Within the rankings we can see that some teams tie each other out by beating just each other, that is why some explanation is needed to figure out who is ranked on which position. First of all: every winner of each group is going right through to the playoffs, there is in no group doubt about the 1st place.

In group A three teams have the equal amount of points and could beat each other, although that fact the case is clear: Clan-Germany is placed 2nd because of their score difference - they could win three maps instead of two compared to the others. As myRevenge e.V. could beat Da Roxor United in direct comparison the Spanish team is ranked on #3 and advances to the relegation mode.

Within group D no written rule applies to the ranks of number 2, 3 and 4 - they are still equal after everything. As solution we agreed after a lot of discussion within the admin staff that we consider the made fullcaps during the groupstage to give the ranking another detail, so the final ranks are:

clutchmasterz with +14 fullcaps
pod virtual gaming with +04 fullcaps
Casca.QPAD with -06 fullcaps
SexyGamers with -12 fullcaps

The relegation is scheduled for the week 24th May until 30th may. Your matches will be displayed on the EMS VI page shortly, we still have to finish one delayed match tonight to determine who is ranked first and second in group c.

In addition we decided to gather feedback now about the future usage of dod_salerno or dod_salerno_comp. Every team has one vote on behalf of all of their players to determine which map will be used for the next stages. Please send one representative with access to the invite player board and reply with what you want to play in the future.
