3pm:

Pure vs. Symphony -- 1303665
StarFire Elite vs. Llamas -- 1303666

4pm:
Cosmic Rift vs. B.I.A. -- 1303667
Outlaws vs. Evil Geniuses -- 1303668

We'll kick off the season next weekend unless we run into technical issues, yay. I'll try to get the schedule done around Tuesday, probably. It's either 8 or 9 teams, sort of kind of depending on:

1) The squads at the moment clearing their double squadding players. Yes, it's legal in pre-season, but if they are integral to their squad it might die when they leave
2) Symphony? They showed up pre-season 1, had none two online last round.

It would pretty much suck to schedule for 9 and a BYE round, then end up with 2 bye rounds for what.. 16 weeks?

And I'd rather not point too many fingers, but not that many squads currently have aliased people on the roster so you can probably figure out which squad is the prime suspect here.

So those of you who are on multiple squads should probably pick one. Thanks.

So we're down to 9 (8) squads, Pure needs more rostered players to be allowed in, the minimum is still 8. Why? To combat no-shows. The season will be more or less interrupted by Christmas and possibly the Superbowelmovement if we play a double round robin, which sort of makes more sense*.



3pm:
BIA vs . Outlaws -- 1303446
Symphony vs. StarFire Elite -- 1303443

4pm:
Cosmic Rift vs. Llamas -- 1303444
Evil Geniuses vs. The Dark -- 1303447

EDIT: fixed dem games

*more games, basically. Rushing into the playoffs to crown more champs out every two months seems silly, also with 7 games they'd all matter a bit too much?

let me know if the quality of the video sucks. been fucking working on this for quite awhile. If it looks ok I will transcode and upload round 3.

game 2 at 4 if the squads want to play it. If they don't, it's at 3pm next week. Game 3 (if necessary) will be next week regardless.

....

Do we have game(s) tomorrow...? I assume games start at 12 noon pacific time, 3pm EST....

Assassins vs. B.I.A. (Assassins leads 1-0 in a best of 3)

The Dark vs. Outlaws (The Dark leads 1-0 in a best of 3)

I assume should game 3's be necessary they will be played directly after the second game in the respective matches listed above....

Can someone set the bot(s) up for these matches?

Assassins vs B.I.A. -- 1301513

AML Finals, game 2: StarFire Elite vs Symphony -- will be scheduled after the first game due to the random chance of automatic calls..

OUTLAWS vs Watchmen 4v4b 1301248

4pm:
B.I.A. vs Llamas 4v4a scheduled if necessary

Regarding AML, we'll go on with this plan unless Peeking has something up his... wing? sleeve? feathers?:
SFE puts forward its proposal for the AML Playoffs format and dates as follows:
a) Best of 3 spread over 2 Sundays if needed.
b) Matches 1 and 2 on 9 August 2015 at 3pm and 4pm; Match 3 if needed on 16 August 2015 at 4pm.

Sincerely,

-- BYE into semis, Sins #1 by K/D in their two games vs TD, grats --

1 Assassins 12-2 104
2 The Dark 12-2 71
-- Quarters, BO3s --
3 OUTLAWS 11-3 61
4 B.I.A. 9-5 19
5 Llamas 4-10 -33
6 Watchmen 4-10 -46
-- AML --
7 Symphony 4-10 -67
8 StarFire Elite 0-14 -109

Llamas +5 on Symph, +4 on Watchmen, +9 total within tied group
Watchmen -4 on Llamas, +3 on Symph, -1 total
Symphony -5 on Llamas, -3 on Watchmen, -8 total so Symphony are officially #7 and thus AML.

All quarters will be BO3 series. 1 game this Sunday, 2 the next. For the first games, Outlaws have the choice (by Friday) between Watchmen and Llamas with the default pick being Watchmen.
BIA will play the other team. Then Assassins get to choose which match-up they want their eventual semi-final opponents from. (before they play a single game)

For AML we can start whenever and play whatever up to a best of ... let's see, 2 games a week for 6 weeks. so 12 games max, best of 11. huehue.
