Rules,Brackets and Informations - The Legion Clan Forum

World Clan League - The Warchiefs

:::::: Stages and Dates ::::::

Qualification stage:
The clans that signed up and were not invited in WCL - TWC will have to play a single elimination tournament, starting on March 26th and ending on April 15th. The 16 best-placed teams will guarantee a spot in WCL-TWC.
Each round of the Qualifying Stage will last one week (Deadline for First round is April 8th 23.59 GMT and for Second Round is April 15th 23.59 GMT). Only 128 clans will accepted to play in the Qualification Stage, so there will be 3 rounds (1 round per week) to decide the top 16 clans who will advance to the Group Stage.

Group Stage:
The 14 invited clans, two teams of Legion Clan and the 16 qualified clans will be split into 8 groups, each of them composed by 4 clans. In a Round Robin system, each clan plays against all the other clans that are in the same group. Each week, each clan plays against one clan according to the schedule given by us, weekly.
This makes the Group Stage take a total of 3 weeks. This Stage will start on April 16th. Each match won adds 1 point to the clan total score in the Group Stage. The 14 Invited clans and the 2 Legion Clan teams are:

The SuCky WizZards
The hope Clan
LoSt Clan
Rise Of the Masters
DELUXE PLAYERS
Storm Reapers
ReBeLDe
Japanese Monmori Clan
ViE
AzTeC Warriors
MMC
SeX AnD SpliFF
SakurA
tEkNiQuE
The Legion Clan Team A
The Legion Clan Team B

Final Stage:
The 2(two) clans with the highest score from each group of the Group Stage will advance to the Final Stage. The system at this Stage is double elimination (winners/losers bracket). In the Grand Finals (winners of Winners bracket vs winners of Losers bracket), as usual, the clan who comes from losers bracket must win 2 sets of games against the clan who comes from the winners bracket in order to become the WCL - TWC Champion (in other words: winner of Winners brackets start with already one set of games "won").

Deadlines of first 3 rounds (Final Stage) are:

Round 1: ALL MATCHES must be finished and uploaded by May 27th 23.59 GMT.

Round 2: ALL MATCHES must be finished and uploaded by June 3rd 23.59 GMT.
