oh shit. some heavy competition ahead. glhf

low-planb is not gonna be on 28th

Forced afaik... if you know the other date it's gonna happen, inform the Eurocup sups asap.

Pretty surprised that le went through as #1. But hey, they have larslarslars so whats not to like? :)

(...) first round deadline is Wednesday 28th of November.

Don't set deadlines if they mean nothing? :|

Do you see me as EuroCup sup ?

It wasn't meant to be directed at you, that's why I linked to wision's post at CB.com.

I don't like being _that_ strict.. so as long as all the teams agree and manage to play all their games before actual EuroCup deadline (21st of December), I don't mind allowing them to play a little bit later. It's still better than giving default wins in the playoffs.

I assume you are aware that the tournament won't be finished by the 21st if every round of playoff takes 2 weeks?

I'm not sure if the teams know that if they take too long for the quarters and semis, they probably won't have enough time to play the finals.

iirc, this has happened in a recent previous cup.

Of course I am aware of that.. that's why those two teams which delayed their game (102/ukn) already spoke to le and agreed to play a day later after.. so semifinals shouldn't be delayed at all.

Great, glad to hear that. Good job! :)

Any confirmation that 102 vs lemmings is tonight? CB.com says "not yet scheduled". It would be a shame if many viewers (or even leveluptv) missed this.

that is a tough compromise to achieve. between following the rules strictly, but fairly and being an asshole admin.

That would explain, why some players think I'm an asshole :D

Play dates updated.

Why l0wfly playing planB, instead of unknown, and same with the other semi. As far as I remember EC was like 2nd vs 3rd and 3rd vs 2nd qualifier all the time.

The ranking displayed on the CB website is wrong. l0wfly are 2nd before 102 because they beat them in their direct encounter.

Exactly. When they have same number of wins/draws, result of the match between tied clans is what matters.

can't we have them a day apart

Wision is trying to do something so both matches could be streamed. We will see yet ...

I find it amazing that in a 2 week period both teams can only play at exactly the same time on the same day, its really frustrating when everybody wants to see both games.

They are best of 5 so the only safe way to do it is different days too.

Move one of the games to the 3rd would be perfect. Should be l0wfly vs planB as the other was already set.

Believe me.. it pissed me off too. It's not like I didn't tell low/planb that they shouldn't play at the same time as 102/ukn.

Yeah we'll try to find a better date

Thanks

(04:07:24) (+h8m3) frs
(04:07:31) (+h8m3) what about playing on 2th or 3rd?

Sigh :/

Seriously they can only do 1 day in a 2 week period? Honestly this is so Quake. Maybe the other game that was set a week earlier to this date could move a day.

Not possible, winz returns from USA @ 3.12. And we couldnt have played earlier cause of dreamhack for the others. But I can try and ask if its possible to move to 5th of Dec from the players and an admin.

Thanks

If one match starts at 21:30 CET, the overlap should be minimal. I guess this might be a problem for the Russians because of their timezone.

Don't forget the matches are bo5, and 21:30 is 00:30 in Russia in winter

Yeah, I realize that it will be hard to separate the matches perfectly. Maybe something like 19:30 and 20:30 is acceptable and the most important maps for both matches can be streamed by lvlup.
