A big shout out to iRk's Strömkarlen for putting together this graphic for us! She did a great job with it, thanks Ström!

Hey everyone, welcome to the official thread for CPL Season 5!

We've wrapped up preseason, teams have been formed, new friendships beginning, old rivalries renewed and now with larger teams than ever before! That's right this season of CPL features much larger teams, with access to more coaches per team! Teams will go head to head for several weeks before entering the playoffs where eventually we crown a league champion. That said, the league isn't all about the competition, in fact for those of you who don't know the CPL is a league designed for low to mid level players to get coaching from higher level players in a team league format. With no minimum requirements to join it's a great place for all skill levels to get involved in the community and increase their skill, or to give back to StarCraft by helping teach the lower level players and get them into the game. Which team do you think will take it all? Who are you cheering for? Be sure to check out the games and support your friends improvement as we get into CPL Season 5!

If you missed sign-ups you can still get involved by being added to the waitlist. Players on the waitlist will be added to teams on an as-needed-basis as the season goes on.

For more information on the waitlist, or CPL in general you may check out our discord here: https://discord.gg/6QEXQ8d

League Rules and Information

1. All matches must be played by Sunday at 19:00 UTC. (15:00 Eastern Time)

HOWEVER If you're able to prearrange your match ahead of time with your opponent you may play your game as late as Monday at 1:00 UTC (Sunday 21:00 Eastern Time).

If you cannot make your game at this time, please arrange to play against your opponent earlier in the week. We have players all over the world, so please try to be flexible with scheduling your matches. Once both players have agreed on a pre-play timeslot, that game time is binding. Failure to show up at the arranged pre-play time will result in a walkover. If you cannot arrange an agreeable time, then the match is considered to begin at 19:00 UTC (15:00 Eastern Time) on Sunday.

All players who do not pre-arrange a match, please meet in channel CPL on USWest at 19:00 UTC (15:00 Eastern Time) Sunday.

2. Walkover wins will be granted if an opponent is not available within 20 minutes of the scheduled start time.

To avoid a walkover, teams will be allowed to substitute any unused player for a Tier 0 match, any unused player up to Tier 1 for a Tier 1 match, any unused player up to Tier 2 player for a Tier 2 match, and any unused Tier 3 player for a Tier 3 match. Substitutes must play the race that was submitted by their team in the line-up. If you are already playing a match for your team you cannot be used as a substitute. Substitutes can be used for matches that are arranged for pre-play if a player no-shows at the arranged time.

3. All matches will be a 1v1 best-of-3. Line-ups and results must be submitted by 23:00 UTC (19:00 Eastern Time) on Sunday.

Team managers must determine who will be available to play and submit their team line-ups and results before this deadline.
When reporting results - in the case of players playing past the deadline please specify.

Lineups should be reported as follows:

Slots 1 - 2 - Tier 0 (2 players)
Slots 3 - 8 Tier 1 (6 Players)
Slots 9 - 16 Tier 2 (8 Players)
Slots 17 - 21 Tier 3 (5 Players)

21 Players total per team per week

Please note: We will be using "CPL MMR" to match players against each other. What this means is that any individual slot will not be guaranteed to be matched up with the same slot from the opposing team, and instead be matched with an opponent of similar CPL MMR.

Also note: these numbers my be changed during the season to reflect the current status of inactive/active players

Line-ups must be submitted to a Team Admin via discord with the following format for all players:

Playername - Race

Please specify matchups if racepicker!
ex.
Tier 1
lazersnipe - Protoss
iRk-AgGe - ZvT, ZvP, PvZ
Neblime - Terran

Tier 2
Benjy man - ZvT, TvP, PvZ
etc.

Random will not be allowed. There will be no option to change matchups between maps in a given week.

Note: We may change the number of matches per tier per week based on player participation.

4. The map pool will rotate from the set of 8 maps.

Each week a set of 3 maps will be chosen from the Map Pool. Each player will play in order on the listed maps (the 3rd map is only played if the series is tied 1-1 after 2 games). The CPL season 5 Map Pool includes:

(4) Clay Fields, Eddy, Fighting Spirit
(3) Neo Sylphid, Tau Cross
(2) Neo Bloody Ridge, Match Point, Overwatch

A zip file of all the CPL maps may be downloaded under #s5-rules on the CPL Discord.

5. The league will run for 9 weeks.

Each team will play every other team 3 times. After the 9 weeks are complete, we will enter into the CPL playoffs and onto the Grand Finals!

6. All results must be submitted with all game replays.

The team Admins for the winning team must submit the results each week. All teams should upload their replays to the appropriate team google drive. Replays are to be saved to each team's google drive with the following format:

Tier# Playername v Playername Set#

7. Standard ICCUP competitive rules apply.
