[ram0n]

Hey guys! I would like to invite you all to the SuperLeAGE of Africa, an amateur 3vs3 tournament, inspired by Battle of Africa 2, which was hosted by MembTV, and whose maps were created by Chrazini. Authorization has already been granted by both of them.

Each team may have 2 subs. Only signed-up players will be able to compete.

We aim to have 32 teams. There will be eight groups of 4 teams (round-robin). Top 2 of each group will move to Round of 16. Subject to changes according to the number of teams.

BoA2.Arabia will be the starting map in every series. The following map will be chosen by the loser team.

Matchday protocol:

1- Home-Map selection: Each team have to choose their home-map. The team with the highest ELO seed, goes first.
2 - Draft: The higher seeded team will host the civilization draft, using our official pre-set https://aoe2cm.net/preset/OhVMw.
3- In-between-games-break: If a team exceeds the 15 minutes mark between games, admin loss can be requested.
Map pack:. https://www.ageofempires.com/mods/details/14302

Map List:

• Arabia
• African Waters
• Beach-fight
• Canyon Lake
• Colosseum
• Desert Slope
• Donut
• Grand Bara
• Not Socotra.
  

Draft: You must use the following pre-set: https://aoe2cm.net/preset/OhVMw

- 1 initial ban for each team.
- Each team will pick 10 civilizations, in turns. Each civ can be chosen 1 time, by 1 team only, through the whole series.
- Once the picking phase is ended, each team will snipe one of their rival’s civs.

Admin RE: A player can request bugged map restarts during the first 2 minutes (game time). You will have to pause the game, and send the screenshot to a mod.

A bugged map is defined as the following:
Gold: Less than 5 tiles of the main gold cluster are at least accessible on one side, extra golds are excluded.
Stone: Less than 4 tiles of a stone cluster are at least accessible on one side, extra stones are excluded.
Berries: Less than 4 tiles of a berry cluster are at least accessible on one side.
If any Villagers or the scout are unable to move or gather resources. If a vil is trapped in a resource patch but can still gather resources it is not bugged. If you have any questions please pause, and ask an admin.

Drops: In case of drops, games should be restored - if possible.

Seeding: It will be done according to Timezones and ELO, to ease the timings coordination and foster competitiveness.

Open Streaming: Anyone can either stream their games or cast.

Patch: We will be using ALWAYS the ongoing patch, unless it is buggy and makes it impossible to play the game. In case there is a new patch during the course of the tourney, we will start using it.

I hope that everyone that is interested can either play or watch the tourney.

Whatever sounds odd, do not hesitate in asking.
