The first stage of the tournament will start on the 13th of August, from there on each team fights one match a week during for a period of 3-4 weeks, after this 8 teams will be selected for the following stage. this next stage is the knockout stage, this stage will last for another 3 weeks, note that ties are no longer possible during this stage. with tiebreaker rounds being played after the 16 rounds if necessary.
Each week of the tournament, two maps will be picked by the event team, all matches must be played on these two maps, out of these maps one map will be a 'closed' map and the other will be an 'open' map.
More info on the groups will be coming soon
we are also still looking for more referees and people interested in streaming.
as a final note, the 5 clan rule can be stretched (to 7) during a match if a referee agrees with it, i do not expect this to happen often as teams should be able to pick a time where most of them can be present.
Servers NC_cRPG_1 NC_cRPG_2 NC_cRPG_3 are now up, the map rotation will be uploaded to it soon so that teams can test the maps if necessary.
