Please contact your opponents in #etf2l on IRC, so ensure at least one of your team is in there at all times. If you have any problems with contacting your opponents, please talk to an Admin.

VERY IMPORTANT: As you have no doubt seen and realised if you have participated in or followed previous cups, accurate timekeeping is very important. There are a number of rules with regards to time-keeping that you should be aware of and please try your best to follow:

• If your cup match is starting more than 10 minutes after the scheduled round start time, you must inform an Admin.
• When your match starts more than 10 minutes late, please reduce the map time to 15-25 minutes, depending on how long you have left before the next round starts. Bear in mind that if the map finishes in a draw, there will be a golden cap period to follow.
• If your match finishes in a draw, you must play a golden cap round to decide the winner. Please reset the config and play a 5 minute golden cap round. The first team to cap in this round, wins. If neither team caps within 5 minutes, the team that holds cp3 at the end of the 5 minute period wins.

Good luck to all teams! :)

See you tomorrow night for the cup! It starts at 20CEST.

Super sunday

Season 7 reaches its dramatic conclusion tonight with the Division 1 title race still wide open. Five-time and reigning champs Team Dignitas currently sit atop the division with 33 points, but I Don’t Know? on 30 points and TCM-Gaming on 29 points both have two maps to play tonight.

I Don’t Know? control their own destiny: two map wins tonight against FakkelBrigade guarantees them first place.

TCM will be hoping that FakkelBrigade manage to at least draw on Gorge, like they did versus Dignitas, which would mean that the door would be wide open for them to take first place by beating The Last Resort over two maps, which will be played at the same time as I Don’t Know?’s fixture.

If TCM only manage four points and I Don’t Know? just squeeze three out of FakkelBrigade, that’d set up a three way tie for first place between the teams and Dignitas.

Division 2B up for grabs

Rockit and Mister go head-to-head tomorrow night for the Division 2B title and rights to automatic Division 1 promotion in their final game of the season. Both teams share identical records – 8 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss for 25 points – and will have to work hard if they want to take the division title from the other team.

Following Mister’s stunning ESH performance last night (including a 5-0 Gullywash win against Broder and a 7-3 Granary finals victory against DIS’ BE), Rockit will be counting on their Division 1 pedigree players to carry them through.

Both teams will also be aware of third place infernal Gamers, who sit just three points behind them. Infernal Gamers have one game left against fourth place Blame.
