2 Divisions!

We had quite the low signups this season, because of this we have chosen to go with two divisions with a 6-4 split. While we understand players wanted an Intermediate to have some off-class seasons, we cannot justify that this season. The skill divide is also quite clear within the teams, meaning any movement of the bottom Premier teams would cause an imbalance and heavy restrictions. The restrictions will be off to people, but we decided to keep some of the stronger players unrestricted to allow them to compete with each other with stronger players available. If one of those players were restricted, it would constitute more restrictions across the board.

Progression of the Season

Premier will have only a 5 week season due to only having six teams, while Main will have 6 week season versing each team twice before moving onto playoffs.

Change to the Map Pool

After the previous season, it was decided that we will remove Borneo and Warmtic from the map pool. This decision comes after many complaints about both maps and their design. For Borneo, we have no replacement for the season, but Warmtic is being replaced with Cascade. This decision was made after seeing the same few maps pulled in and out of rotation, with Cascade being last played in Season 3, bringing it back will allow all players to focus on learning a new map.
