New Cup Series starts in January

In 2012 we want start something new in the European CSM section of the ESL. Until now there were only the Season Cups and the CSM Premiership in this section. But not all of you have the possibility to participate in each of these tournaments, because some of them are only for premium members or 2on2 teams. In January 2012 we start a new Cup Series.

We will start with the CSM 1on1 Cup Series Q1/2012, which, which consists of four single cups within two month. The top 8 of all these tournaments are qualified for the 1st CSM 1on1 Cup Series Q1/2012 Playoffs. There you have the chance to win some premium prices.

Scoring System

To determine the top 8 of all cups, we use a scoring system. Each participant will get points, except those who are eliminated through a default loss in the first round. It was important for us that members who participated on every single cup also have a chance, even if they don't rank in the top 8 of a cup. Nobody will be able to get qualified for the playoffs with a single win! These are the points you get in the CSM Cup Series:

Rank	Points
1st	100
2nd	75
3rd	50
4th - 8th	35
9th - 16th	20

Additonal Information

Seedings: To reduce the duration of the Cup Series the cup mode is single elimination. We will use the CSM EU 1on1 Ladder rankings for the seedings. So if you think, the seedings are unfair: You can influence it yourself by playing matches in the ladder.
Gameaccount: Your gameaccount in the ESL must be current. The correct gameaccount is your actual loginname in CSM.
Ingame Ladder: You are allowed to play your matches as PCW, if your opponent agrees. Otherwise the matches have to be played in the ingame ESL CSM Ladder. You can join it for free by using this link.
