Last Chance to Sign Up for the ECL 25 Spring Pro Wildcard!

Your schedule for these tournaments are absurd, what is the point in these? People have other life than this game, 70% of these ”wildcard” teams are playing also FCL and have no time to play games. 
 

Add some time to FCL since there is nothing to play for so people can play their games without giving walkovers

I have a few words regarding the schedule and how quickly games start after the ECL information release.
This is not an ideal situation, especially for teams playing in other Sportsgamer leagues at the same time. We are not the only ones with many games already scheduled for this week. Now, we have to find room for several important ECL qualifier games on the same game days as FCL.

It’s still unclear how many more games might be added. I hope everyone can play their qualifiers without issues, but I know many teams will struggle to align their schedules with such short notice. Just feels wrong timing to start ECL with few days notice and while FCL group stage is still running hot.

Thanks for the feedback Gents. I'll have to agree it's not an ideal scenario for scheduling and your feedback is noted.

We'll keep an eye on the number of signups for the Wildcards, Pro Qualifiers, and Pro & Elite sign-ups, as ultimately, these factors decide how many games will have to be played. For the Wildcard battles, there are often not enough eligible teams to need an actual Wildcard battle round, whereas for the actual Pro Qualifiers, sometimes, it takes just a couple of rounds, and sometimes, we need 5. This will ultimately decide how much time and urgency there is to play the qualifiers, and we can adjust accordingly.

 

Edit: Also, for context, unfortunately, the planned schedule for the FCL got delayed due to unforeseen circumstances, which is causing this potential collision course with the previously planned ECL schedule. We've looked at options to adjust the ECL, but want to stick to the original plan as best as we can due to the SG World Cup & IIHF break and wanting the season not to go too far into the summer. That being said we are looking at adding some leeway into the ECL regular season end date.
