"Newcomer - 2018. Winter"

Can it be that AK allowed Patriot, with 270 games, to participate in his third novice tournament? For Mori (who took 4th place 1.5 years ago) and Scotty, this is also their third tournament. What's the point of having requirements for participants if none of them are followed?

Why did the regulations change so drastically? What's the point of playing the group stage if 4 out of 6 (5) people advance to the playoffs? And in the playoffs, it's a single-elimination best-of-1 format? What is this nonsense???

Where is the standard bracket with best-of-3 in the upper bracket and best-of-1 in the lower bracket?

The most harmless mistake: Mercurial is listed in groups 3 and 4, while The_Sonic is in groups 1 and 2.

I implore the members of AK to sort out the organization of the regular tournament.
