Your host will be Catspaw make sure to tune in at http://www.twitch.tv/iccupbwtv. There will be more casts in time, so its greatly appreciated if players give me some suggestions about their best games from the tour. Crazy, macro or cheese, the only important thing is the fun factor. If you dont have iccup or TL account tell your captain to pm me here, on iccup or in the skype team leaders group. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Mifg5Uc.png) Not without difficulties the first season of the ICCup Nation League revival is getting close to its conclusion. In the first part of season USA had to merge with Canada due to lack of players, Scandinavia and Chile got disbanded for inactivity, in the second part the most active and populated countries Russia and Poland made a second team and the League could progress in a good way. After 18 weeks of intense battles, unexpected upsets and great games we have to say the first season has been positive and the best is yet to come. Playoffs will kick off to determine the truly greatest Nation in the competitive foreign Broodwar scene. Four teams have qualified and will duke it for the crown: ![[image loading]](http://iccup.com/templates/images/flags/pl.gif) POLAND![[image loading]](http://iccup.com/templates/images/flags/ru.gif) RUSSIA![[image loading]](http://iccup.com/templates/images/flags/--.gif) WORLD UNION![[image loading]](http://iccup.com/templates/images/flags/de.gif) GERMANYSo without further ado, let’s look at the calendar for playoffs first. After the regular season ends, a pause of one week is granted before the grand final! ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/aRJHc7O.png) Quarterfinals: • Q2: WORLD UNION vs GERMANY — Saturday 20.08.2016, 19:00 CEST- winner is seeded into Semifinals, loser is eliminated. • Q1: POLAND vs RUSSIA — Sunday 21.08.2016, 19:00 CEST- winner advances to Finals, loser is seeded into Semifinals. Semifinals: • S: winner(Q2) vs loser(Q1) — Sunday 28.08.2016, 19:00 CEST - winner advances to Finals, loser gets 3rd place. Finals: • Winner(Q1) vs Winner(S) — Sunday 04.09.2016, 19:00 CEST - winner get 1st place, loser 2nd place. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/QHKhtV1.png) The core format remains untouched for playoffs, however there’s a tweak or two. In order to keep the schedule intact and provide a better viewing experience, there will be no wildcards, thus NO POSTPONED matches for the playoffs. That means, if a team fails to provide enough players, it will be penalized with a tech loss for unplayed matches. In Order to make sure, teams don’t recruit players explicitly for the playoffs, only players who has played at least one match throughout the regular season are eligible to play. Since these teams started to play by the second half of season and many players were signed in the main, the players from POL-B and RUS-alfa are allowed to play the playoffs for Poland and Russia respectively. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/16lOVUT.png) For the playoffs the rules are a bit restricted: starting maps cannot be changed in agreement and categorically no double maps for the same match (you must change maps at every game). STARTING MAPS Quarterfinals: 1v1 | iCCup | Circuit Breaker 1.0 2v2 | iCCup | Grand Line 2.2 Semifinals: 1v1 | iCCup | Sniper Ridge 2.0 2v2 | iCCup | Latin Quarter 1.0 Finals: 1v1 | iCCup | Fighting Spirit 1.3 2v2 | iCCup | Python 1.3 ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/wbHjvDG.png) To avoid spoilers the playoffs will be played without bracket support, the replays must be submitted to bbnbc@abv.bg at the end of every single game. Self stream is forbidden and punished as described in the broadcast info, the same for chat spoiling using any platform. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Nb4Hnjf.png) All broadcasts start at 20:00 CEST of the gaming day. Coverage will be provided exclusively through our official broadcast www.twitch.tv/iccupbwtv in english language and via our selected partner stream in Russian language. Players and third party streamers are prohibited from streaming games. Teams who broadcast games anyway or allow third parties to do so will be penalized with a tech loss. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/KHg5pp5.png) Thanks to our sponsor www.esports-betting.pro and the generous contributions of the community, the prize pool for the first Season of ICCup nation League has increased to $1060 ![[image loading]](http://i66.fastpic.ru/big/2014/0722/ad/c5e0031281b6fcec688dbee1ad1e81ad.png) 1st Place: 50%![[image loading]](http://i67.fastpic.ru/big/2014/0722/68/04e30c339a116e5030a84c11507e4068.png) 2nd Place: 30%![[image loading]](http://i65.fastpic.ru/big/2014/0722/be/b51dfc60563719a03de0b0ea29ce7fbe.png) 3rd Place: 20%Keep in mind, the prize pool can still increase and donations are graciously accepted! ![[image loading]](http://img4.hostingpics.net/pics/948932paypalbutton.png) Text by iCCup.Cele | ||

1v1 | iCCup | Python 1.3 2v2 | iCCup | Fighting Spirit 1.3 I think that should be different. Python is great 2v2 map, and FS is well balanced for 1v1 | ||
