Announcing: The Media Blog
In our continuing attempts to provide top quality media team information and discussion, we have decided to open our latest idea: The Media Blog. Similar in organization to news sites or personal blogs, yet consistent in content with what we've always provided, the Media Blog will aid us in providing an easy format for outputting information, and a convenient location for our readers to absorb and discuss our writing. We will soon allow comment sections, in the meanwhile feel free to PM the writers with your thoughts and we may feature particularly insightful ones in responses on the blog.
We hope to include both the latest happenings in RTSL with discussion of the AoE3 environment at large, as well as provide a more personal slant on things than you're used to reading from the media team. So, be sure to spread the word to your clanmates and others in the community, and if you're interested in participating yourself, PM me to apply to join the team.
TAD Playoff Overview from MMC.eSports
Over at the MMC.eSports website, Phreak has written an excellent preview of this season's TAD playoff bracket.
The review includes detailed analysis for each of the top eight teams (in his opinion). In addition, the article will be updated with more reviews and commentary as the results start coming in, so be sure to check back throughout the playoffs!
If you want to comment on the article or join the discussion on the MMC.eSports forums, here is a link to the appropriate thread.
[TAD] Playoffs Beginning
Thanks to the strong scheduling performance of all the clans involved, RTSL TAD Season 2 has finished without a hitch and we can now enter playoffs. As previously stated, we will allow the top four clans from each division into playoffs, giving us a 16-clan bracket.
In concluding this season, let me just thank the staff that has been hard at work here this season, from Pedestrian and his webmastery to my league staffers to the media team members who have remained (semi) active this season. Also, the participation from clans has been wonderful this season - competition was very high and I think we had a record lack of clan drops this season.
Looking ahead, we have more upcoming in terms of extraneous events, potential cash prizes and special tournaments, as well as continued support for this game as well as more in the future. Hopefully this next season, with some new recruits, you can look forward to some more excellent work from the media team and another great season.
Good luck to those in playoffs; we'll have playoff seedings up very shortly. Please have potential gametimes and teams ready so that once we have brackets up you can begin scheduling quickly and effectively to get playoffs started without any delays.
[TAD] Group Stage Over
The official group stage is over now for TAD Season 2 - please hurry and schedule your remaining matches in this final make up week, otherwise all matches will be decided via admin decisions by early Monday morning of next week.
[TAD] Playoff Participants
After a long discussion, the staff has decided to allow the top four clans from each division into playoffs.
We reason that while top three seems to be more fitting for the amount of clans per division, allowing the top four in allows for a more competitive and volatile playoff atmosphere, as well as giving more clans the chance to succeed in playoffs, and therefore maintaining our "fun first" philosophy.
AOC Season 20 | Playoffs Begin!
The AOC Season 20 playoff brackets have just been released! You can click here to view the current bracket.
Currently there are two blank spots in the bracket, which will soon be filled by the winners of our two play-in games. BsK will host the winner of the DarTh / PlaN matchup, while TWP will host the winner of the cR / DFH matchup.
If you have any questions about the bracket or the playoff format in general, feel free to contact DeathCubeK (your friendly AOC admin) or any other member of the league staff. Please use the playoff forum to schedule your matches.
Congratulations to all the teams who made the playoffs, and good luck!
Clan Operator Panel / Updates
I have just finished (finally) updating the clan operator panel with some much-requested features.
Clan operators can now add and remove players from their roster, and edit their clan's general information (name, website, leader info, etc). Just log into your clan panel the normal way, and all of the new features should be accessible from the first page.
If you have any questions or find any bugs, please report them in the Technical Support forum. Have fun everyone!
Round 1 Extension
Due to the Easter holiday this Sunday and the upcoming patch release (which we all hope will be this week), round 1 will be extended an extra week. Hope that gives clans a bit more leeway this round to get your games scheduled and not get behind.
