greatly appreciated and we are excited to showcase what we have to offer.

Just want to put my thoughts out there:

When I was in t4/t3 I would play the qual, not make the tournament, then watch every game wishing I could compete in these tournaments. Now the leagues like this & crucible can’t even get sign ups lol.

What happened to the amateur scene?

[Stan @StanObserves]

This view only works when the event has outside funding.

TPL is a community operated event. I have been running TPL for around 6 years now. Qualifiers have their place.

It costs roughly around 10 dollars a person to play, and you are going to get at least 6 hours of game day reps.

Teams don’t want to play qualifiers to be told they need to pay 300 dollars to continue in the event. Qualifiers crowd fund, give lower end teams places to play, and keeps the entry affordable for everyone.

[NXG Grim @ImGrimothy]

I just love how NA R6 players complained about not having any leagues to play and then when qualifiers are announced for said bigger leagues no one signs up. If you are going to complain but not sign up for it then you are wasting your time

[Stan @StanObserves]

@ItsRxpid @Tableddd @Nugs4k @TheWookawoo @TPL_Events @DivineCorpesp Yeah but it shouldn’t be

It allows for extreme favoritism. All the admin decisions against the team will usually be null and void because of it.

It should never be the standard

[Stan @StanObserves]

@ItsRxpid @Tableddd @Nugs4k @TheWookawoo @TPL_Events @DivineCorpesp Having your own team in your own event is very good for competitve integrity 🔥🔥

[XGS @XenonGamingGG]

After a thorough investigation, the team at XGS has enough evidence to support the fact that player mousetrapjon has been utilizing a DMA device in XGS qualifiers. Due to this, him and his team (Console Rankers) will receive a permanent ban from Xenon Gaming Series, TPL and The Crucible going forward. In the investigation, the team was able to identify a PCI-E Device directly linked to DMA devices and no other use cases.
