Hello Warriors of the Edain!
Welcome to another little contribution to the BattleZone Cup 2020.
Here in this short thread, I would like to tell you guys a little about the upcoming round of 32. Also, i would like to talk about the finished group stage and tiebreaker.
If any of you missed it last night: the players for the coming weekend have been drawn to see who will compete against whom. Here the link (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ECBtJ6AHoI4Yll2rG15h8ckEHVVDwGdlP01h--xDlmk/edit#gid=0) how the round of 32 is planned.
Okay, let's get started!
The K.O stage will be bo3. The faction are chosen by the respective players themselves, as in the group stage, but in this case, each faction can only be chosen ONCE!
There will be fixed times for the upcoming games. You can see them here (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ECBtJ6AHoI4Yll2rG15h8ckEHVVDwGdlP01h--xDlmk/edit#gid=0). The times can be changed by the players on request. You can change the time of your match between the 18.03 and 24.03. Within these days, you have to play your match!
Right now, the round of 32 is taken place on the 21.03 and 22.03. It can happen, that sometimes no agreement for a new time can be found. In this case, the player, who can play the match on the weekend, wins. Also for those guys, who are delayed 30 minutes, lose the match. So, please be there on time. Sounds unfair, but we told you guys, that there will be fixed times for the K.O stage.
Just a quick reminder for the replay duty: All matches, who are not gonna be played on the weekend, you still need to upload a replay! There will be a special thread for that.
An exception for the replay duty: All matches, who are getting in a live stream, there is no need to upload a replay.
If my brain forgot something, we might add it later into this thread.
Finally, I would like to say one or two sentences about the group phase and its course.
I am pleased, that the group stage and the tiebreakers came off without any problems and that everything worked out very well.
I would like to thank every participants, who have been with us to the round of 32. Don't be sad, next year you guys have a new chance to participate and to win the tournament!
I also hope that you have enjoyed it so far and look forward to the exciting matches that lie ahead of us!
And now a big thank you to all the volunteers who host matches, record and help us organize this event. It is an incredible time and we hope for you guys as well! I could express my thanks for much longer, but I think its more than enough for now.
Now, I wish you guys a good week and we'll hear us on Saturday at the latest! See you soon!
Sincerely yours,
the "BattleZone Cup 2020"-Team
