Introduction
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:
POLAND
RUSSIA
WORLD UNION
GERMANY
So 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!
Schedule
• 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.
Casts will begin one hour after the tournament start - 20:00 CEST
Format
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).
