Turbine Cup powered by Tt eSPORTS

As only the top two teams of each group will proceed into the knockout stages on Tuesday, we will host tiebreakers on Monday, May 5th, from 20:00CEST onwards. Matches can be played at any other time that day if both teams agree on a time, as long as the results are submitted before 23:00CEST that same day. We will randomly decide winners of unplayed games and unsubmitted results after that!

To keep everything simple & quick, tiebreakers will be played in a single golden cap round with no timelimit and the first intel cap to win the GC. Three-way ties will result in three GC rounds being played. No regular rounds will be played.

If a three-way tiebreaker results in another three-way tie, the team who capped intel the fastest during those three tiebreaker GCs wins the whole tiebreaker and proceeds into the knockout stages.

Please make sure at least one of your team’s representatives is on IRC in #etf2l during the appointed matchtimes to make sure you have a means to contact your opponent. You can use our webchat plugin for that.

tiebreakers altogether to reduce clutter.

    And what if you have a quantum finish in a three-way tiebreaker three-way tie? How do you determine who was faster without skewing the results?

    We toss a coin. Tails is Team A, Heads is Team B, and if it’s neither it’s Team C.

    I think that’s the fairest solution.

    Or, you could simply count who had the highest number of intelligences capped amongst three. I think that would be much more fairer.

    Ok, I just read that. Forgive me.

    Golden cap 1-cap-tiebreakers sound like a really bad idea in my opinion.

    it is a bad idea :D
    it creates a middle fight that decides who wins.

    Very well, ash, you could also throw a three-sided die!

    Well, a golden cap decider is a lot like a penalty shoot-out in football. Quick and you have to be a bit lucky. It’s for a quick decision, after all. Still not as dirty and lucky as a Heavy fist fight ;)
