EQL 21 signups open

2016-01-26 09:03 by Hooraytio

The signups are now open for the 21st EQL season. Gather your mates and be a part of QW history! Preliminary deadline for signups is February 7th.

The first big QW tournament of 2016 is here. As usual there will be one or more divisions followed by playoffs that will include everyone.

If we get less than 16 teams there will be one large division with A, B and C playoffs just like last season. With 16 or more clans there will be 2 divisions with a playoff setup aimed at making it competetive and exciting for all clans and reduce the really uneven games to a minimum, something that is hard to do in the groupstage but a little easier in the playoffs.

The difference this season is the fact that all clans that sign up get to vote on the map pool. When you sign up you will be asked to vote on your preferred map pool.

The options are:
TB3: DM2, DM3, E1M2
Large: DM2, DM3, E1M2, CMT1b, CMT3, CMT4

If TB3 wins then everything will be like last season with group games being BO3 and playoffs being BO5.

If Large wins then the group games will still be BO3 but if the score is 1-1 the decider will be TB3. If the first two maps was TB3 maps then the decider will be the remaining TB3 map. If one or two of the first two maps wasn't TB3 then the decider will be picked after the teams have tossed one TB3 map each. In this situation the same map can be played twice if it was played already but didnt get tossed.

The playoff BO5 games will work like this: First the 3 TB3 maps will be played and if the score is 2-1 the clan with 1 win will pick from the remaining 3 maps in the pool, if the score is then 2-2 the clan who had the 2-1 lead will pick the last map from the remaining 2 maps in the pool.

Go ahead and sign up!

I am also open for map suggestions, they are not set in stone.
#2 ocoini - 2016-01-26 11:06 (84.208.176.XXX)
Hut hut! :D
#3 ocoini - 2016-01-26 12:08 (84.208.176.XXX)
If Large wins - I have slight objection to the map rules. I think I understand why tb3 gets a priority, as you don't want to force Kenya down on people, but yes.. A slight objection - that won't have any effect on us playing or not playing ;)

But I suppose the better clans should have more say in this, if they believe it would be harder to maintain interest for them for more kenya.

(sorry, don't want to start map debate, the pool is fine for me!)
#4 Hooraytio - 2016-01-26 12:23 (85.228.253.XXX)
Only reason for adding some more maps is that it can be fun to play some other maps. When it comes down to the competetive part i think TB3 should get priority.

I dont think new maps will affect any other factor than the fun part. (Like getting new players to start with qw and all that other nonsense that has been debated for a decade or so)
#5 ocoini - 2016-01-26 12:43 (84.208.176.XXX)
It was an elegant solution :p
I was expecting map tossing, but I'm OK with this as well. Just a minor wish not fulfilled, no big deal ;)

And, totally agree that map pools don't have anything to do with attracting new players. But holding them could have a minor effect.
At least with this system I feel like both sides both give and take.
And since the only TB3 side in our scene is pretty big it's understandable.


Vote Large everyone please please ! <3

Ehrmagerd!!!!
#7 andy - 2016-01-26 19:15 (37.201.240.XXX)
I'd at least allow the potential "gentlemen's agreement" on a decider map. It could turn out that both teams prefer to play the decider on the remaining kenya map, for example.
#8 Hooraytio - 2016-01-27 09:26 (85.228.253.XXX)
Good idea andy
#9 kapo - 2016-01-29 08:50 (195.148.33.XXX)
qw still going on strong! great job everyone :)
#10 Hooraytio - 2016-01-29 10:02 (85.228.253.XXX)
Come and play with us kapo!
#11 nelag - 2016-02-01 17:54 (194.15.212.XXX)
what's the standing between tb3 and kenya?
#12 Hooraytio - 2016-02-02 08:25 (85.228.253.XXX)
Close shave
#13 The_Lame_Dane - 2016-02-02 11:39 (62.92.159.XXX)
Just a question: Are teams always this late signing up? You got 8 teams; 3 from div99 and 2 from 020. So actually you got 5 clans? :/
#14 Hooraytio - 2016-02-02 15:30 (85.228.253.XXX)
With only 1 or 2 exceptions the number of clans has been declining each season. For reasons.

I havent really measured how fast they have signed up in the past so i dont know if they are slower than usual.
#15 The_Lame_Dane - 2016-02-03 10:53 (62.92.159.XXX)
What reasons? :-|
#16 Hooraytio - 2016-02-03 12:48 (85.228.253.XXX)
Depends on who you ask. The main reason clans dont sign up for EQL is that there are less players and thus less clans around now, there arent really any existing clans that dont sign up for EQL. So, we lack clans because players quit QW. Why did they quit qw?

I think the main reasons ppl have quit QW are:

Age: as some got older the lost interest in gaming.
Life situation: work and/or starting a family took up most of their time.
Other games: games like cs and wow (among a shitload of other games) was more compelling.
Other interests took up their time.

inb4 someone jumps in here and say ppl quit because we didnt play new maps.
#17 nelag - 2016-02-08 01:46 (85.226.186.XXX)
signups closed, what's the verdict on tb3 vs large?
#18 Hooraytio - 2016-02-08 08:27 (85.228.253.XXX)
There will be an update during Monday.
#19 Dööd - 2016-02-08 09:40 (88.115.243.XXX)
No Milton --> No EQL :/
#20 Hooraytio - 2016-02-08 10:29 (85.228.253.XXX)
Lets try and make this a good one anyway!
Milton is still free to join one of the 13 teams.
