The playoffs have begun, and any official notices needed to guide the playoffs to their conclusion will be posted here.
Posted 2022-02-26 -- notice to Prestige and Hellenism
Per Hellenism's request we have disregarded the first 2 of the 7 games they played with Epic Clan. This has shifted the brackets, so as it stands now, to decide 3rd place, Prestige and Hellenism will need to play each other.
If you need more time, just let us know and we can extend the playoffs.
Posted 2022-02-19 -- notice to Hellenism and Epic Clan
We notice you have played more games than required for the best-of-5 series. You have actually played 7 games during these playoffs. Technically, since Hellenism won the first 3 games in a row, you could have stopped there, as there was no need at that point to play games 4 and 5. There's nothing wrong with doing so if you wanted to, but we are only counting officially the first 5 games. That means Hellenism wins over Epic Clan, 3-2. (Of course even if we did count all 7, Hellenism would still win, except it would be 4-3)
Posted 2022-02-17 -- Backup withdraws, Prestige to play
Based on Yacer's most recent statements we declare that Backup has withdrawn from the playoffs. Prestige will take their place in the bracket.
To Prestige -- if you need more time let us know. If you are able to play your games be Sunday the playoffs will stay on schedule, but since the days lost due to Yacer it would be totally understandable if you needed more time. In that case we can extend the playoffs period. Just let us know.
Posted 2022-02-16 -- notice to Yacer & Backup clan
Your behavior to date has all appearances of trolling the season. Your clan played only 1 qualifying game, and by pure luck ended up making the playoffs. We did not modify the rules to prevent this; we decided to give you the benefit of the doubt, in hopes you would take the playoffs seriously. Now, it appears you are not.
We have reviewed your complaint against Wolf and Paradox. We have also reviewed Wolf's response and reviewed chat logs. We conclude that Wolf & Paradox clan have acted in good faith, trying to play their required matches with you. A little rough language from Wolf is not a sufficient reason to avoid playing them, and, to be fair, your replies to him were far worse than anything Wolf said. In any case, the chats are irrelevant. It appears to us that your real motivation is simply to dodge and delay. Please prove us wrong by playing your matches, so we can all move on.
Backup clan is hereby notified it has until Sunday to complete the best-of-5 series with Paradox. We remind you that the games must be at least 2v2 (1v1 or 1v2 is not allowed), although we prefer 3v3. Also you may only use existing clan members for these games --
recruiting for the playoffs is not allowed. If you do not play your matches, we will disqualify you and put the 5th place clan (Prestige) in your place.
