Top seeds in Lower Bracket Semi-Final and Upper Bracket Final will have a pick advantage.
Division 2 & Below
For Division 2 and Below we are going to be testing out a new system where we rotate out some of the “core” maps to allow for new ones to be tried and keep the seasons feeling fresh. This core is:
- cp_process
- cp_snakewater
- cp_sunshine
- cp_gullywash
Every season, 3 of these maps will be picked, with the other sitting out until the next season. For this season, we will have have the following maps:
- cp_sunshine
- cp_gullywash_f9
- cp_snakewater_final1
- koth_bagel_rc6
- koth_product_final
- cp_metalworks_f5
- cp_granary_pro_rc14
In the original season announcement we polled the community to choose between two koth maps. With 59,14% of the votes going in favor of koth_product_final against the 40,86% of koth_clearcut_b15d, we will be adding Product to the map pool of the 6v6 Winter Showdown 2023.
The season will use the following map rotation:
- Week 1: cp_gullywash_f9 + koth_product_final
- Week 2: koth_product_final + cp_snakewater_final1
- Week 3: cp_snakewater_final1 + cp_granary_pro_rc14
- Week 4: cp_granary_pro_rc14 + koth_bagel_rc6
- Week 5: koth_bagel_rc6 + cp_metalworks_f5
- Week 6: cp_metalworks_f5 + cp_sunshine
- Week 7: cp_sunshine + cp_gullywash_f9
Playoffs Format
For lower divisions, the following schedule will be used:
- Quarter Finals: April 16th – April 20th
- Semi Finals: April 20th – April 25th
- Grand Final: April 25th – April 30th
