I didn't think it was part of the cogs map rotation, as it doesn't conform to what the standard match format has been for pretty much the entire time the cogs has been running. That is terrifying.

Thank you. We at The Raft have been preparing like hell for a deathmatch, and we get a CP? With a spot in the tournament on the line? To be honest, I doubt anybody wants this. The Labyrinth was fun to watch in week 6 when it was new and unknown, but it's less enjoyable from the perspective of both the player and the spectator than a normal 2v2 deathmatch.

I'm sorry, but the map rotation currently includes all five 2v2 maps. The Cogs is a 2v2 tournament, not a DM tournament. Just do the best you can with the time you have. That's all any of us can expect.
Oh, and Labyrinth's setup is actually very interesting from a spectator's point of view. It's one giant ambushfest... Which makes for an exciting match. An early advantage and a little durability can snowball a team to victory... But seizing the point mid-match and turning the tides is more than possible for an organised team. With the fog surrounding the buildings and the point, the tension between waves makes for an awesome show.

Week 9 preview...

It's your event, Swallow, but I will say that there has been constant backlash about the fact that Labyrinth is a good concept, but a buggy, gravity-welled mess that has a laughably small CP radius. I don't know if the Pastafarians agree with this or not.
EDIT: Which match starts when? I need to coordinate with my crew since we'll be waking up at 3AM for this.
Swallox:
Oh, oops... Forgot to include the times.
We'll be starting at 4pm EST, as always... And going on for as long as it takes. Since there are only four (or five, if things get hairy) matches, we don't have to run them concurrently. Here's how it'll work.
Group A matches'll be played first. Match 1, 2 and 3.
The Group B matches be played afterwards.
...And if we need to, Match 4 from Group A'll be played last.
Since the Group A matches could take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour and a bit, I'd say you don't have to be ready to go from the very start... But as usual, I'd like all the team representatives in the Skype captain's chat at the start.
N-Sunderland:
Wouldn't it make more sense to play group B first tomorrow? That way, the teams are done and can leave, then you move on to the others, who have to wait through one match before they start playing. With group A going first, the group B players have to be online the whole time, waiting for all three matches to finish. This is a particularly big problem for me since I have to be somewhere at 5:00, and if it takes much more than half an hour for group A, then I'll have to abandon my team.
