After a great deal of work behind the scenes, I can finally announce the 2020 Bill Gregg Open Tournament, courtesy of a generous donor, Gregg! The tournament will run on Discord and be played on Voobly, so all players who wish to participate MUST sign up at the Discord server. Rules, signups, map information, and questions will be there. Below is the link to the channel:

https://discord.gg/gj4X3m7

SIGNUPS END AT THE END OF THE DAY SATURDAY JANUARY 4th.
TOURNAMENT BEGINS SUNDAY JANUARY 5th.
Expect each round to last one week.

Tournament Overview:

The Bill Gregg Open Tournament is a 1x1 tournament for Age of Mythology: The Titans, played on Voobly.com. All players are welcome to join. The tournament will begin as a standard single-elimination bracket stage, with each match being a Best of Five. Beginning in the Quarterfinals (Final 8 ), the tournament will transition to Double Elimination. There are no restrictions on god choices. Maps for each individual matchup will be pre-determined at the start of the round, during a hopefully live stream with ChronoJJ and BoIt, who are hosting the tournament. The tournament is possible courtesy of the generous donation of $1000 from AoM viewer Gregg! Thank you Gregg!

Prize Distribution:

1st. $350
2nd. $250
3rd. $125
4th. $75
5th/6th. $60
7th/8th. $45

Voobly Balance Patch 4.0
Blind Pick. No smurfs.
One veto per match within 60 seconds. 60 is ok, 61 is not.
God choice MUST be the same in the restart.
Four maps randomly selected from the standard rated map pool. No repeat maps.
One map randomly selected from a custom KeeN 2017 map pool: Arctic Craters, Borderlands, Drenched River, Fields of Punishment, Lumber Camp, Moat, and Tropical Mirage.
See the Discord channel for additional information on the new maps.
These custom maps are included in Voobly Balance Patch 4.0 for easy practice.

Questions should be directed to ChronoJJ or BoIt.

So everyone knows, the maps were updated on Voobly. There may be a few more minor edits here and there (looking at the rogue berry bushes on Fields of Punishment), but nothing major. The maps are essentially tourney-ready.

Thanks!

noup, skady won with using oranos xd.... In any case, Zeus is on the list but I didn't mention it because an Egyptian is likely to win...

no ofense but if poseidon, hades, "norses", cronos or gaia can not won this tournament... same as the last more than 4 years, It is confirmed that all these years the voobly patch has done nothing.

I like blind pick, but it wi be nicer if map winner cant pick the same God again.

Technically someone can still only win with winning 1 God only, but more chance to see more Gods being played

Whole purpose of having blind pick and preset maps is so that people can play to play certain gods for certain maps. Hence why I said I don't think a mono god player will do well.
