Improvement Cup V and Improvement Cup VI are two tournaments organized by Chrazini and me.
In the HIGH ELO CUP the champions will get 400$. In the MIDDLE ELO CUP the champions will get 200$.
The maximum combined rating for the high elo tournament will be 4100 elo.
The Viper as 2500 could for example team with a 1600 and join the tournament or a 2400 elo player with a 1700.
The maximum combined rating for the middle elo tournament will be 3700 elo.
Here a 2500 elo player could for example team a 1200 player or a 1900 with an 1800 elo player.
Settings:
In the tournaments you will play 1v1s and 2v2s.
The tournament will start with two 2v2s, followed by four 1v1s (two 1v1s per player). If a decider is needed, the decider will be 2v2.
This means 5 maps maximum per player.
Swiss Stage:
The tournament will run with a swiss system, where u need to win 3 matches to advance to the knockout stage.
U will play 1 series per week.
In the swiss stage u will face only teams with the same record in the tournament as u have.
The teams who will go 3-0 in the swiss stage will play a showmatch vs each other for 100$ in the HIGH ELO CUP and 50$ for the MIDDLE ELO CUP.
Mappool:
There wont be any drafting or banning for the maps. for each round we will give u set maps to play. This way u can prepare for the maps. U just choose who of u will play on which 1v1 map.
We will provide a screenshot/picture for each map in the tournament. (u will find it in the mappool thread)
There will be a mod for the tournament maps.
Civ Draft:
There wont be any civ drafts. We will give u for each 2v2 map 5 civs to choose from and for 1v1 map 3 civs to choose from. (u will find the civs for each map in the civpool thread)
This way u can prepare specific strategies for each map with your prefered civ.
