Schedule and Format

Group Stage: April 24th - April 25th, 2017

• 16 teams in a single group
• Swiss-system format
  • Four rounds
  • Opponents always have the same win/loss record
  • Teams never play an opponent twice
• All matches are Bo3

Main Event: April 27th - April 30th, 2017

• After round 4 of group stage, teams are seeded into the single elimination bracket according to their results:
  • 2 teams with 3-0 records
  • 3 teams with 3-1 records
  • 6 teams with 2-2 records
  • 3 teams with 1-3 records
  • 2 teams with 0-3 records
• Seeding between teams with same amount of wins and loses wil be determined the following way:
  • Admins count all the games won vs all games lost for each team
    Example: Team A has 2-0, 2-1, 1-2, 2-0 and Team B has 2-1, 2-1, 0-2, 0-2, so the total results of team A is 7-3 and team B is 6-4, so A has a higher seed, since they have more victories.
  • If a tie remains, then the total score of their opponents is then compared.
    Example: Team A's opponents ended with 3-0, 1-3, 1-3, 0-3 and Team B's opponents ended with 3-1, 2-2, 2-2, 1-3, so the total will be 5-9 versus 8-8. Team B's opponents were stronger so this team's results have more value, and B will be seeded higher.
• Next teams at the opposite side of the backet are paired with each other:
  • Team with best 3-0 are paired with the worst 0-3
  • Team with worst 3-0 are paired with the best 0-3
  • 2 best teams with 3-1 records with the 2 worst 1-3 on the other two corners of the bracket, and the remaining 3-1 goes versus top 1-3
  • 6 teams with 22 are dvided into 3 pairs (best 2-2 with the worst 2-2)
• All matches are Bo3 except the grand finals which is Bo5

The major was really nice! Felt like i had a nice grasp on this one for once and my predictions went really well!

[Epyon]

Nice picks, you get special rewards for these don't you?

[Teddiy]

Yeah got 10 extra level on my battlepass from those predictions.

[Epyon]

What do the levels do or is it more of an E-peen thing?

[Teddiy]

Yeah pretty much, some extra hats and whatnot for higher lvls.
