Highlander Season 6 powered by Tt eSPORTS Premiership – Playoffs: Kill Switch vs Tourettes Chessclub

Beginning the Season 6 Playoffs with the first of the amazing matches between  Kill Switch and  Tourettes Chessclub. With this being the final game for one of the teams, Kill Switch will be wanting to regain their 1st place status from Season 5 and add a 2nd season to their metaphorical belts but with  Tourettes Chessclub‘s re-worked roster, such a result may not be so easily gained and a surprise could lay around the corner.

The match will be casted on BlackOut TV by sigafoo and Heavy Is GPS who is also on the camera. Tune in at 20.00 CEST!

Now, that we’ve broken all the ties and reduced the number of teams by half, we can proceed to the most intense part of the cup: The Knockout Stages! Each skill group has its own tournament tree which can be found below:

>>> Top | Higher | High | Mid-High | Mid-Low | Low | Lower | Lowest <<<

The rules will be the same as on Sunday – timelimit 10 and winlimit 5, and whoever wins that twice proceeds to the next stage. Check our rules page for a more detailed explanation. Games will start tonight, Tuesday May 6th, at 20:00CEST Read the rest of this entry »

As only the top two teams of each group will proceed into the knockout stages on Tuesday, we will host tiebreakers on Monday, May 5th, from 20:00CEST onwards. Matches can be played at any other time that day if both teams agree on a time, as long as the results are submitted before 23:00CEST that same day. We will randomly decide winners of unplayed games and unsubmitted results after that!

To keep everything simple & quick, tiebreakers will be played in a single golden cap round with no timelimit and the first intel cap to win the GC. Three-way ties will result in three GC rounds being played. No regular rounds will be played.

If a three-way tiebreaker results in another three-way tie, the team who capped intel the fastest during those three tiebreaker GCs wins the whole tiebreaker and proceeds into the knockout stages. Read the rest of this entry »

Highlander Season 6 powered by Tt eSPORTS Premiership – Week 6: Tourettes Chessclub vs itsallgood

It’s the final game tonight for two of our contenders, Tourettes Chessclub against itsallgood. Currently sitting within the playoff threshold, Tourettes Chessclub have been going under major roster changes to improve their edge and guarantee themselves in the playoffs however such a result can only be achieved if they can match itsallgood‘s fury and take those 6 points away from them which maybe considerably harder considering their mighty play all season. All we can be sure of is that this is a game you do not want to miss!
