W3NL – Group Stage

Format (more informations here) :

• Groups played in round-robin (all teams meet each other)
• 1x 2v2 + 3x 1v1. All matches are mandatory. Bo1 ace match in case of a draw*
• Rank is determined, in priority, by the number of points (1 point per map, no points for an Ace match), then the number of matches (nation wars) won, then number of maps lost, then score in the face-to-face match.
• Europe Group Stage playoffs: a tie-breaker between 2nds of each groups will be organized. Tie-breaker winner will face the Nation placed 1st in the opposite group it was in.
  Eg.: if 2nd of group A wins the tie-breaker against 2nd of group B, it’ll face 1st of group B in playoffs, and vice-versa. The other nation will face 1st of America group.
• Europe: 1st of each groups advance to Playoffs. 2nds meet each others, winner advances to Playoffs.
  => A total of 3 teams advance to Playoffs.
• America: 1st of the group advances to Playoffs.
  => A total of 1 team advances to Playoffs.

* Example of an Ace match requirement:

Nation A vs Nation B
Game 1 : Nation A won 2/0 => Nation A score 2 points
Game 2 : Nation B won 2/0 => Nation B score 2 points
Game 3 : Nation A won 2/1 => Nation A score 2 points & Nation B score 1point
Game 4 : Nation B won 2/1 => Nation B score 2 points & Nation A score 1point

Final score is 5/5, therefore an AceMatch is necessary to determinate the winner – this extra point doesn’t count for the overall ranking, but will be used a major condition in case of tie-break. Nation A won ace match 1/0 => Each Nation scored 5 points to the overall Ranking and Nation A would pass to next round in case of tie-break with Nation B.
