[BoA2] Tournament Overview

Announcement | Registration (closed) | Handbook | Questions & Answers | Maps | Brackets | Discord

Redbull Wololo is over and what a fantastic event that was. We got to experience some incredibly impressive performances from everyone in a brand new game mode - an absolutely wild and, dare I say, unexpected grand final. Fortunately for all of us, Battle of Africa 2 is just around the corner, so you won't have to wait long to get your next high-level gameplay fix. With Hera and Liereyy playing for Aftermath, TheViper playing for Team Secret and the incredible Mr_Yo playing for the new YinYang team, I think it's safe to say that we will get to experience a lot more amazing games very soon. With the expanded qualifiers, the timeframe is looking slightly different, essentially adding another week of great content to the event.

All the games are to be streamed on MembTV in the upcoming weekends throughout May and June starting 13.00 GMT.
The Grand Final will begin 14.00 GMT instead of 13.00 GMT.

Participants
The incredible teams competing for the 20.000$ prize pool has been seeded and divided into the two qualification stages. The sixteen lowest seed teams will be battling to earn a spot in the main qualification stage where they will have to face up against the eight highest seeded teams. From there, they will be divided into the Main Event and the Gold League as shown above.

Looks like group of death is possible: Secret, Suomi, Herecy, YinYang (SY). Its good the format of the tournament has three teams progress from each group.

 

[Kitahuri]

Nice

In the team line up sheet, TatoH is listed twice for Secret but it is missing the princess.

yeah sorry i was a little bit lazy with the sort algorithm, when they have the same elo it just shows one player twice. If this is for longer than a day (like ganji who doesnt play 1v1s it seems) i will edit it accordingly. Just tell me if that keeps happening

Yeah that group might have 4 of the top 5 teams imo, not sure the 2-4-6-8/1-3-5-7 system is fair but too late now I guess. At least we could see a pre-qualifer actually making the top 6 (Rulers of Rome is my pick).

 

[Lanchi]

I still remember the “group of death” of Doubles Age in the end got 2nd & 4th and another group got 1st & 3rd, so who knows!

[Skittle]

[LeoMontero]

Its 13GMT?? in my aoezone says 10 and then GMT-3, so i think it was 10 GMT. But if it is 13 GMT is perfect. My mistake

Hey,
In general there will be sign up threads on aoezone, where you post your sign up info. For this tournament the sign up period has already ended though.
We already had 2 weekends of qualifiers

 

[SuperskinnyBLS]

Karma for saving their best player until the final. Secret, better use Nili or you will get eliminated in the group stage.

 

[dnzdalgic]

Disaster seeding and disaster groups. Its so much unfair to Group A teams. All teams are so good there its just pity one of them wont advance. Total disaster really.

Well, what you can do when vivi team failed.

Otherwise groups would be
