Important news regarding Edge#3!
 Welkin has written out a manifesto in order to bring some change to the deteriorating state of the scene.
You can read it in three parts on :
Especially the third part mentions his thoughts about The Edge League. I quote Welkin:
The Edge League:
One edition of Edge per season, and having it held during spring only. Being a one-map competition, it is the sort of thing that should rather be a momentarily event, than a parallel entity to EDL. This way it will also leave room for other tournaments during fall, such as the regional ones (as will be mentioned further down). Naturally it does not mean that it should be of any smaller size or matter.
Another perk to pushing the Edge tournament to the spring, is that people who are just getting into the game during fall/winter, or returning veterans for that matter, dont have to spend a vast amount of time and energy to start learning and/or practising all the additional maps, in order to take part in an upscale duel competition. Also, those who simply missed the sign ups phase for EDL, or didnt want to commit to a full seasonal term, they get a shot at something prestigious as well.
65-80 players are expected to sign up. The traditional elimination rounds will drop 30-45 players within a few weeks, leaving about 35 players for the group stage. In round numbers, 6-8 groups make 4-6 players per group. 3-5 games per player during group stage, and one round per week.
Playoffs follow the double-elimination system, starting with 1/8 finals. 5-8 matches per player.
Schedule, Edge #3:
Sign ups deadline, Jan 29th (sign ups open for 3-4 weeks)
Elimination rounds, Jan 30th Feb 19th (3 weeks)
Group stage, Feb 20th Mar 25th (5 weeks)
Playoffs, Mar 26th Apr 29th (5 weeks) [URL][/URL]
The Edge crew fully supports these changes in the scene and will thus follow the proposed schedule.
Signups will open in the first week of 2012! | |
