GaF Posted May 7, 2008 Author Share Posted May 7, 2008 Re: eSport Champions League Schedule and Prizes Just to say that the times are exactly the same on the German version - so I presume that they are CET - that means they'll start an hour earlier for us than advertised.....

goater14 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Re: eSport Champions League Schedule and Prizes Anyone no what the format is for this, I persume its the same as the UK league but now with 100 teams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted May 9, 2008 Author Share Posted May 9, 2008 Re: eSport Champions League Schedule and Prizes No it's different ;) Structure of the eSport-Poker Champions League Before the teams reach the knockout phase of the eSport-Poker Champions League, they must get through the group phase. Teams from all the national eSport Poker Leagues will be participating and fight for promotion into the final matches. A total of 100 teams will first be playing for a six-day long group phase. The group assignment will be determined by lot and announced before the eSport-Poker Champions League starts. This random assignment can only take place after the season is over, when all the national tournaments have finished and the team rankings in the league charts are finalized. There will be a total of ten groups, each starting with ten teams. At the end of the group phase, the five best teams in each group qualify to take part in the subsequent finals. Here, the best 50 teams will compete against each another in the quarter-finals, and only the best will make it to the semi-finals. Now the wheat is separated from the chaff, and only the ten best teams will proceed to fight for the title of European poker champion in the grand final. I presume each group has its own set of tournaments, so these will now just be 10 seat STTs (in the initial group stage) :unsure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillHicks Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Re: eSport Champions League Schedule and Prizes I wish they just gave the prize money away in one big freeroll, instead of some league system that's more complicated than the Da Vinci Code.

A far simpler set up would IMO have worked better - plus backing from one of the major Poker Magazines - or national daily - would help.

GaF Posted May 18, 2008 Author Share Posted May 18, 2008 Re: eSport Champions League Schedule and Prizes I actually quite like the format (if it's implemented properly). Obviously it's no good if it's not understood by the players, so communication of the concept is key..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fonzie14 Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Re: eSport Champions League Schedule and Prizes It is obviously "loosely" based on the european football leagues, with each nation having its own league qualifiers going on to the champions league. In principle a great idea (imho), however it needs someone at the top to make (prompt) decisions when problems occur. Hopefully, all will be sorted BEFORE the start of the Champions League on Wednesday. :hope GL all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaF Posted May 21, 2008 Author Share Posted May 21, 2008 Re: eSport Champions League Schedule and Prizes If you look at the German version, you can see that the final is a two legged affair with the second leg on 16th July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaF Posted May 26, 2008 Author Share Posted May 26, 2008 Re: eSport Champions League Schedule and Prizes From the German forum Ahhaa, now I understood, as want to bend it. The teams from DE and UK will play 28,5. in the groups 1-6 starting from that, the teams from FRA and ESP starting from 11.6. in the groups 7-10. Very smartly - however fair? naja, you must know, how you make… It seems that the French and Spanish teams will join at a later stage :unsure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentJay Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Re: eSport Champions League Schedule and Prizes How can they come later into the League? I thought that everybody started as onces!? I don't think the Spanish and French leagues are done yet. (In fact, they seem to only start this Thursday. I guess the top 10 after 4 rounds qualify for the CL?) If you look at their CL schedules, it says they play 4 rounds from 11.6. to 23.6. (presumably amongst themselves), and then presumably the qualifiers from the UK/GER and ESP/FRA group stages move on to the quarter finals, where we presumably finally get the "real" CL. :tongue2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the decision is understandable, since an awful lot of folks are gonna be spending the evening at fan fests, public viewing areas, pubs, etc. You're just bitter 'cause you Brits can't play football. :tongue2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

England Germany ;) Btw., as unlikely as it may seem, I actually like England. So I was rather disappointed that they didn't qualify for 08. They actually played really well against Croatia, and probably deserved to win... but the damage was done earlier. Maybe that Italian guy can get them back on track. It's a mystery to me how a team with so many top players isn't amongst the world's elite. (It's pretty much the opposite for Germany - lots of fairly ordinary players, but they usually do well as a team.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
