Which team will reign victorious in the last match of the season?

Official Playoff Brackets

NA Platinum is featuring a new Pick/Ban System for choosing maps for the Grand Finals BO3.
Final Matches are played Best of 3 Maps ( with each map played as 1 half only)

  1. High seed bans 1st map     (8 choices)
  2. Low seed bans 2nd map     (7 choices)
  3. High seed picks Map #1     (6 choices)
  4. Low seed picks Map #2     (5 choices)
  5. Low seed bans 3rd map     (4 choices)
  6. High seed picks Map #3     (3 choices)

Once a map is picked, it can't be picked again.
If a second Grand Finals BO3 match needs to be played, then the map Pick/Ban System will be used again.
Map choices must be made in Match Comms and will be reviewed by a Head Admin.

Remember that during the Grand Finals - Best of 3 we play each map a little differently than we did during the regular season. Please read below.

  1. KOTH Maps - Played to 3 wins. This map type cannot be tied.
  2. CP Maps - Played to 4 wins or highest score after 30 minutes.­­This map type can be tied after 30 minutes. If this occurs then you MUST play 1 additional Overtime round to determine the winner of the map. Whichever team caps all the points first in the OT round will be declared the winner of that map. ­If neither team manages to capture all points during the first OT round, a second special OT round is to be played. In this round, whichever team caps the center CP first wins the game. Note: This ONLY occurs if a 2nd OT round is actually needed.
  3. Payload and Attack/Defend Maps - Played as ­1 half (i.e. each team attacks and defends once).­ These map types cannot be tied. Optional: Teams may agree to play Payload/AD like a normal match instead of just 1 half, but both must post their agreement in Match Comms prior to match.
  • Only maps played in regular season or playoffs of the current season can be picked.

Scoring:

  • Each map win counts as 1 point
  • Possible scores are: 2-1 or 2-0
  • Please post the map list you played and the scores per map in the Match Writeup box when you submit the scores.
  • Matches without Match Comms and Match Writeup with detailed map scores (and maps played) will not be accepted!
Map choices must be made and posted to the Match Comms by 11:59 PM (your local time zone)­ on Saturday April 9th.
Teams cannot agree on map changes after Saturday. Once maps have been picked and banned they are considered to be locked-in!


GOOD LUCK TO ALL TEAMS!
