EuroCup XXII - Playoffs

The first match week of the Clanbase Eurocup XXII is nigh and we have some nice matches coming to an ETTV near you soon! The current top teams are still represented, but will they be able to fulfill their duty against the underdogs despite their numerous lineup and name changes?

The four groups have produced a total of 8 clans which will be fighting to the death in the elimination playoff tree. Please find the correct version of the EuroCup XXII - Playoffs below.




First match week

• Team Dignitas vs Aero
  
• e-wave vs Giants
  
• sth vs RAGE
  
• Impact vs mvp

Playoff Rules

• 1. A playoff match is played at least on 2 maps. Both clans select a map from the map list before the start of the match and inform the cup admin at least 30 minutes before the match is set to start. The admin will not announce maps until both teams have confirmed their choices with him/her. In case both teams have chosen the same map, the second map will be selected with the conventional method of map elimination, preceded by a cointoss. The admin will choose which map is played first.
  
• One SW round will be played on each map.
  
• The admin will choose which map is played first. (The map which is played first is usually the first map to be announced by a team.)
  
• Each team will decide on which side to start on the map chosen by their opponent.
  
• Round wins are added to determine the score: the team that wins a SW round receives 2 points; if both teams fail to set a time in a SW round, both teams will get 1 point. So possible scores after the two first maps are: 4-0 3-1 2-2.
  
• In case the game is tied, an extra SW round is played on one of the remaining maps from the maplist. Teams take turns eliminating maps. The winner of the coinflip eliminates the first map, followed by the other team until one map is left to be played. When a map is selected, the team which didn't have final pick chooses who attacks first
  
• Clans are forbidden to chose the same map, previously selected in their two most recent playoff games.

I wish everyone the best of luck and an enjoyable competition.
