With just a week until the Crossfire Devotii Challenge 3 the tension is mounting and now its time to turn up the temperature with the ever contentious seeds and groups, along with the schedule! Its also time to announce the final tournament revisions as we've been met with some challenges.
Tournament Revisions
The ET tournament will be 20 teams played in 4 groups of 5 teams, this means that we'll be able to offer teams more matches than at any of the previous tournaments. Further to that, The top two teams will progress to a double elimination bracket and the 3rd and 4th teams will go into a single elimination bracket for their eventual rankings. Again meaning that teams will play more matches than ever before at CDC. However, with this being some 4 teams short of our original plan, we've lost on revenue for prizes, it means the ET prizepool will drop from 6200, to a flat 6000 Euro.
The Warsow Tournament has had massive player changes however today we've settled and confirmed on a 16 player tournament with groups of 4 and a double elimination 8 man bracket emerging from that. Again we've taken a hit on the signups and the prizepurse will be 1200 Euro.
Seeds
Ever the contentious issue! Whilst we have seeded individually, meaning we have a 1st 2nd 3rd seed etc, the primary function of seeds within a group is to seperate them into a group so Dignitas and TLR for example arent in the same group. Keeping the tiers apart from one another is the important factor, not who is 5th vs who is 6th. Seedings were done on results and achievements.

Lastly but not leastly, the Tournament Schedule & Groups. We've tried to accomodate a variety of requests for start times and tried to make the warmup and setup time longer this event. You can view the tournament schedule here. In addition you can see just 2 matches on Saturday night, that is because we will be holding a cash prized poker tournament at 8pm on Saturday. Tommorow we will announce our partner and its prize!

good luck vae, squall and holz <3
good luck blazz weeeeeeeeeeeeeee
YOU CANT TELL ME THAT WASNT PLANNED TOSSPOT!
"Seedings were done on results and achievements." team massacre is below GaB because we beat them in the latest ET-Cup in the group standings, and are now in the semis against dignitas, 118 has not even been playing et longer than our team and has not participated in anything either than the ET-Cup in which they also lost most if not all of their matches (not trying to hate, just stating the facts)
massacre also won against Kreaturen early on in the ET-Cup, which you may regard as a "poor" win because they had flugel instead of their current starter snoop, but irregardless it was a win
massacre also did well against overload in an ET-Cup match as well, losing 2-1, and you're justifying that with overload being in the seed of 8 and massacre the seed of 14...
I'm not trying to cry, whine, or even change your decision, just merely trying to point out the inconsistencies with the post above
torn@r is with you so you will win anyways.
I realize even if tm was placed in 11, it would still position them in the same division, just a higher seed, but again it's the point that "Seedings were done on results and achievements." - which isn't true
anyway nice play a few good clans at lan, will no doubt be tough for them (:D)
this is the aim, the perfection this is how you want to play ET

this is how we like to do things at 118, it may not be pretty but it gets the job done

I thank you very much.
Is it on rounds, or heads up result? Or both?
How do you decide positions when teams have equal wins?...
