Every team must read the following rules as they are very important and EGS rules are different compared to normal tournaments.
We were kind of disappointed by seeing that even some captains didn't even read the rules. Please, read it all.


Roster Rules
- Rosters are capped at 9 people as you are aware.
- Players MUST sign up with their community names ONLY. No roleplay names allowed.
- Must also use community faces rather than randomized ones OR you face punishment (refer to EGS Rules)
- Transfer deadline is set at 5pm (17:00 GMT) the day before every tournament . After that, not a SINGLE change will be allowed.
[close]
General Rules
- Melee speed will be set on medium.
- The only class allowed is the line infantry.
- You aren't allowed to spawn if you are not playing.
- All matches will be ft5, apart from the  Round 2/Semi Finals/Losers Finals and Bronze Match (ft7) and the Final (ft10).
- A good behaviour is expected. Insulting/toxicity will lead to 1 warning then a suspension from matches.
- Cheating once will result in a permanent ban of any future EGS tournaments.
- ID MUST be provided, if not, players with ID's missing won't be allowed to play. It can result in a temporary ban or even more.
[close]

Match Rules
- Once a match has been called, each team has ~5 minutes to get ready.
- If the first round is not started within ~5 minutes, the responsible team will be punished, as 1 round will be awarded to their opponents.

- After each round, each team has ~1 minutes before they must have typed 'r' again.
- If the next round is not started within ~1 minutes, the responsible team will be punished, as 1 round will be awarded to their opponents.

-The rules above are controlled by the referee - if the referee says ~5 or ~1 minutes is up, then the time is up.

-If there is clear delaying in a duel at the end of a round after 2 minutes then a warning to the fight will be given. If the player continues to delay or run from the duel then the admin can slay the player.

-In any case of a server crash/map change if it is to happen, then all current rounds WILL be VOIDED.

-tiebreaks will be; 1- wins vs tied opponents ; 2 - points

Introduction

Spoiler
This Sunday the third tournament of the EGS S2 will be played, with the third and last new size of this season. Will we see another tournament winner besides Amaterasu? Can somebody break the dominance of the "Big 5" and make a semi-final appearance? Will the group stage be more exciting, and what do the standings actually say?

Unsurprisingly Amaterasu is leading in the standings with the maximum of possible points, followed by Poosy who are closer to Amaterasu than to the third-placed team. That team being ProudBoys, who are benefitting from the fact they different from Virgins and Enigma made it to minimum the semi-final in both tournaments. Virgins than leading Enigma by only 10 points on places four and five. Quiet but consistent is a good word for both NSS and Snappers who have 130 points each and by that are in the Top 8 at this very moment. Closing that Top 8 who qualify for the play-offs is CCCP, who highly benefit from the good performance in the 6v6, and if they continue that could rise to place 6 after this tournament. Especially 13e Academy and BlackNights are close to the Top 8 and will for sure be trying to advance in the rankings in the future. Looking for a top spot we shouldn't forget teams like Gordon, MistyMountains, Fluss, and especially NPP either.

Prediction

Spoiler
When it comes to the favorite it is easy and logical to name Amaterasu first. Being the champion of both tournaments of this season so far, they don't need to be afraid of anything. And they will be ready to win the 7v7, although it will also be a challenge. The 7v7 is the format that will need every team member to perform to their personal best. And till now Amaterasu had enough people to cover some members having bad days, but with Altair being somewhat off the the level of the other guys and Zenon not being in any shape it is likely Amaterasu has no room for substitutions when it comes to big matches. And a weak day could cost the title defense. That being said they are still the big favorite. My personal guess for being the biggest contender is ProudBoys. That probably sounds confusing as I have talked about a missing depth in their roster in the past and the 7v7 is the format that will need exactly this. But Proudboys had to deal with some hard stuff in the last 2 tournaments and still have been extremely close to more than "just" a 3rd and a 4th place. Movement has been playing surprisingly decent, Shadey as "the" key player has a lot more to show, and if Alatriste is back to give them another option we should expect ProudBoys to really challenge for a final.

Poosy is the team, that I think is the hardest to guess for this tournament. Either they will shine now or they will decrease their performance. Only RIkkert, Python, and Domi to some extend have played to what we expected them to do so far. And the next tournaments will show if Poosy can fight back to old performances now or if their time of dominance is over. But what is sure is that guys such as Bagins, Herishey, Axiom, and Troister need to improve if they wanna fill their very own expectations. Virgins had the most spectacular roster change, with Extazz leaving the team, a guy that carried them in the 5v5 and is probably the best player of the game rn, and janne being added. A guy with a totally different playstyle, but possibly the best guy that was free, so a worthy addition. The team without Extazz could even be more dangerous as they will be harder to forsee and members such as Quenouille and Steinmann now not only can, but need to look for something. On the other hand it will be hard for the team to find 7 people that play to a level close to Amaterasu without a guy, that can win a match alone.

So far being a quite and consistent team, Snappers are once more looking for a quarter-final. The transfer of Ivan is both a chance and a risk. No doubt Ivan in form can help any team, but swapping out 2 guys that are literally consistency machines is a hard decision at the same time. Enigma will also be looking for a deep run, but in the big format, it could be hard for them to achieve. Maybe this format compels Enigma to give Nightwing more playtime in important matches, something he looks capable of successfully doing.

When we take a look at the midfield teams, 13e Academy will be trying to go for a good result, with the help of BlackBeard, a top player along midfield teams, it looks more than likely,
. They are my guess for a quarter-final. Maybe not a quarter-final but at least advancing out of the group should be the case for NPP. Being shocked by both 13e and Gordon last time, and finishing group-stage only 4th, they will know the answers. It's hard to believe Melsyo has nothing to offer that will improve the situation. Having talked about Gordon they will try to repeat a good performance and should normally benefit the bigger the format gets. Along the backmarkers, Amigos and SF are the teams with the highest chance to reach the top 3 of their respective group. When it comes to Fluss it is hard to believe they can once again go that deep into a tournament. But everybody should have realized they are a team that needs to be taken seriously.

Player to watch out

Spoiler
These are the guys I reckon could get MVP of their respective teams: Zeyden, Python, Shadey, Quenouille, Wolpi, Mike, BlackBeard, Flo.
They are more then just good, and will do their best performance of the season this Sunday: RedFire, Shadey, Barro, Wolpi, Troister.
People for whom a 7v7 could be a breakthrough: Nightwing, Komar, Chuckster, Twister.
Too good for a low/mid-tier team. Something like that could be said for the following people: Faisan, Yoshie, Sadman, Camm15Elbe, Ciomcio, Narrow.

No risk with Ivan, you just get consistent crap performances because he is clearly inferior to the top players like DOMI Python and Bagins.

Not that you could know about it when you wrote the preview, but we asked for a replacement because two of our best players (Narrow & Nock) will be missing. Yes, BB is a fantastic addition that will boost any team, but reaching the quarter-final with a weakened line-up will be a lot harder regardless. Cheers for the mention though, excited about tonight!
Don't worry about what people think, they don't do it very often.

Actually as this is a thing that happens quite often. If captains wanna tell me in the week before who is missing from their teams for the upcoming tournament, I am happy to include it and could be more direct with some predicitions.
