After making the group draw on Twitch about the teams, here is the pannel meeting of the tourney. It's about a new pannel compared with the former one - it was a necessary decision because we wanted to improve the organization of the tournament, and the first table, although being a simpliest remake of the 2016 one, was too difficult to understand.

2. About today's matches
Today we want to organize the first encounters from 09 pm. These frst matches will be done via pools and will enable to every team to know in which bracket they will have to go thereafter. Knowing there will be 3 teams in each pool, it means thus that there will be 2 matches to do for each of them - either 6 matchs for today all in all.
If possible, we will try to do at least both phase 2 and A next, in order to progress as quickly as possible (I recall that the patch 7.3 arrives on 30 August ; from this date all classes will receive new changes, that will unbalance our game format).
3. How does work the tourney?
For this year we have decided to make a double-elimination tournament. It means that you have to lose twice in the tourney to be definitively eliminated. We choose this fighting way because it enables to extend the tourney and give a second chance for each team ; besides, knowing we have less teams than last year (6 against 8 for 2016), it should be noted as well to don't go too quickly, in order to extend the duration of the games.
Tournament simulation:
As regards the double-elimination system, you can see on the demonstration picture above that everyone goes towards the bottom of the pannel (aka. loser bracket) once a match is lost at the top of the pannel (aka. winner bracket). Of course this is explained by the fact that you need a 2nd defeat to be definitively eliminated of the championship. The first teams that will fight after losing a match will be the ones that would get the last position both in pools and phase 2.
As a consequence, once the games in phase A ended, the two teams that would lost twice will be definitively eliminated. The two teams that would have won in phase A will fight in phase B thereafter, and the winning team will qualify for phase C where it will face the losing team of the phase 3. Indeed, the losing team of the phase 3 would have the right to get a second chance since as we said previously, the teams that will be eliminated in the tourney must be the ones that lose twice.
Once the phase C ended, the winning team of this phase will face the winning team of the phase 3 for the final of the tournament. All the matches that will be done before the final will be made in best of 3 : it means that it is the first team that will win two rounds that will win the match. However, once the final reached, the two finalist teams will fight in best of 5. At that moment, it will be the first team that will win 3 rounds that will achieve the finale and thus the tourney.
Note : the players that will group us will be Kinian, Raymond and Garitos.
