Hello, SCL!

We have done as much research as possible to postpone the semi-finals and finals for Season 4 so that it does not collide with the PGL Major. We understand that it is attractive event and that many players from here intend to go and watch it. The traffic on several coverage websites will most likely also go to the Major and not to SCL if we were to collide with it.

We have let teams in Season 4 reach out to us on Discord and Twitter to tell us if this postpone of the playoffs would make any problems. This has all been sorted out.

The playoffs update will look like the following,

Public & Intermediate:

Round of 16: All default-times for round of 16 will be on the 12th May (Thursday). You will be able to reschedule between Monday 9th - 12th Thursday. You have 4 possible days to play your round of 16. Single elimination, bo3. 

Quarterfinals: All default-times for the quarterfinals will be on the 16th May (Monday). You will be able to reschedule between Friday 13th - 16th Monday. You have 4 possible days to play your quarterfinals. Single elimination, bo3. 

Semi-finals: All the default-times for the semi-finals will be on the 24th of May (Tuesday). You will be able to reschedule between Tuesday 17th - 24th Tuesday. You have 7 possible days to play your semi-finals. Single elimination, bo3.

Grand-final: Default date is 25th of May (Wednesday). You will be able to reschedule this game to 26th or 27th of May if your opponent will agree.

Masters Division:

Round of 16: All default-times for round of 16 will be on the 12th May (Thursday). You will be able to reschedule between Monday 9th - 12th Thursday. You have 4 possible days to play your round of 16. Single elimination, bo3. 

Quarterfinals Masters: The quarterfinals of Masters Division is scheduled to 23rd May. It is a fixed date and is only reschedule-able by time but not day. This is due to match coverage.

Semi-finals: 24th May. You can reschedule which time the 24th, but not the day. This is due to coverage on other platforms, we need to provide them with exact dates, and at this part rescheduling will no longer be possible. 

Grand-final: Fixed date, 25th May. You can reschedule which time the 25th, but not the day. This is also due to coverage on other platforms, we need to provide them with exact dates. The only exception for rescheduling would be to delay the match with 1-2 days, if both teams agree. This is possible since it's the last game of the bracket.

We happily encourage you to reach out to us,
