Third Round (Loser's Bracket): BoT vs. RoR

Because of TDH dropping from the tournament, BoT will face RoR in an elimination game.  Remember, if the score is 2-1-1, the 5th map Tantive CTF tiebreaker must be played.  If it's 2-2-1, the tied map (DS CTF) is played sudden death style to determine the winner.  Try to get this done ASAP (sorry Ahole, it's just how it worked out, RoR twice in a row).

I suggest using the Belgian and MoC servers for the most balanced gameplay.  But if Ahole chooses the BFC, then EU can feel free to select the one best for them. We ran 120-140 pings in the Belgian server against EU.

I recommend BOT and ROR play in the MOC server the whole time. Most of BOT's pings will be similar to ROR's (~140).

I meant RoR, mistake in the title.

Not sure when Dyablo is back, but we won't be able to play next week.
And Stern, Ping does not mean lag, we won't play every map in an US server if you got same pings in UFEC.

Can we NOT do 3 extra maps vs eu if it goes to 2-1-1(clearly that isn't a tie). That should be a win, i was fine with it when we lost to TFR. And Delta 120-140 is like that for you because you're in the east coast, most of us are in central/pacific.

Anyways, Phantom ill setup a date/time through the chat.

True, you guys were on the bad end of that deal...perhaps switching mid-way through is a bad idea.

It is. Besides, i rather not do 3 extra CTF maps.

See if you an Phantom can agree on something (technically not "3" maps...just 2...). If not, we'll have to discuss that too.

lol what?

2-1-1 isn't a tie, it's just not a finished match. A 4 map match + 1 tiebreaker makes no fuckin sense now its a best of 5. That's the same thing as asking why you wouldn't just do 3 maps since 2-1 isn't a tie either.

against EU, its different. 2-1-1 is complete. 4 maps done, 1 clan only managed to win 1 map while the other won 2 maps. Even though DS is a complete waste of time, it will most likely become a draw, favoring Eu since it's played in a US server. But overall, whatever...these Eu vs Us matches have never gotten so retarded until this season.

That's the point of the rule change though... It's not 4 maps anymore it's 5, like I said a 4 map match didn't make any sense. A tie should never be beneficial to one team, now you have to actually win 3 maps to win the match.

What about playing this on sunday?

After Friday, my members wont be able to play for 2 weeks (moving to dorms)

Just saying as it will be damn hard to get 6 players after August.

We coulda done this on Friday instead of the playoffs, but the admins for what ever reason rather get the playoffs done. But ya, its will be hard but its already hard now haha

Do this on Friday also. If you can only do one, I advise you do this instead, because getting 6 on will be easier if earlier. Also, in the playoffs, you're making R wait, but here, you're making LSJ, TFR, and MOC wait.

Well the later it will be decided, the harder it will be to get 6 decent players for me.

Maybe this can work, but it would get very late, especially as tie breakers are quite probable.
Not sure if my players want to play that late. as we can't start earlier than 2:30 Central anyways.
If BoT says they'd do it I'll ask my players.

Okay, most of my players can't play 2 matches as there's school etc the next day. One had an idea of making the playoff match 6 vs 6 with specials and count it for 6 vs 6 and playoffs. I kinda like this idea.

"The admins" said nothing...

@Phantom... We might be able to get the 6v6 done 2 weeks after the playoffs at the most.

@Delta... I read the staff topic that poison made...

Even if we do it in 2 weeks, there are still many matches to play later.
We waited 1 month for your player to fix his internet already.
Just saying that it will be hard to get the matches done.
What do you think about playing 6 vs 6 on friday and counting it for playoffs aswell?

That's fine, but I said nothing officially. So, don't blame us.
