Groups and more details
Now the ESL Premiership Season II is close. Closer than close. It will begin pretty soon and in this news you will find the group drawings and some other details about maps and dates.


First of all we have to explain the date issues to you. As the STC5 Final is on 26th of October we decided to delay the beginning of the ESL Premiership Season II. Normally we wanted to play the Relegations for the Third League 2nd teams from last season, but as one team signed in tonight we don't need them. Now you have some spare time to train the maps a bit more.

The ESL Premiership Season II will start at the 2nd of November

We come to this date because we have a good brake between groupstage and playoffs now, called: Christmas and New Year Brake. The 7th and last playday of the groupstage will be on the 14th of December. The Playoffs and Relegations will be in the new year.

To be fair we do not draw out the maps now. We will give you the maps for each match one week before the season starts on 25th of October. Of course you can train all the seven maps which are played.
You can download them from the release news.
You can also train them on the official ESL train server sponsored by RedLine-Prod.com. Just click here to join.

New teams

Wildcards

There is only one possibility to join the Premiership: With the Team Rounds Ladder. Well there was just one possibility. We decided to design another one. Pretty good teams are able to join the Second League of the ESL Premiership directly by wildcard. This season we decided to give the following four teams a wildcard to join the ESL Premiership Season II Second League.



Bad Boys

UBIteam

eSuba

Formula Fight

Team Rounds Ladder climber

There were hard fights until the end. All in all 16 teams are able to join the Premiership Season II Third League now. They were the best and we can see: Just 2 matches won were enough to join. Therefore we decided not to change the Qualification System for the next season until now. Here the final ranking:


Group Drawing


And now the group drawing live from my room:



I am sorry if you can read some names not that good. The 490mb file was just too big, so I had to convert it a bit down to 39mb, which reduces the quality. Here you have the groups again. I think they will have great fights and we will see an interesting season.

The times are wrong at the moment its 20:00 as default match time, not 19:00. Also the movement details are not correct. Will be fixed on Monday.

10.2.2. Match week
A match week starts friday 20:00 CET and ends saturdays 20:00 CET in the following week. Within this period of time the specific match can be played. Each team has to compete in one match per week based on a fixed playing schedule.
"

Example for the first playday:
- Default Matchtime is Sunday 2nd of November 20:00
- You can move up to 2 day forward ( so you can play from friday 20:00 on )
- You can move 6 days backwards (so you can play until Saturday 20:00
--> Overall there are 8 days you can play on.

That you have each week

yeah i am really disappointed that the esl only supports the good teams :(
you changed a rule i think and the rule says that every team has to qualify for the premiership... via team rounds ladder...:/

Zitat dd
There is only one possibility to join the Premiership: With the Team Rounds Ladder.
now let's all have a nice 2nd premiership
because we can't change anything anymore ;)

Congratz, only a minor comment:

The group drawing should take into accout the nation of a team. to try to avoid situations like Group A and B, mainly french and portuguese teams.

But there is the advantage to have better internet connections this way ;)

GL HF all teams

Because your team didn't qualified through the team rounds ladder. You didn't play a single match.
