SEASON 3 - Season has started!

Postby Jamo » Mon Feb 26, 2018 6:26 pm

LTL season 3 has started today. Please make sure to make you and your team familiar with the new rules and start playing your matches from now on!

I want to point out once more, that you are free to play all of your matches whenever you want, but the latest on the last day of the week in which the match is due. Playing earlier is no problem!


In the following, just once more the most important informations:

Season format
Regular season will last 8 weeks followed by two weeks of Playoffs.
    Regular Season : Feb 26th - April 22nd
    Playoffs : April 22nd - May 6th
    Finale(s): May 12th or may 13th

Please remember that regular season matches consist of 3 games in total (all have to be played), whereas Playoffs and the finales will be best of 5 (bo5) matches!

Since we have exactly 8 teams signed up, all teams will be playing the Playoffs! However, a good position in the ranking of the regular season will give you easier opponents in the Playoffs elimination! Note, that your score will only be the number of single games (not matches) you won and penalty points will be subtracted from that to create your final score.

Hosting
Map played will be Legion_TD_Mega_3.43c3.w3x.
Games will be privately hosted through ENT Link at the time agreed. If you have any question/hesitation on how to host a game, look at the wiki. You can also take a look at the bots status for further information. Please make sure to host your games with observers slots in case a moderator or a streamer wishes to join.

When a match is completed, you must post the results in the Match Results thread.

Match schedule & Standings
You can find the match schedule on various platforms. We randomly created it via Challonge. However, you can also find the schedule in our Google Spreadsheet, Google Calendar or Match Plan Thread.

Please make sure to post your match results in the Match Results thread.

Considering the standings, the Google Spreadsheet exclusively is the one to rely on. Unfortunately Challonge is not flexible enough to apply penalty points, so please do not rely on the ranking in Challonge. We try to update the Spreadsheet as quickly as possible, but please be patient with us in rare cases when it takes a few days.

Communication

Discord will be our main communication platform. Make sure to take a look frequently on the LTL channels on ENT's Discord server and to tell other teams about your team's availability. Here are the channels available to you:
    #ltl-news: News will be posted there to reach every team if needed. Team's captains will have to make sure their players are informed of the information shared via this channel.
    #ltl-chat: Use it to chat about anything, or ask things to the staff.
    #ltl-captains: Channel for all captains/co-captains with the purpose of scheduling their matches.

The Forum will however also be used intensively, but mainly with the purpose of gathering information and less fast communication. Please make sure to check the forum regularly as well though!

And now, we wish you happy gaming!

Just to make sure, since I wrote it wrongly in the above announcement:
In all regular season matches all 3 games have to be played! It is not best of 3 mode here.
This is very important for the ranking, since the only thing that counts are the won games (minus penalties).
In the rules, this is written correctly, so if you read those, you are fine ;)

I apologize for the confusion!

Dear LTL Players,
Unfortunately, Team "Underdogs" had to forfeit, since they said they do not have enough people to play the games. That's very unfortunate.
Therefore, for reasons of fairness, I scored each game (past and upsoming) 3-0 for the opponent team.

Additionally, this means that the rank #1 team will be directly qualified for the semi-finals.

Due to the recent developments with the recent Warcraft 3 patch from Blizzard, we will postpone LTL Season 3 by one more week!

Find the full schedule in the Google Spreadsheet or the Match Plan Thread.

Short summary: Play all your games until April 29th!
