Experimental Highlander Cup #1 round-up and Final details

Date February 10, 2012

Despite some slight technical hitches and delays, we managed to hold our first ever experimental one-night cup for Highlander! We saw plenty of really close and superb matches on some unorthodox maps, which will hopefully translate into some constructive feedback for their creators. With 42 signups, we divided the teams into three brackets – Low, Mid and High – with Low and Mid having 16 teams each and High having 10 teams with 6 teams receiving byes for the first round.

The results of the first 3 rounds have left us with the following matchups:

High Bracket

European SNSD v Finland Colony

Mid Bracket

 Italy GFM Highlander team v  Belarus Free Fire

Low Bracket

 Sweden Gibs \’R\ Us’ v  International The Low-Fi High-Five Team

Congratulations to those teams and thank you for everyone who took part tonight, please remember to give your feedback in this thread.

The maps for the Final are currently – cp_upland_rc2, cp_foundry and ctf_turbine_pro_rc1 as the decider map. The final will be played in a best of 3 maps format.

Due to the amount of default wins on pl_barnblitz, we will give teams the option to replace either cp_upland or cp_foundry with pl_barnblitz for the final providing both teams agree to swap one of these maps. The decider map (if required) will be ctf_turbine_pro_rc1. Please make sure you make a note of the maps you have decided  to play on the match page. Teams will have until Sunday 19th February to play their matches.

    nice delay guys but good job =_=

    Honestly I know this AC Team has gone to shit now Chris is not there. The Anti Cheat team needs to be changed and improved, and now I do not see it happening because the driving force for change is not here. I am not saying that the bans are wrong, I am saying has anyone seen any improvement in the Anti Cheat Team since he was not there? There is no talk of the things they said but now does the new AC Team even want to do them? It is really a shame because I do not think that He would let it go this long. What are the problemsЫ?

    It is now three months from Beaverns unban when they said about this and when I asked him about it he was really wanting to do it ASAP and thought it was a big issue. But yet I see nothing now. And who is the AC Team now anyway? Just hys?

    And yes I posted this under a fake account, but trust me I don’t do that for no reason at all.
