Gauging interest in WECL 2 in late summer

[Claudi27]

Hello,

As ECL 12 gets underway for most divisions, it's time to start drawing the future of our domestic league after a successful inaugural season.

Ideally we will use this thread to discuss the dates and viability of running the WECL 2 after the ECL 12 and before NHL 22 comes out, while Format and Rules are also allowed to be discussed here if you have some questions or suggestions.

 

While we don't have genuine information on this detail yet, we're expecting NHL 22 to come out around mid October (NHL 21 was Oct. 13) and the ECL Pro to finish 28/7. This leaves us with the calendar empty of NHLGamer competition at least through all of August and September.

 

On to the actual question in this thread, you can vote the option you feel the most close to at the moment, so we have a good idea if people actually want to play during these dates.

 

Regarding format, our idea is to mantain the pace of the league of 2 gamedays per week and split the overall table from the inaugural season into top and bottom divisions, instead of groups A/B.

Our local/foreign and skill cap rules from season 1 could be revised.

 

Last, if season 2 doesn't happen after ECL 12 in NHL21, the next available window will be after ECL 13 on NHL 22.

Keep in mind the WECL 2 could be the last tournament played on PS4 before we all make the jump to new gen.

I can't speak for the majority but imo playing in August seems to be complicated, maybe impossible in some cases

Gentlemen,

Thank you all for chipping into the talk.

We're optimistic S2 can happen this summer. It's obvious playing during this time can be problematic as people might be on holidays, but due to laid back nature of this competition of 2 opponents per week perhaps teams short of players during august can move these games around the schedule (as long as the opponent agrees ofc) to find a better date

League format is intended to be split into top and bottom divisions. 

What's on the table currently regarding local/foreign rule and skill cap is:

On both divisions at least half of your roster has to be of local origin, no 2-man limit

No skill cap on top division, Lite or worse skill limit for foreign players in division 2

We hope to come out with an updated rulebook during June.

You can share any questions, comments or concerns via this thread or using the support tool.

Thanks!
