Elite League Season 2 with huge Prize money
Posted: Tue 26 Dec, 2017 11:50 pm
First of all I want to thank everyone and the players for the support in the first season. It took slightly longer then expected to finish but we did it.
We had some issues and I am going to address some of them here. We will do our best to make this season more enjoyable!
- Players dropping due to time issues.
Please note that this tournament is going to be quicker in progress than the previous one.
Check first if you have the time to finish the needed amount of games without delaying the progress.
- Players dropping out because they don't feel like playing any more.
Players who drop out like this are banned in the future from this event, unless you have a reasonable excuse.
- Players dodging.
Ignoring opponent several times or setting a date and then not showing up.
1. When does it start?
Patch 2.8.1 (22/07/2018)
2. Who can join?
Tier 1 and tier 2 players can join.
We are working on an separate league for tier 2 and tier 3 players. More info on that soon™.
If this works out the top 3 players from this lower tier league get the chance to advance into the high tier league by beating the bottom 3 players at the end of the group stages in a bo3 match. This will replace the promotion tournament from the first season but it has the same purpose.
3. What is the format?
In the group stage it is going to be one BO3 vs each player in the league. The group stage will last about 4 to 6 weeks.
After that 12 Players will transition in to the play-offs which will be BO5 games in a single elimination tournament, Top 4 get a bye.
Your final position from the group stage will determine where you are seeded.
Position 1 through 4 from the group stage will be put straight into the semi or quarter finals, depending on the amount of players.
4. When does a League game count as one?
- Both players have to use the ESL Reporter.
- Both players type L within the first minute. If an admin is present then 1 player typing L is enough.
- You can only pick one of your 5 chosen heroes during the matches.
5. Maps & hero picks.
General
You can only play your heroes once each match!
Each player has 1 hero veto per match. The veto only lasts for 1 game.
Group stage (BO3)
The map is chosen by the random map picker. The same map can only be played once per match.
Each player can veto 1 map during a match. That map is then banned for the rest of the match.
The player on the top bracket is always asked first if he wants to veto if he hasn't yet.
Once the map is chosen, the player in the top bracket will have to pick a hero first.
After the first game, the player who won previous game has to lock into a hero first.
Play-offs (BO5)
The first map is set. From game 2 and onwards it's losers pick.
Once the map is chosen, the player in the top bracket will have to pick a hero first.
Hero picks then keep alternating between player regardless of who won.
6. Punishment for not playing/delaying to much.
Each Player should play at least 2-3 BO3 matches each week to not slow down the progress. You will always have fixed opponents for every week.
You can delay one match to the next week but then you have to play one of your next week matches that week instead.
Please inform the admins beforehand if you are not able to play on certain days.
If a player didn't warn an admin or the opponent that he is not able to play then he gets 3 days to play it or else he will get an auto loss.
You can postpone a BO3 if you agree with your opponent to a different date.
