Elite League Season 5
Posted: Sun 23 Feb, 2020 4:46 pm
Hello and welcome to the Elite League Season 5 !
It has been a while since the last League, last League was going well but we still face the issues with players dropping out when it comes to playoffs. This time the playoffs will have a preset weekend and all players will know when the Group Stage ends and when the playoffs start and end.
I also would like to ask you guys about the draft, I wanted to try a different ban system which will be listed below but the old one will still remain listed there as well so guys can compare. Please give as much Feedback as possible or if you maybe want it tried out in a smaller tourney before this one.
1. When does it start?
29th March is the planned date, it will be played on Patch 2.9.4
18th and 19th April for Playoffs
2. Who can join?
Tier 1 Players only in Division A
Tier 2 Players with at least 500 Hours Playtime in Division B or bottom Tier Tier 1 Players
If you think you belong in another League I will place you try to prove that by playing more ranked games on the ladder so I can watch your gameplay.
Preferably the Players who want to join the League have to play at least 10 ESL matches in the past 2 weeks.
3. What is the format?
1v1 Location: Random Resources: standard VPS: 500
In the group stage it is going to be one BO3 vs each player. The group stage will last for 2 weeks.
After that bottom 6 Players drop out and Top 8 are seeded into the Final Bracket Stage.( also called Playoffs)
4. When does a League game count as one?
- Both players have to use the ESL Reporter.
- Both players type L within the first minute. If an admin is present then 1 player typing L is enough.
- You can only pick one of your 5 chosen heroes during the matches.
5. Maps & hero picks.
Heroes
You can only play your heroes once each match!
Each player has 1 hero veto per match. The veto only lasts for 1 game.
Players who go random dont have to call the hero they get but they lose the right to ban a hero from the opponent.
If a soundbug or other crashes happen the Player has to pick the same Hero he randomed last time again !
Group stage (BO3)
The map is chosen by the random map picker. The same map can only be played once per match.
Each player can veto 1 map during a match. That map is then banned for the rest of the match.
The player on the top bracket is always asked first if he wants to veto if he hasn't yet.
Bans have to be called before the final picks.
Once the map is chosen, the player in the top bracket will have to pick a hero first.
After the first game, the player who won the previous game has to lock into a hero first.
NEW: At the start both players agree on a map they both dont like and it gets sorted out.Than lower Bracket Player bans a map first and after that the Top Bracket Player.
First the shared map gets banned, than before each game a player can ban a map if he still can. After that the map gets roled and the hero bans can go in. Only after that Players lock in their heroes !
Play-offs (BO5)
The first map is set. From game 2 and onwards it's losers pick.
Once the map is chosen, the player in the top bracket will have to pick a hero first.
Hero picks then keep alternating between player regardless of who won.
Bans have to be called before the final picks.
NEW suggested format: Stays the same besides that both players can ban a extra map they don't want to see in the series at the start.
6. Punishment for not playing/delaying to much.
Each Player needs to play his week set BO3 matches each week to not slow down the progress. You will always have fixed opponents for every week.
You can delay one match to the next week but then you have to play one of your next week matches that week instead. You also get a penalty for doing it for one match the second match onwards gives you 3 Penalty points.( With 10 you are Dqed and not allowed to play in the next Season as well)
Please inform the admins beforehand if you are not able to play on certain days.
If a player didn't warn an admin or the opponent that he is not able to play then he gets 3 days to play it or else he will get an auto loss.
You can postpone a BO3 if you agree with your opponent to a different date.
