hi @pajada if there is a place in gold+ for next season, could you please consider me to speed up the process? (didn’t have time to participate few last seasons...) you may check my current score in wood 30 and overall stats + i performed rather fine in skaiwalker’s tourneys and recent games with players from top IntChamp groups. same with Tta Orchestra - finishing first in rehearsal group with only 3 from 4 games finished. thanks!
Hello @pajada if I finished first in wood this season and theoretically can't play next season, would I be eligible for bronze in seasons after the next season? Same for other divisions, basically do I have to play each season to keep my division or can I skip seasons and reenter the tournament in the division I had before I skipped a season? Thanks for clarification!
Hamsert if you tell me in advance you are allowed to skip one season and keep your division (in most of the cases... if you are Gold+ it may not work).
As someone who recently found these tournament it sure does seem a really slow process to be able climb up divisions. So starting from now even with a perfect record in 1 year you can only reach platinum division. I´ve been really enjoying the competition but looking forward it feels overwhelming the amount of time and effort required to reach the top levels. Probably the amount of players we have now was not expected when the rules for leagues where designed. It would be really helpful if there was a way to speed up the climbing process if your results are working.
In any case i am really grateful to the organizers for putting the time to make these leagues!
weisswurst Fleepa0 I allow someone to get promoted two divisions or enter the championship higher that Wood / Bronze very rarely. I think I should be even more transparent with this, so expect a list of special "promotions" near the start of each season. I myself entered this championship in Season 3 in the 3rd division and find a way to climb up and play 6 season in the highest division. All new players who are climbing up have my respect and my promise that special invites will be on a very low count.
As someone who started in Wood a year ago, and managed to fight my way up to Gold right now, I think it is not in the spirit of the tournament to put players in higher leagues just like that. If there is an open spot in a division, I would always give that spot to one of the players on the 2nd (, 3rd, etc.) position of the next division, who has probably fought for many seasons to get to that position. Yes, the early participants had an advantage, and I personally regret I did not find the tournament earlier, but I feel that playing for many seasons should be rewarded.
pajada Is there any chance for people that get second in non-wood leagues to still promote? The last match of my direct opponent is not in yet, but I highly suspect I will get second in my silver division with 5 wins and 2 second places (33 points), and I would love to be able to play in gold next season.
Lawful yes, chance is there because every season some players across all divisions leave championship and there are also time outs. To maximize your chances you need to be 2nd in your league and have as many points as possible 😉
pajada Thank you! As far as getting second goes, it's not possible to get more points than what I've gotten so that means I'll have a good shot. Great, I'm very happy to hear that!
I don't know what happened in International Championship Wood 16 game 13. I never received any notifications and all of a sudden I seem to have dropped out. This is very sad, since it spoiled my scoring. I don't know if it will be relevant, but I heard there is a chance to get promoted even on 2. place if your scoring is enough, which now seems to be ruined...
@pajada Quick question - I finished 2nd in my bronze league but got the highest second place score across Bronze - with some timeouts in Silver, does that mean I'll be promoted?
Firedart Yes, the chances are very close to 100%.
Perfectly 39 Points 🤩
I finished 2nd in a Wood League. Normally I would have had a decent score of 28 since I was on the way of winning my last game, but somehow unfortunately timed out (didn't receive notifications anymore, strangely...). Do I have a chance of getting promoted from 2nd place with only 22 points now?
Hi Pajada- thanks for all your hard work on these tournaments. I'm going to have to skip the summer league: can I hold my league position for the fall? User name ScoliopusB.
ScoliopusB I made a note and will try to keep you in Silver in the next season.
@pajada Hi Pajada, I have a problem in game name"International Championship gold 1 game 1". I was forced to skip my political action in consecutive 2 rounds after I accepted the event of International Agreement". I have reported this bug to the game support. But there are only 40 hours left for my round. Shall I wait or just keep playing?
cpp I have used my direct contact to support and everything should be fixed now.
pajada Great! The bug is fixed. So fast. Thank you Pajada.
I just noticed that in the Grandmaster league the games 3,4,5,10,11,12 are started whereas in all other leagues the started games are 1,2,3,8,9,10. Any particular reason why it is different in the Grandmaster league?
weisswurst there is no reason for that, I will investigate it with programmer from CGE.
