The gametypes are MLG v1 settings for everything, although those that choose to play in beginners will only be playing slayer. "Beginner" is at your judgment, but remember the big cash prizes and good competition are in advanced, so there is really no incentive to lie. Can't wait to see you guys there. ( 2v2 is slayer only as well of course MLG Gamebattles Rules although Adrift/Solace are in rotation as game 3 maps if the tournament fills up, since we will need to do some losers rounds split screen if we have a full house.
Thankyou Director looks much nicer, doing things this early in the morning can be sloppy.
