ESL Summer Leagues 2011 Playoffs

We have just finished the ESL Summer Leagues 2011 Groupstage, and here we are, announcing the Playoffs. So far, we had 64 teams in 3on3, and 72 teams in 5on5. We would like to thank all the teams that participated in the Summer Leagues so far, and wish good luck to those that will participate in the Playoffs.
Also, we have a new schedule for this part of the Summer Leagues:

• 24th of July - 31th of July - Winner Bracket Round 1
  
• 1st of August - 7th of August - WB Round 2 & LB Round 1
  
• 28th of August - 14th of August - Loser Bracket Round 2
  
• 15th of August - 21th of August - Loser Bracket Round 3
  
• 22th of August - 28th of August - WB Round 3 & LB Grand Final
  
• 27th of August - 4th of September - Winner Bracket Grand Final

All the players that were in the teams that didn't qualify can now play in the ESL Summer Leagues Playoffs.
As a rule change, we have decided to let teams make certain arrangements(merc rule). Meaning all players can play in the Playoffs if they are not added to the team that they wish to play with. The conditions are:
1. The opponent agree's
2. The opponent do not protest after the match -> if this happens, we shall decide this match as rules say
3. The player has never played in the Playoffs for any other team -> A player cannot play/merc for 2 teams in the playoffs.

Keep in mind that Sunday is an informative date and that the forced date is Tuesday. Also, be sure to play the maps that are in the mappool, not other maps that go through your mind at that moment.
