Now that the final edition of Nili's Apartment Cup is close to arrive, I thought I'd put all the information in one thread and look at how players performed in previous editions. NAC V will boost a prizepool of 50k$ and will start on Saturday the 6th of January. It will start with a Swiss system, where players will play 5 rounds of best of 5s against each other to battle for better placements in the playoffs.
The 2 best performing players will start in the semifinal, while the 3rd and 4th best will start at the round of 6 and the 5th to 8th place will start in the round of 8 as shown in this bracket from Liquipedia. Finally, the last 2 players from the Swiss stage will be eliminated from the tournament.
The players who will be playing in NAC V are:
Hera (NAC3: 2nd, NAC4: 1st)
Liereyy (NAC1: 2nd, NAC2: 3rd/4th, NAC3: 5th/6th, NAC4: 2nd)
TheViper (NAC1: 1st, NAC2: 1st, NAC3: 1st, NAC4: 3rd/4th)
Yo (NAC3: 3rd/4th, NAC4: 3rd/4th)
ACCM (NAC4: 9th/10th)
Hearttt
TaToH (NAC1: 4th, NAC2: 2nd, NAC3: 3rd/4th, NAC4: 5th/6th)
DauT (NAC1: 6th, NAC2: 5th/6th, NAC3: 7-9th)
FreakinAndy
JorDan_AoE (NAC1: 5th, NAC2: 7th/8th, NAC4: 9th/10th)
There will be 2 players coming to their first NAC (Hearttt and FreakinAndy) and 3 people who have attended every edition (TheViper, Liereyy and TaToH).
One of the biggest changes with this edition of NAC is that the mappool consists of a lot of different maps (21 in total) and that the civilization draft will randomly ban 12 civilizations, thus making each civilization pool different for every set.
The group stage will run from 6th-10th of January starting at 12 GMT each day. The first two rounds of the play-offs will be at 16 GMT on the 11th and 12th, while the semifinals will start at 15 GMT on the 13th. The event will come to a conclusion on Sunday the 14th with a showmatch at 14 GMT and the finals will start at 17 GMT.
You can follow the event live on Nili's Twitch
