This tournament will be slightly different, as we will be using the
Esports Heaven 5vs5 S&D League to determine the 16 teams that are allowed to participate. The setup is very easy, all you have to do is participate and play in the 5vs5 Call of Duty S&D League and if you are one of the top 16 teams at 24:00 CET on the 22nd of November, you will get seeded into the single elimination playoff bracket and you will have a chance to win some of the prizes.
1. Sign up to play in the
5vs5 Call of Duty 4 S&D League 2. Challenge other teams to play against you when YOU have the time to play
3. Enter the scores and go up in the ranking
4. If you are in the top 16 on the 22nd of November at 24:00 CET, you will be seeded into the 16 team single elimination playoff bracket
Schedule Qualification League - 31st October until 22nd November You can qualify for this invite only competition by securing one of the top 16 positions in the overall Call of Duty 4 - 5vs5 S&D league here on Esports Heaven. The top 16 teams will be invited for the Single Elimination playoff bracket, and their seeding will be done based on the ranking achieved in the league.

Good luck to all teams participating.
nice anyway I guess tho

Bait? I would (and I know all of my team agree and I've spoken to a whole bunch of other people about this) much rather lose 13-2/3/4/5 to a decent team such as yourselves than play average teams and thrash them 13-3. It's not fun, we don't improve... the only way we improve as individuals and as a team is by playing better teams and learning from mistakes...
These sort of leagues provide the opportunity to do that. If CGa keeps the same silly '12 games in 14 days' limit then this is absolutely perfect prep for us for i44 and other things.
Good stuff :)
This will be 1 of the downfall's of a league with every kind of team in it (no offence to the lower skilled teams it's just your the most likely to lame others it's just a fact). It's gonna cause problems when team's will do anything they can to ensure they make the last 16, it's quite pathetic. Exactly why a tournament is better because these smaller, unknown teams who are willing to lame to win match's dissapear within the 1st round.
