The webpage is released and players are invited to express their interest in joining the event! EGF members shall have received an email to distribute to their top players (5d+), with a form.
Players who do not intend to participate can fill the form as well to accelerate the selection process, thank you!
The planned timeline is:
- Up to May 13th: Regular update of the players list, interested players who are not in the list are kept as a waiting list and included whenever they become eligible
- May 13th-20th: Last call for interest to play. If there is an unsufficient number of potential players, the call opens to weaker players.
- May 20th-30th: Top ranked players who didn't answer are removed from the list
- June: The final list is published.
Depending how the selection is ongoing, this can be changed. Further updates will be published on this page.
