"The Cogs" Week 8 - Brackets

(1/5) > >>

Swallox:
Alright! Looks like it's that time again. We're approaching the Finale fast, but how're things going to go down? First up, I have to say that I really didn't plan for five teams... And it's made things more than a little complicated, so blarg to all of you.

In Week 8, we're going to see two group stages featuring the five teams fast enough to sign up to the action. The teams have been randomly assigned into the groups... So who ended up with who? Let's take a look.



In Group A, we see The Brood, Black Flight Squadron and newcomers Destructoid set against one another in a classic three-team round robin. Each team will play against the other once and their victories will be scored. The two teams with the most victories will advance. In the event of a three-way tie, the two teams with the least number of ship kills will face off in a last-ditch attempt to qualify. In the event of a three-way ship-kill tie, I will cry.

Group B are in a far worse situation though. Due to the unfortunate number of participants, Group B only consists of The Raft and The Pastafarians. With so much on the line for both teams, there can be only one. It'll all come down to a single game to determine who advances... So both teams better bring their A-Game!


As usual, the maps have been randomly selected... However, due to the uncertain number of games, the limit on duplicate maps has been lifted. Here are the matchups for Week 8

Group A

Game 1: The Brood vs Black Flight Squadron

* Map: Duel at DawnGame 2: Black Flight Squadron vs Destructoid

* Map: Duel at DawnGame 3: Destructoid vs The Brood

* Map: Canyon AmbushGame 4: (IF NECESSARY) Lowest kill score vs Second lowest kill score.

* Map: Duel at Dawn
Group B

Game 1: The Pastafarians vs The Raft

* Map: The Labyrinth

Good luck to all the teams involved. Prepare as best you can, for tomorrow you fight for glory!

Too much, you think? Nyeh, I care not.

Stay safe.

Urz:
Why would you still try to use a group stage format if there are only five participants? Does this also mean there is going to be a 7 team bracket next weekend?

Squash:
Wait, where's Muse and Whalers?

Squidslinger Gilder:

There are three seed spots, this was the best way to handle five teams.

Duplicates were allowed this time around, since there were more than three matches.
