OW Season 2 - Playoffs Round 1: Volskaya Industries + Nepal (TB)

Wed, Nov 23, 2016 by snowblindfrog

PLAYOFFS WEEK 1

Once again, congrats to the teams that made it this far. Especially to the teams that finished in the Top 8 in North America. These teams will be competing to win $500 at the end of this tournament! Please read the news post below very carefully so that there is no confusion going into playoffs. Schedules and playoff brackets can be found here.

Round 1 map: Volskaya Industries (played in Mirror Mode) - This means 2 full playthroughs of the map (compared to our normal 1 playthrough). Each team will get at least 2 chances to Attack and 2 chances to defend. Teams will alternate who gets to attack first in each playthrough. The Home team has choice whether to attack first or defend first in the first playthrough. At the end of each playthrough, whichever team has won will receive 1 match point. If after 2 playthroughs the match is tied 1-1, proceed to the tie breaker map.

Tie breaker map (if needed): Nepal (played with CONTROL GAME MODE FORMAT = BEST OF 1) - Whichever team wins this map will receive 1 additional match point.

Possible match scores: 2-0 or 2-1

Match date and deadline: Round 1 of playoffs will begin on Thursday Dec 1st at the default time. Teams are allowed to reschedule the match to before or after this date but all matches must be completed and reported by Saturday December 3rd at the very latest. The next round of matches will take place on Sunday Dec 4th and so it is imperative that you play your matches on time during playoffs. Failure to submit your match by the deadline will result in both teams being kicked out of the playoffs. As always, use the Match Comm panel to document any rescheduling that occurs so that Admins are aware.

 

Example Match for Round 1:
a.) Volskaya 1st playthrough: Team A chooses to attack first and caps both points. Team B attacks next and only caps first point. Team A gets 1 match point.
b.) Volskaya 2nd playthrough: Team B gets to attack first and caps both points. Team A attacks next and only caps first point. Team B gets 1 match point. Match is tied 1-1. Proceed to tie breaker.
c.) Nepal tie breaker (BO1): Team B wins the round and receives 1 match point. Team B has won the match 2-1.
