Tiebreaker details and the list of teams advancing to playoffs can be found below. Check out your upcoming playoff fixtures under the Playoffs tab at the top of our website, or find them directly on your team page.

If you find yourself on the list of these teams you are expected to be available. If you fail to provide sufficient information, we will have to decide your match dates for you. Keep in mind that we will try and accommodate both teams, but the match date may still vary from your provided days if for example none of the days match with your opponent’s, but your opponent offered more days than you did. Deadlines listed for the matches are flexible and may be changed in certain situations if admins are contacted about allowing extensions on these.

Playoff Configs

The progressive config is being used for 5cp maps. KOTH will be played as a best-of-5.

• Progressive config: etf2l_6v6_5cp_prog.cfg
• KOTH config: etf2l_6v6_koth.cfg

Progressive Ruleset incorporates this plugin that creates a dynamic win condition. The 5CP round win limit gets reduced to the current highest score +1 when the match timer runs out. For example, if the score is 1-2 when the map timer runs out, the win limit will be set to 3 and round continues.

The specifics of the progressive ruleset playoffs will look like this:

• The map timer for 5CP maps will be 25 minutes.
• The round timer for 5CP maps will be 4 minutes.
• If a team scores a total of 5 rounds before the end of the map timer, they win the map (winlimit 5).
• If neither team has scored a total of 5 rounds once the map timer runs out, the round winlimit is set to the current highest round score +1. The match continues until one team reaches the new round winlimit.

Pick-Ban Format

Both teams need to agree on who eliminates first. If the two teams cannot agree, they need to perform a heavy fist fight. The winner of this heavy fist fight can decide if he wants to start of if the other team should.

Team A bans a map
Team B bans a map
Team B picks a map
Team A picks a map
Team B bans a map
Team A bans a map
The remaining map is the decider

Server Location Rules Reminder

For matches between a European team and non-European team, the server locations rules are the following:

• Map 1: European server
• Map 2: Out-of-region server
• Map 3: European server

Servers should be chosen to be the most favourable for the disadvantaged team. For example, for a match between Germany and USA, reasonable choices would be:

• Map 1: French server
• Map 2: New York server
• Map 3: French server

Unreasonable choices would be:

• Map 1: German server
• Map 2: California server
• Map 3: German server

Teams may deviate from this if both teams agree. For matches between two out-of-region teams, teams are to decide amongst themselves. In the case of a unresolved disagreement, make a League Admin Ticket.
