Quarterfinals - Hera+Liereyy+Heartt vs ACCM+Badboy

[LidaKor]

Welcome @Hera_ and @ACCM !

This will be your scheduling post for the Quarterfinals of Empire Wars Duo. Deadline to play this round is Friday, 11th September (since semis are on saturday and finals on sunday). Please try to avoid the wednesday 18-21GMT timeframe if possible

IMPORTANT: Some maps are fixed position (e.g. Cape of Storms), so it is very important to have the colours set as follows: one of the teams going red+yellow, the other one going green+blue. The lower seeded team (check https://challonge.com/EmpireWarsDuo/ ) can select which two colours they want.

On Cape of storms, the two pocket players are yellow and green.

Please try to confirm the scheduled time 24 hours before the planned start of the series

Once you are done with the map&civ draft, please post it in here. List of maps: https://www.aoezone.net/threads/maps.168094/
