Meet as many people as you can , and try and make as many friends as possible while you ' re there . When you ' re asking for advice , ask specific questions . When you ask vague , broad questions , you ' ll get vague , broad answers that will likely be unhelpful . Also , if they ' re giving you actual information , don ' t simply smile and nod your head and let the information pass over you . If they ' re giving you advice and you think it ' d be more helpful with an example or in other words , ask for that I ' m only saying this based off my experience trying to help scrubs . Now , to answer your questions You ' ll likely have a hard time finding complete noob scrublords at a tournament with a $ 100 venue fee . Expect everyone to be competent . Your pool should have 24 seeded players and everyone else seeded randomly , so there ' s a small chance you ' ll play your top seed . If you end up fighting a top player , ask as many specific questions as you can ! Stage counterpicking is very simple . Let ' s say Player A beats Player B game 1 . A tells B what stage he bans . B tells A what stage he ' d like to go to . A has the option to switch characters or not . After A ' s character choice , B has the option to switch characters . After B ' s character choice , they play game 2 . Hope any of that helped !
