3on3 WC Playoffs

My eyes were severely hurt after glancing through this post. ._.

Good job though! Should be fun to follow.

A single elimination








uuuuuuuu that pressure !1111

(to Vokki)

There is a total amount of 23 teams. If we would include a double elimination Bo3 the tournament would at least take a few months to finish.

Will the teams still be bothered playing then.

Single elimination Bo5 saves some time for other teams to focus on CG/CF tournaments.

belgium is low and i love the idea of bo5. single elim is pretty bad tho :/
can u explain how we choose maps ?

somehow cant sign up..

Best of 5 xD like it gonna make a difference losing 3 maps or 2 maps to razz & co, just saying double bracket would have been a much better option, however it is your cup good job anyway keep it up!

You've got no time for Double Elmination brackets in a main tournament where best games are going to be played, but you got time (25 days already since 1st quali game) to make a double elmination system in qualifiers for shit games that are being postponed over and over again. Qualis ain't even over lol.

Half ot teams above gonna play against much better teams in 1/8 already (especially these who play vs PL, FIN, UK etc) and after 3 (maybe 4) maps it will be over for them. Teams have been waiting 1-2 months for a main tournament to get a chance to play 3 maps vs sqzz, get raped, and that's it. Not even a chance to make a comeback in loser brackets against lower and/or equal teams.

Double elimination brackets for 16 teams takes 6-7 weeks, ok let's count it as 8. With 7 days schedule for each week, a strict schedule (forced games for Sunday/Monday, after that forfeits) + Qualifiers made faster & in a better system would take same amount of time (approx. 3 months = 2 for playoffs, 1 for qualis and signups) as it will with your bo5 tournament - Signups were opened on 04.02.2014 - so I hope the Grand Final will be played at the beginning of the May, at the very last, since bo5 should "save some time".

Just my 2 cents. Do not even bother to reply if you still have nothing interesting to say, trampolina.

On tombe bien

I would only suggest to add a -new- schedule and sort of try and stick to it (forfeits) because well qualis are rlly taking too long...(2nd part of what fanatic said is dead true). I saw the NL qualis were forced to be played today but now they are gone or rescheduled again:( . Not that I am affected seriously but the overall interest in the event could be lower if games continue to get posponed too long and the common joke "is theer an EC going on?" could take place here :P

I have to agree with fanatic here... basically with everything he said lol. Qualis takes too long, and main tournament will be just one game for a lot of teams, and even the outcome is very obvious. I mean there is no real point to make lower teams play if they cant really fight with equall skilled teams. The begining of the tournament will be just rape. At the end we surely will see some nice games but i actually dont care with it, cause i dont watch ettv, i just wanna play :p

Guys, I don't mind being the tournament lasting a lot more longer. I just tried to save all teams some time with CG and CF cups coming up.
