"The Cogs" Week 8/Week 9 - Update

[Swallox]

Alright! This is another informal post, to let you guys know what's going on.

Yes, you read that right. Week 9. The Finale is going to be spread over two weeks.


Week 8 will feature the qualifiers: A round-robin event, styled in a similar manner to the Fjords tournament. The number of group stages will depend on the number of additional teams that sign up to play in the Finale.

Week 9 will be the Finals. This is the tournament stage of the Finale.


Specifics are under wraps because they depend on the number of teams participating. More info will be put out just after Week 7. The details will be locked in when the signups end, three days before Week 8.

Secrecy is over though. Got questions? Ask 'em here, rather than in Steam or Skype.

Hello Swallow.

Quick question, will the top 4 people be playing in week 8 as well or is that only for those who sign up outside of cogs or who are not in top 4?

The top 4 teams won't be participating in Week 8. It's also important to note that none of the top 4 teams are required to participate in the finale tournament. They can renounce their seed and not play at all.

Thank you!
And the Gents will not give up a fight before it starts!

So will this run at 4pm as usual?

Yep. From 4 onwards. The aim is to make sure that Week 8 doesn't last more than two hours, but with the current rate of signups I doubt time'll be an issue.
