EGS | Season 4 League 2 Tournament #4 *Play-Offs" | 6v6 | 18.12
« on: October 14, 2022, 12:07:30 pm »





Welcome to the first tournament of EGS Season 4 hosted by Voluble & DarkTemplar & Chainsor. This season we return with a similar admin team with new ambitious additions to continue making EGS the best series ever. The format stays the same for the highly successful league 2, only difference this season has is there is no loans available during 5v5s and League 1 has a different format. Same old EGS, same old consistency and media coverage expected!
The tournament will be hosted on Sunday the 18th December at 20:00GMT. There will be a transfer ban for this tournament. The tournament will be played in the standard 6v6 format. Teams will have to fight their way through a groupstage in order to claim victory.


Brackets HERE

Head Admins & Admins
Referees

TBA

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 Quarter and Semi-Finals (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.

Dear EGS community

The Organizers are happy to announce a new system to the EGS playoffs.
As stated several times now, the EGS aims to be among the top events organized. To ensure this, the admin team discusses new ideas on a regular basis, to further improve everyones experience.

So we're going to implement the best of format, for now, to the season ending playoffs.
What does that mean?
the top 8 teams will face each other in the first rounds in a bo3 ft5 format, seeding will be done, based on the points acquired through the season. The looser of every match is knocked out instantly. The winners will advance into a double elimination bracket where the remaining 4 will play for top placements. The format will change into bo3 ft7 for all matches.
we tried to find the balance between fairness, Entertainment and time-optimization.

Why did we change the format? Because the Season 1 ending featured some intense matches, but not really anything worth being the end and climax of a whole season of over 2 months playing and practicing.

We really hope everything will work out as intended and it's going to provide a nice ending to the 4th season.

if you have any further questions, feel free to reach out to Chainsor and me

Why BO3 instead of double elim for all teams from the start?

we went from having dogshit servers to having to play a possible 3+ hour long tourney that under normal circumstances should be over in less than 2 hours.

Did u guys even take different timezones into account ? Playing nw till 1am is rather unpleasant when you have lessons from 8 till 6 the next day

also bo3 ft7 double elim for the top 4 teams ?

thank you for your feedback :)
and thank you for bringing up the server issues. I have the feeling you think  that's something where we like to don't enjoy it. But I have to confess, that's not our goal. That's even more  a reason why we said it's for L2, because you had issues at the start, so we want to implement a good thing, for the poeple falling short at the beginning.

the 2nd point is honestly a good one, we didn't. That's why we will change the format a little bit, to make it faster for the finalists. New system will be double elim in groups, with two advancing, and then single elim with bo3 format
I'd say this is a time 2- 2 2/1 hours, for a season ending playoffs, where the best fight each other.
as already stated, this is a tournament with the best teams of the whole season playing, and our goal is not only to satisfy the winners, but also teams who will be knocked out in the beginning, to have a reason to show up, and not getting kicked out in the first 15mins and leaving then

Great idea! L2 always ends after a hour or 2 this way we can show our true skills

Lovely final tournament with the 115e squad. Losing by the smallest of margins against two excellent teams is nothing to be ashamed of, only goes to show that small details can make a big difference.

Enjoyed the new format, despite being announced a bit late (causing confusion for some people) it has this 'esport' vibe I really like. Interested to see how playoffs teams experience it.

Thanks a ton to the whole admin team and everyone involved, was great playing.
Don't worry about what people think, they don't do it very often.
