Double Cup 2: Schedule for LB Final and Grand Final

[Huehuecoyotl22]

@Ator (Grand Final)
@BacT (Losers Bracket Final) (Potentially Grand Final)
@ACCM vs. @Jordan_23 (Potentially Losers Bracket Final) (Potentially Grand Final)

Dear remaining participants,

Next week's weekend (October 30, 31) will be occupied with KotD 4 qualifiers and in general we are aiming to finish Double Cup 2 before the end of October.

ACCM and JorDan will play the Losers Bracket semifinal Friday (22) at 07:00 GMT.
So then only the Losers Bracket Final (Bo7) and Grand Final (Bo9, with 1:0 for WB Final winner) remain to be played.
As of now it looks like only the Brazilian Greattt Cup is scheduled for high level AoE 2 for this weekend.

If all of you are available, I would like to schedule the Losers Bracket Final and Grand Final for the 4 days of
Friday (22) to Monday (25), ideally with the Grand Final on Sunday with good times for viewers, e. g. starting not before ~14 GMT.

Please let me know whether you would be available as soon as possible.

I think makes sense to play LB Finals on Saturday and Grand Final on Sunday.

I could play Sunday anytime

Yes, if all players are available on those days. For sure not both on one day.

Hope you'll do fine. Many people have some symptoms like a common cold and you shouldn't do sports for some days, but playing could work. Just update us during the day tomorrow and Saturday.

@Jordan_23 @Ator @BacT
Since JorDan won against ACCM, but won't be available before ~18 GMT on Saturday/Sunday and that is too late for BacT, we have to do the Losers Bracket Final and Grand Final on Monday-Wednesday.
Therefore, I propose:

Losers Bracket Final:
Monday, October 25, starting at 14 or 15 GMT.

Grand Final:
Wednesday, October 27, start depending on players, ideally 15+ GMT.

Is it possible to play the games on Monday 12 GMT @BacT @Huehuecoyotl22?

 

[Huehuecoyotl22]

12 GMT

If it is impossible later, we have to do it.
However, for some casters who showed interest in covering it (e. g. Nova, Lidakor) are GMT -3/4 and even for European viewers starting at 1-2 pm is not ideal.
For most of the sets I was fine with having series played at any time players wish, but Winners/Loser Bracket Final and Grand Final should be directed a bit more towards casters and viewers; that's why weekend would have been much better too.

I confirm Wednesday 15 gmt for Grand Finals

 

[Jordan_23]

Ok so 13-14 GMT is possible for me on Monday (could do it even later).
Wednesday 15 GMT would also work for me if I was to advance.
