EQL 21 signups open!

The signups are now open for the 21st EQL season. Gather your mates and be a part of QW history!

The first big QW tournament of 2016 is here. As usual there will be one or more divisions followed by playoffs that will include everyone.



If we get less then 16 teams there will be one large division with A, B and C playoffs just like last season. With 16 or more clans there will be 2 divisions with a playoff setup aimed at making it competetive and exciting for all clans and reduce the really uneven games to a minimum, something that is hard to do in the groupstage but a little easier in the playoffs.



The difference this season is the fact that all clans that sign up get to vote on the map pool. When you sign up you will be asked to vote on your preferred map pool.



The options are:

TB3: DM2, DM3, E1M2

Large: DM2, DM3, E1M2, CMT1b, CMT3, CMT4



If TB3 wins then everything will be like last season with group games being BO3 and playoffs being BO5.



If Large wins then the group games will still be BO3 but if the score is 1-1 the decider will be TB3. If the first two maps was TB3 maps then the decider will be the remaining TB3 map. If one or two of the first two maps wasn't TB3 then the decider will be picked after the teams have tossed one TB3 map each. In this situation the same map can be played twice if it was played already but didnt get tossed.



The playoff BO5 games will work like this: First the 3 TB3 maps will be played and if the score is 2-1 the clan with 1 win will pick from the remaining 3 maps in the pool, if the score is then 2-2 the clan who had the 2-1 lead will pick the last map from the remaining 2 maps in the pool.
