"The Cogs" Season 2: Week 0 - Brackets
« on: June 19, 2013, 11:44:51 am »
We're back!

Sorry for the delayed post, I have to get back into the habit of typing these up in advance. Ah well, live and learn.

Welcome to Season 2. Those of you that participated in or spectated Week 8 back during Season 1 will understand what's going on, but for the rest of you, here's how it's gonna work.

Week 0 features two distinct phases to populate the third Cog on the board, the Upcomer's Cog. Six teams, three Season 1 veterans and three newcomer teams, face off within their respective groups for control over one of the five spots on the Upcomer's Cog. So who's playing? Let's take a look.



We start with the Season 1 Seeds. These are the three teams that fought their way into Week 9 but failed to advance to the Semi Finals to claim one of the guaranteed Challenger spots. While all three teams can claim a spot, all three of them are going to want to give it their all and claim the #3a spot... No one wants to end up in #3e or #3d at the very start of the season.

As a sidenote: Merry Northern Storm split into two teams during the break: Merry Men and Northern Air Fleet. A few days ago they faced off to determine which of the two teams could claim the single seed spot that MNS had claimed, and Merry Men came out on top. Congratulations to them, and we hope to see Northern Air Fleet later on during the season.

Joining them in the Season 1 Seeds matches, we'll see The Gentlemen and Black Flight Squadron. Now there's a lineup. But enough of that, let's get to the part that most of you care about. The matches and maps!

Season 1 Seed Games

Game 1: Merry Men vs The Gentlemen
  • Map: Canyon Ambush
Game 2: The Gentlemen vs Black Flight Squadron
  • Map: Duel at Dawn
Game 3: Black Flight Squadron vs Merry Men
  • Map: Paritian Rumble
Game 4: (IF NECESSARY) Lowest kill score vs Second lowest kill score.
  • Map: Duel at Dawn


After this, we'll see the veteran duck team The Raft take on two newcomer teams, Zac's Flying Ghuuu and the Rugged Men for control over one of the remaining two spots. With three teams, we're going to see the first elimination of the season... And it's not gonna be pretty.

Let's take a look at their matches.

Newcomer's Melee

Game 1: The Raft vs Zac's Flying Ghuuu
  • Map: Canyon Ambush
Game 2: Zac's Flying Ghuuu vs Rugged Men
  • Map: Canyon Ambush
Game 3: Rugged Men vs The Raft
  • Map: Northern Fjords
Game 4: (IF NECESSARY) Lowest kill score vs Second lowest kill score.
  • Map: The Labyrinth


That's yer lot for now. Be sure to drop by this Saturday 4pm EST to see all the action kick off between the Cogs veterans and the feisty newcomers.

As the old saying goes: Shit's gonna get intense

See you there, and stay safe.

-Swallow

Swallow, make you sure you use our new logo and colours for the other graphics, please. I don't mind if you leave this one as it is, but just make sure you don't forget for the other ones.

To Sunderland's point, will there be new Merry Men/Northern Air Fleet graphics made? Otherwise it'll get confusing quickly if we keep using Merry Northern Storm. Not sure who usually makes the graphics.

Why does the #1 qualifier for newcomers get 3b? 3c gets to play sooner, so presumably you'd want give that spot to the top-placed team in the round robin. Otherwise it's advantageous to place second in week 0.

No I was dealing with real life and missed the signups. so this  "round robin" week zero tournament is well... imaginary.

Hard to Tip a team with no chance of winning.

I'm being a slight prick. because Swallows "round robin" week zero is an absolute fallacy. on 3 teams? u get 3 games... like every other cogs event....... yawn.
