When does the tournament start for u21?

I've noticed that we're stripped of players at the moment and no games are scheduled. Just wondering when we'll know how our team is shaping up.

Since we qualified for the Worlds directly by winning gold in continentals, we have to wait 3 weeks for repechage to end before we know our Worlds schedule. Magiker will likely wait until the day before our first game to put players on the roster. The reason you wait until the last minute is because we want to see how everyone's GS is, and also if we call players up a few days early, and they get injured on the Saturday before the Worlds begins, then we just wasted roster spots.

We have some info on the players we are considering on the offsite forum.

Definitely once the roster is up we will announce the contest winners!

Thanks, didn't know this part.

This part makes a lot of sense.

Let me just throw in one last post pleading Pagan's case before we make the roster. Right now he's here:


I still can't update him in the database or anything so I'm worried no one has heard about him. If he's worse than the other players, fine, but I just wanted him to be at least considered.

Thanks^ I'll make sure magiker knows, but I'm guessing he does.

Also, game shape is extremely important, so far you have been playing him 96 minutes a week. Needs to be more like 55-75 minutes a week to get that game shape up to strong or proficient. I know magiker won't take anyone with bad game shape.
