Highlander Season 12: Playoffs & Tiebreaker Scores

Date April 30, 2017

HL_S_12

Welcome everyone to the playoffs of the 12th season of ETF2L Highlander. We hope you enjoyed the matches, and for the teams that made it through, congratulations.

All tiers will have playoffs, all playoff matches will be using the seeded Map Elimination system. Note that all dates are estimates and teams are able to negotiate other days by scheduling with their opponents.

If you find yourself on the list of these teams expect an admin to add you and request your availability, if there is no information or insufficient information given we will have to decide your match dates for you. Keep in mind that we will try and accommodate both teams, but the match date may still vary from your provided days, if for example none of the days match with your opponent, but your opponent offered more days than you did. Deadlines listed for the matches are flexible and may be changed in certain situations if admins are contacted about allowing extensions on these.

    Thanks for the awesome season. See you for the next one

  9. Erupo89: ceo said:

    good job in giving bye game to 3 of the 4 semifinalists on high. Fair and balanced, like random kritz.

  10. Pahan: RUS - OCHOBA said:

    close games in high

  11. TimTum: (ETF2L Donator) - -ƒ$-BLAH said:

    Erupo that’s not the fault of the admins/ETF2L. Blame nakedgaming for dropping after the first week.

  12. Maximus said:

    I don’t know if it’s feasible but wouldn’t it be fairer to give the byes to the currently last placed teams? I see this in a lot of seasons where mid-table teams who aren’t quite good enough to make playoffs on their own get a free 6 points a convenient time and almost/barely make it to playoffs.

  13. Yxxo: TSM - pizza said:

    I believe some of the byeweeks were so teams didnt have to play the same teams more than once. Pretty sure that is why CRAZYBWAII got the byeweek in last week atleast.

  14. TimTum: (ETF2L Donator) - -ƒ$-BLAH said:

    I’m pretty sure the byeweeks are there because there’s an uneven amount of teams in high.

  15. Dingo: HG - cirlo said:

    Bye weeks were given because of the uneven amounts of teams, and are always given to the team in the middle position of the tier. I think it’s a fair solution and probably the best given the alternatives, giving them to the last placed team would upset the balance that the Swiss system tries to create, pushing a team higher in the table than it would actually be and giving someone else an easy fixture against a team that otherwise might be placed last for a very good reason; that’s also something that should be avoided and could be eventually complained about.
    Regarding nakedgaming, they dropped even before their first match, leading to this kind of situation from the very beginning.

    In the end various factors stacked up but the true reason Italian DM Heroes didn’t make it through even after beating two teams in the playoffs, is the fact that the requested demos were not provided. Something learnt the hard way, but I hope it’ll be a lesson for those involved to be more careful in the future not to repeat the same mistake.

    The only suggestion I might have would be to increase the length of the season, I understand that 5 weeks were chosen given the number of signups so that the High and Mid tiers wouldn’t be put together again, and maybe increase the skill floor required to be in Premiership, but I think that the system showed its flaws in this 5 week season, which for many ended up being a 4 week season.

    Nonetheless, I would like to wish good luck to the remaining playing teams, may the best one win!

    bye weeks are given to the team in the middle of the table for the reasons stated by dingo. We have to make hard decisions in order to keep the highlander season running, at the end of the day declining signups mean it is unlikely highlander will go back to 7 week four tier system.

    Also Europo your team would have made playoffs if you, kate and bes followed the rules regarding recording and uploading demos.

    You got a default win against nakedgaming,it’s not like it was any different
    and yeah,you should know that you are supposed to record EVERY match,can’t blame admins for that
    this said,i still think that ITA DM HEROES deserved to make it into playoffs, will keep cheering for you ITAs <3
    ^sorex is a god btw
