Ah yes 24. I joined cause Lupastic said 20 like last time. Now another number so we can wait longer. Thats a 0/5 Pinkmanovic. Lets pray they will start with 24 and not try to get 32...or 128!
Echiko decides. She is the man in this moderator duo.

Well, since it's like only two days that we started, we want to give to some potentially interested people more time to join, because they can be valid participants to our cup and challenging opponents for you.
Moreover, I would ask you to rate the cup maybe once the cup is finished, or at least during, but not before it starts. There aren't so many things to judge now! So next time, I suggest you to think more before giving your final vote to a cup

So let's make some order among these messages.
Dear Rumincheg, once we are ready (we are waiting for a total of 24 players), the site will generate the groups. You must play with the other players of your group. Try to win as many games as possible to advance to the next stage (Knockouts).

For everybody. Please READ CAREFULLY WHAT THE SCHEME SAYS. There are some important variations, please take notes about this to avoid complains!

Groups, as said before, will be formed when we reach 24 players. Stay tuned!

Hello Chicken23,

I don't have a problem doing that but I want to point out that TRL Team17 activity declined.

Season 29: Average games per day 7.5, number of participants: 54
Season 30: Average games per day 5.4, number of participants: 28 (almost halved)

Do you think settings up TTL would be any different? (TUS Team17 League)

Consider that maybe summer is coming, lots of people can work less (or not at all) and play more. Intermediate has already a website on its own, so I found a TRL with intermediate a bit redundant.
I think a TTL wouldn't be a bad idea, people are enjoying Team17 island more than in cavern, so maybe this could bring more activity.

I definitely agree for a TTL moreover these kind of matches are always exciting in terms of commenting! 

Cmon guys, don't miss this aquatic cup! Ride the waves once more!

I say that the most important things are the rules. Everyone has different memories of that scheme, different set of rules in his\her minds.
If this ESL has to start, precise rules must be stated clearly. Regardless the popularity of the scheme.

Then I would support any of the schemes already proposed, and something fresh might be a good thing for the activity of both the forum and WA

You don't have to worry about it. For any scheme that will become the winner in the vote, clear rules will be formed (if they are required), additional maps will be created if necessary, and replays will be collected for clarity. If the chosen scheme is controversial and not perfect in terms of rules, then there will be additional discussion in order to reach a consensus.

Perfect Sibi! ^^

I barely made it through, heh

Kirill, as written before, surrending is part of the challenge.
Retry, and this time do not forget to surrender.

Try not wasting time choosing weapons

Btw I think that rules have to be written well to avoid misunderstanding regarding this schemes... This requires a bit of work for some schemes like Fort Architects!
