INTRODUCTION
The second Nation League season came to the end and hey... playoffs time!
We had less problems this time and we want to thanks all players, expecially the leaders for; a small negative point had been the walkovers given by Russia-B last weeks, fortunately mend up by few good guys. We will try to get it better.
Nordic team had a bad start having zero wins until the last 3 weeks when they owned their opponents hard, if they had help by top scandinavian players they surely would run for the first place, a call for the next time!
Poland and Russia B teams made a good league with notable victories vs America and Peru that had strong line-ups together with Europe.
Congratz to Russia that dominated the season, having zero loses until the last day vs the champions in charge, Poland.
All the four qualified teams have line-ups strong enough to beat eachothers in a single fight, this is exactly what we expected for: playoffs that could give some intersting surprise.
Have fun you all players and followers!

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.
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).
MAPS
We will give the starting maps, then loser pick any (no double maps)
