The preliminary groups page now has avatars. Many thanks to our community on the forums for submitting images to us for consideration. You have helped the organization and setup of this tournament become much easier than in years past, and we greatly appreciate it.

We are about one day away from the start of Phase I. Remember that we adjusted our schedule recently, so matches will start this coming Sunday rather than Thursday. Look forward to the matchups!

At the moment, I am not sure if match previews will be available prior to the start of voting in the Preliminaries. We might delay that feature until the Regular Season.
