Highlander Nations Cup #2 – Group E: Scotland vs. Sweden

Sweden will be the favourites coming into this one, boasting a mix of 6v6 stars and highlander experience. I’m sure people will be watching to see how the change from 6v6 to highlander works out for ryb and 2nuts, as it could be key for Sweden’s tournament hopes. Who knows who Scotland will use, I don’t think they even know at this point!

Reverto vs Team Chokers

The first tiebreaker comes from division one when REVERTO faces recently re-named Politically correct pander. Both teams ended up with the same amount of points after the season, which included a 3-3 draw between them on week one. The loser tonight will have to fight Last Man Standing in order to gain promotion to the Premiership, while the winner goes home with straight-off promotion. Who will prevail?

Season 15 powered by BlackOut Gaming – Playoffs & Tie breakers

The main season of ETF2L Season 15 powered by BlackOut Gaming is now over. All that remains is what you have all been waiting for: The conclusion of Season 15 in the Premiership Playoffs. There are also some additional tie breaker matches. Please note that we only create tiebreaker matches for ties that are relevant for pro- or demotions of a team or further playoffs. If two or more teams are tied for the 3rd place (or the 1st place in a division where the top 2 get promoted), all of them will receive a bronze (respectively golden) pixel trophy.

Tie breakers

Premiership Division Playoff Tiebreaker:

SOLAR vs Revoluzion la metagame

Format

All tiebreaker and Premiership Playoff matches are played as best of 3 maps. Any map from the Season 15 map pool can be chosen. In the Premiership Playoffs, the team that finished higher on the table gets the first map pick. For the tiebreakers, teams can either agree on the first map or perform a Heavy Fist Fight to decide which team gets the right to select the first map. From the second map on, you have to use the Loser’s Pick system.

Schedule

All Tie breakers have to be played until July 27th. If your match is not scheduled by July 19th a default date will be set by an admin.

Special case: The deadline for  REVERTO vs Politically correct pander is July 13th, because the loser will face  Last Man Standing in the Premiership relegation match. A default date for this tiebreaker will be set on July 5th, if necessary.

Premiership Division Playoffs

All Tied Up has withdrawn from the Premiership Playoffs. This breaks up the three way tie and makes the whole situation a whole lot easier. Once  SOLAR and  Revoluzion la metagame have battled it out, the Premiership Playoffs can officially kick off.

Don’t forget what you are fighting for!

• 1st Place – €500 + 6 Club 3D Radeon HD 7850 royalKing

• Playoff 3: July 21st – July 27th
