BlizzardTonight sees the start of the knockout bracket for CSS but before we dive into that. I would like to run through my thoughts on the group stage games. Over the past three or four seasons the biggest downfall in the CSS league was the amount of defaults. Last season found a big improvement with many revisions being made to the league which increased the amount of games being played. On the outset many people will see the amount of default in this pre-season tournament a big disappointment and a step backward. This just isn’t so, what has happened in this pre season tournament is exactly what I wanted. I wanted to get to the teams which wanted to play and hopefully this has done it. I expect the first round of the knockout stage to be littered with defaults aswell but as the tournament moves on the teams who turn up week in week out will shine through. My hope is that on the first week of season 11 we won’t have many defaults because all the defaults would be in this pre season tournament.
So moving on the knockout stages are all set up and will be posted shortly, once I have gone through any conflicts which may be in my inbox. I have revised the schedule a slight amount to allow for teams to reschedule. I’ve basically put a few days between games so there is a bit of room for rescheduled games. You can find the revised schedule below.

So moving on the knockout stages are all set up and will be posted shortly, once I have gone through any conflicts which may be in my inbox. I have revised the schedule a slight amount to allow for teams to reschedule. I’ve basically put a few days between games so there is a bit of room for rescheduled games. You can find the revised schedule below.
Important Information
- Players with time left on your roster, generally in the group stages we said that if the other team allow you to use the players with time left then it is fine. We will continue to use this rule however you must inform your opposition before the game and it will be there choice if they say “no” they are not default hunters. This seems to be a term used by the higher up teams thinking they have the right to moan because they are better, well wise up if your team is so good they should have a stable five players and you should not be adding new players on match night.
- If you don’t use SGLAC you will be suspended until the tournament is finished if two or more players don’t use SGLAC your team will be suspended. I have already done this to one team so do not think this is an empty threat. (Note: We know about the FPS/Screenshot issues with SGLAC and currently working to resolve them. The best thing you can do is help us by giving us as much information as possible so we find the problem faster. You must still use SGLAC other anticheats or just demos isn’t acceptable, I’m sorry you will just have to play through
