Map Pool

The map pool for Season 33 will consist of the same maps played in the previous season, with cp_prolands making a comeback with the rc2t version, featured at Copenhagen Games 2019! Alongside that we have chosen cp_metalworks as the final addition to the map pool! Also koth_product has received an update and will be using the rcx version from now on.

However with this many maps in the rotation it forces some maps to be played only once in the season, with majority of them still getting played twice as usual.

Map Pool

• cp_granary_pro_rc8
• cp_gullywash_final1
• cp_logjam_rc10a
• cp_metalworks ¹
• cp_process_final
• cp_prolands_rc2t ²
• cp_snakewater_final1
• cp_sunshine
• koth_product_rcx ²

¹ Addition to the map pool for S33
² Updated map version

Map Rotation

• Week 1: cp_granary_pro_rc8 & cp_gullywash_final1
• Week 2: cp_gullywash_final1 & koth_product_rcx
• Week 3: koth_product_rcx & cp_sunshine
• Week 4: cp_logjam_rc10a & cp_process_final
• Week 5: cp_process_final & cp_metalworks

The fixtures for the Season 33 Preseason Cup are now released! The fixtures and tables can be seen within the competition tab in the ribbon. cp_mist received an update to rc1d and thus the cup will make use of this updated version.

If you can’t find your team in the tables it means that you are in the waiting list in reserve, this means there were not enough teams to make an additional group in your requested tier. In the case of a team dropping out of the cup, a team from the waiting list may take their spot.

• Group stage round 1: May 16th 19:00 CEST – cp_kalinka_rc5
• Group stage round 2: May 16th 20:00 CEST – cp_metalworks
• Group stage round 3: May 16th 21:00 CEST – cp_mist_rc1d

All maps in the group stage will be played as a best-of-one. If the score is tied after the regular map time is over then a 15 minute golden cap must be played, if neither teams manage to get a round in this time then the team to hold middle point will win the golden cap.

In the high groups all teams will advance to the knockout stage, in all other groups the top two of the group will advance.
The knockout stage is single elimination. The same golden cap rules apply as in the group stage.

• Quarter Finals: May 19th 19:00 CEST – BO1, Both teams ban 1 map, remaining map will be played
• Semi-Finals: May 19th 20:00 CEST – BO1, Both teams ban 1 map, remaining map will be played
• Grand Finals: May 19th 21:00 CEST – BO3, Both teams pick which map they want to play first/second, remaining map will be the decider map
