Playoffs

The playoff structure will depend on the amount of signups. We will try to stick to the scheduled block.A final announcement will be made when the groups are finalized.

Rule Changes

Last Highlander Nations Cup we started experimenting a bit to try and get some additional eyes on the nations cup. We’ll be continuing the trend this year around.

Multiple Rosters Per Country

We’ll be allowing each country to field up to 2 line-ups. If a country has even more prospect rosters we’ll tackle these case-by-case. If more captain applications are submitted the best captain(s) go through. In rare cases we may allow more the 2 line-ups, this might be in cases to balance out the amount of teams to an even amount or make the tournament structure easier.

Provisional Tiers

Down below are this Season’s provisional tiers. If you can’t find your team it could be due to you recently changing your team name or not having 6 players rostered on your team page. Teams marked in yellow are more likely to be moved if there is a need to change teams around.
