Like mentioned before qualifiers have become necessary for the north european division after 52 clans have signed up. 16 of those clans won't have to qualify for the group games. All others will have to play in a single knockout round. The winners will proceed to the groupgames and fight for a payoff position there while the loosers will be put into a b-divison so that they have a few more games, too. The pairings were decided by a random draw. All games must be played until next thursday the 25th of january (because this is the official start of SD2). The games are best of three (with dm2, dm3, e1m2, e3m7 and dm6 to choose from, tiebreaker map will be decided randomly if teams cannot agree otherwise). Please request an admin in #smackdown for each game! Both screenshots and demos from winners pov have to be submitted. If a game does not take place in time we will draw a winner.
Here are the pairings: Match #1: Death Dealers vs. Paranoia
Match #2: Gods of Hellfire vs. Hard Guns Crew
Match #3: Armageddon Deep Town vs. PiL
Match #4: The Fragging Pumpkins vs. Unforbidden
Match #5: Orkney Clan vs. Armageddon
Match #6: Fatal Error vs. Zweden aZZ kickerZ
Match #7: No Clan Name vs. Badboys
Match #8: SPAS vs. JAMS
Match #9: Welfare for Brigh vs. Cyberquest
Match #10: Four Kings vs. NME
Match #11: Unequaled vs. Psycho Farmers
MAtch #12: Växjö vs. Obey the Game Law
Match #13: Natural Born Fraggaz vs. OhMyGod
Match #14: HellFire Clan vs. Rape Fan'z Club
Match #15: ADT2 vs Children of the Sun
Match #16: DSG vs. Negative
Match #17: Frag eXecutors vs. Noskills
Match #18: Proud like Gods vs. Vanquish
This will produce 18 winners. Thus we will not have 4 groups of 8 clans each but 2 with 8 and 2 with 9 teams. All other teams that signed up in time and are not standing here are autoberthed into the group games.
