ESL Winter League 2012

From the ESL website:

The Winter League is now just around the corner, so here is the list with maps and the link to download the maps! There are also some other minor updates. Check this out and find out more about this amazing league!

Date: Groupstage starts on 15th January, 2011, 2 matches per week (thu and sun, 20:00 CET - movable)
Mode: 8 groups/6 players; Best of 2 maps (rounds win, in Groupstage)
Restrictions: valid Maniaplanet ID entered

We have decided that, as announced in the first news, the first 48 players who signed up, will be playing the league.
If you're one of them and you changed your mind about playing, please write a ticket, so we can make sure someone else will be able to play in your place. This option is live until 15th January 20:00 CET.

The following maps will be played in the groupstage. The tracks for the finals, semi-finals and playoffs will be released later on. Note: You have to play the matches on two maps. The player with the most points wins. A draw is possible! (example: 7-4, 4-7) So you don't have to play a decider map in the groupstage phase.

Tracks of the Groupstage: ESL-World by siggar, ESL-NN and ESL-bare break by haenry, ESL-Serenity by kamakaze and ESL-CrossBoost by draft. Thanks guys!
