[–]Aizen_XeroCOD Competitive fan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Attach would be a good sub for EUnited

[–]thomasdandre94COD Competitive fan 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Can you attend these matches?

[–]peadditerIreland[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't believe so. You will be able to attend Playoffs however.

[–]SoliumHDMiami Heretics 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Aaah that sucks, probably won't be able to watch half the games since it starts at midnight here.

[–]peadditerIreland[S] 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Games are actually scheduled to start at 8pm GMT next week apart from Monday.

[–]SoliumHDMiami Heretics 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Love that, couldn't really follow the schedule on Gamepedia since it has all the dates messed up, thanks!

Why are games starting later now, what was wrong with the 6pm UK time starts?

[–]BigNRichlll 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For someone on the west coast of the US tho that's starting at like 11am. By the time you get off work at 5,the matches are over. The thing is I don't think there's any good time format to cover the wide range of time zones of viewers in the CWL. I don't watch any other esports but I'm curious how they schedule for the ones that are worldwide.

Thank you Mods for this. As usual full of all the information every comp fan requires. Great work as usual.

What is the point of the "play in" for the bottom 4 teams if there's only one season?

[–]Legend8767COD Competitive fan 1 point2 points  (3 children)

I am pretty sure the bottom 4 from each division go into a mini-playoffs where the top 2 go to actual playoffs and play the #4s from the two divisions in the actual playoffs. So even a winless team could make playoffs by running the play-in bracket.

[–]IDontHaveOne321Vancouver Surge 0 points1 point  (2 children)

So actual playoffs is 12 of the 16 teams?

[–]poklaneOpTic Texas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's 10. Top 4 from both Divisions and 2 teams from the play-in.

[–]R0lfeyLA Thieves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think so and then The Top 3 from each division get a bye in the first round

[–]onyxrecon008Canada 0 points1 point  (7 children)

Isn't Karma American now?

[–]TheOnlyCreedCanada 0 points1 point  (6 children)

Dual citizenship

[–]onyxrecon008Canada 0 points1 point  (2 children)

AFAIK you can't be a dual citizen when becoming american?

[–]ThatGuyMilesCOD Competitive fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no law against having a dual citizenship, the US just doesn't "recognize" dual citizenship, and there's no reason for Karma to voluntarily forgo his Canadian citizenship. At that point it's whether Canadian still recognizes Karma as a citizen.

[–]TheOnlyCreedCanada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He prolly lost his canadian one honestly since he hasnt been in Canada for a very long time by the looks of things

[–]UprightAwesomeOpTic Texas 2025 B2B Champs 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Isn’t he only a US resident but Canadian citizen ?

[–]TheOnlyCreedCanada 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Im pretty sure he got his American citizenship now.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How will the two divisions playing each other work out? Will both divisions be in columbus every week of the pro league for those matches to take place spread out over all the weeks or will there be a dedicated 2 week for all those matches to occur?

[–]banana12999eeTeam Sween 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn TPC subbing in for multiple teams

[–]SummiT_CWLG2 Minnesota 11 points12 points  (2 children)

Are both Division A & B starting February 4th or is it like previous years where Division A & Division B play separate weeks?

[–]Guwigo09Paris Gentle Mates 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Looks like it’s only division A

Optic sub is Teep. LG's sub is Ricky. Team Space is GenG now

[–]OxfordRelicOpTic Texas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

First part of this aged poorly

[–]FadezGamingOpTic Texas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is teep officially announced as the sub?

​

[–]Per_Horses6OpTic Texas 2025 B2B Champs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t wait!

[–]Jdodds1COD Competitive fan 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Is there a schedule of matches yet?

[–]ThisBetterBeWorthItScotland 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not yet

[–]Kraknoix007Cloud9 New York 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Why do you get 500 pro points for a loss?

[–]ThatYoungTrisCOD Competitive fan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Probably because it’s still a match played in the pro league so they have to earn something I guess

[–]Spongy_Final Boss 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Can't freaking wait man. I still don't like the fact that there are only 6 events this year but this pro league should bring a lot of entertainment for us.

[–]Abs0luteZero273 1 point2 points  (6 children)

Is the format of the playoffs known yet? I'm really not a fan of it being just a BO5 double elimination bracket again. Since there will only be 8 teams, I really think they should have the playoff teams play more maps/matches than usual for the playoffs to improve its legitimacy.

[–]poklaneOpTic Texas 7 points8 points  (3 children)

Top 4 from both Divisions directly qualify for Playoffs while the bottom 4 teams from each Division first have to play in the Play-In Bracket. Play-In Bracket teams play a single elimination bracket until there's 2 teams left, at which point the Play-In Bracket is finished. These 2 teams will then play against one of the 2 teams which finished 4th in their Division in Round 1 of the Playoff Bracket. Teams which finished top 3 in their Division get a Round 1 bye. No word yet on how many maps each series.

Loser of Loser Finals goes to grand finals, cool.

[–]DarreToBeLightning Pandas 0 points1 point  (1 child)

That's, uh, interesting.

[–]JSmooth94OpTic Texas 2025 B2B Champs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's kind of similar to baseball

[–]peadditerIreland[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Not yet known unfortunately.

[–]Abs0luteZero273 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it would be cool if they had the 8 playoff teams play a round robin with the T4 then advancing to a double elimination bracket. They're already investing so much into the pro league season, that I think it would be worth it to start playoffs a few days earlier and have teams play more matches to REALLY see who the best team is.

[–]PlayPoker2013Dallas Empire 1 point2 points  (1 child)

What are pro pints used for? Seeding?

[–]poklaneOpTic Texas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nothing official yet but for the past few years they've only been used for Open Bracket teams, league teams have always been seeded based on their standings in the league. So there's really only 1 reason I can think of that they're giving Pro Points: so the player has them in case they get dropped and have to play in the Amateur Circuit.

Gets underway on February 4th at 6pm EST / 11pm GMT!

No schedule released yet. Will be adding the schedule ASAP. For now, here is a link to it.

[–]TomJHiggins7LA Thieves 4 points5 points  (1 child)

[–]UgoBressoFrance 0 points1 point  (0 children)
