4go vs Red Dot CGFB 3 LIVE NOW! http://www.twitch.tv/blazingl4d

Just letting you all know that the 3rd CGFB cup will commence on Monday 6th August and registration will finish on Friday 3rd, thus there is less than 2 weeks left for interested parties to sign up via this E4D forum thread: http://earth4dead.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=29&id=534&limit=6&limitstart=6&Itemid=69#564


I will say it again to be clear: the 2 match win rule (where 2 wins for any player who has competed in any top-level competition rules them out of competing in CGFB competition) is in effect. This includes ANY AND ALL competitions such as fragpipe, PWG, ESL and other cups (defwins do not count).

We will try to be as thorough as we can in the process of checking the records of teams and players. However, if an ineligible player, whether they themselves are knowingly or unknowingly ineligible, ends up playing in a cup match and is later found out to be ineligible, their team will incur default losses for all matches up to that point and the player will be removed from the cup. If there is more than one ineligible player on the same team competing in a match, the team will be DISQUALIFIED from the cup with no chance of appeal.

To spare any confusion or ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in the future, I am sure any player can remember winning as little as 2 matches in all the competitions they've competed in, thus making the necessary rule a simple one. If a player is found to be ineligible then there is no point in trying to dispute or bicker with admins about the decision.

So my advice to anyone who has actually entered such competitions before is to be 100% honest about your achievements and spare your team the trouble of eventually being caught out. We've provided this warning because by the time the cup starts, there will be ZERO TOLERANCE if offending parties are found to have broken the 2-match win rule.

At long last, we have reached the finish line! The two teams who have proven to be the strongest of the competition, will battle each other to lift the cup and to claim the prize!

Congratulations to all the members of 2Late, Bikini Tryouts and Strongcock. For your teams finishing in the top 3 of this cup, you have officially gained mentor status should you choose to lend a helping hand to a beginning team in the next Community Cup.

It is simple: 2Late have never lost a match in this cup, thus they only need to keep things that way to emerge as champions. However, it's a different story for Bikini Tryouts because they have come from the losers' bracket, meaning they need to beat 2Late TWICE in a row to complete a sensational comeback and officially become the first CGFB Community Cup winners.

As for the stakes in the MVP leaderboards, the grand final is worth 3 points to whoever is/are the player(s) of the match(es).

I trust both teams will organise the most optimum date and time for themselves, as the grand final will be hosted on The Parish 1-4.


POM-30: 2LATE VS BIKINI TRYOUTS
DATE:


Both teams have done enormously well to reach this final stage. I hope you both use this opportunity you have created for yourselves to venture onwards and upwards through the ranks of the community.

Good luck and may the best team win!

The finish line is in sight everyone. We started with 24 teams, now only 6 have been strong enough to survive this distance. There have been plenty of great matches, surprises and drama along the way but we salute all that have participated in this cup.

And now for the real business. The winners bracket has the two leading teams of the cup, fighting each other on Dark Carnival 1-4 are:


POM-25: Strongcock vs 2LATE
WIN to 2LATE - Player of the match: bAm


And for the losers' bracket, the matches are still in the semi-final phase so Dead Air 1-4 is the campaign to be played in these matches:


POM-26: Team 3urotrash vs puLse
WIN to puLse - Player of the match: DaFox

POM-27: Team Infamous vs Bikini Tryouts
DEFWIN to Bikini Tryouts


POM-28: puLse vs Bikini Tryouts
WIN to Bikini Tryouts - Player of the match: Axident


All these matches have to be played from Monday 24th - Sunday 30th October.

HOWEVER, for this next match there is no deadline this week. But we would greatly appreciate the sportsmanship of the competitors if they were able to play it without much delay. If they do play this match relatively quickly, it means we can stage the GRAND FINAL NEXT WEEK! And for that, the one who graduates from the losers bracket will be decided between:


POM-29: Strongcock vs Bikini Tryouts
WIN to Bikini Tryouts - Player of the match: Axident


We are VERY close guys! Keep up the excellent work and good luck to the end!
