Playoffs details

All groupwinners have been paired up against a second ranked player from another group. It is not possible to face the same player from your group until the final.

Maps
As announced before, the maps in the playoffs will be decided by the players! We have decided to use the mapprocedure that is also used in the ESL Pro Series TMNF UK;
- The lowest seeded player bans a track from the mappack first. Four tracks remain.
- The highest seeded player bans another track from the mappack. Three tracks remain.
- The lowseed chooses the first map of the match. Two tracks remain in the mappack.
- The highseed chooses the second map of the match.
- The final remaining track becomes the decider in case both players win 1 map.
All maps can be downloaded directly in thisnewspost.

Servers
Matchservers should be hosted by the players, but if both players are not able to host one, they can request one from the admins, at #esl.tm.blx or in a support ticket.
There is also a public server up for practice! It's called ESL Benelux by Bullracing.org, and located in Germany.

Other rules
For this cup, respawn is allowed!
Do not forget to take screenshots of the results of the match. For each map, a screenshot showing the result has to be uploaded to the matchpage.
Unlike regular ladder competitions, it is now the mapwins that count. A 7-1, 6-7 result still requires a decider, as both players won 1 map.
