The qualifiers were held on Jan. 19th and Jan. 26th; the remaining 8 players are battling it out for the cash prize of $100 on Mar. 15 and Mar. 22. For the top 8 players, the tournament will be single-elimination style—one loss knocks a competitor out of the tournament, while the winner moves on to the next round.
After two grueling rounds of single elimination, the top two players have been determined: Kevin Yang (5d) and Ryan Huang (2d). The finals will be held on Mar. 22, at 12 p.m. EST (9 a.m. EST). To ensure integrity of results, AGHS proctors will be on call, monitoring the players in real time.
Players can spectate the final round live! It will be livestreamed by Justin Teng and Sean Song on Justin’s Twitch Channel (odnihs).
