Will do.
I just edited the rules for all of the times, I'm not sure if anything else is out of date in the rules, but I will review before the start.
it's incredibly important that everyone joins the discord that is listed in the OP in order to avoid walk over via chat bug. I will not always be responsive on bnet as I am on discord as well.

Aquatia City is going to be added back into the week 2 lineup as we found no mining bugs (the players who got the mining bugs played an older version of the map).
Please make sure that your map pool is always up to date with the zip provided.
I'm removing the clause that doesn't allow for the Americas stand-in to play in the playoff bracket, unfortunately, the activity doesn't seem to be at a point where we can hold this event as EU only. Still, only 1 player from the Americas may participate in a CW.
So: NA/SA players can play for the duration of the league, however, only 1 may participate per CW.
In addition, any player who is not in the discord is unable to claim W.O. It's easy, it's painless, you can do it from a web browser and you can disable all notifications. No chat bug. Get in the Discord.

Done
Also added LuMiX as sas standin as he was requested during the last CW (but wasn't able to play due to not being on the roster). Remember, standin players are allowed to continue playing in the playoff bracket (rules page hasn't yet been updated, but this was posted 2 weeks ago).

Done, Remember: Only 1 standin (Americas) player may play per week.
Everyone, here is the playoff bracket for this league (Winner Bracket first round is for seeding purposes only, so you can ignore that). Cast coming up today is Winner Bracket Round 2!
I noticed today in the PvP on Aquatia City, the distance from the main mineral line to the water at the 3 o'clock spawn is much longer than the distance from the minerals to water at the 6 o'clock spawn. This seems like a positional imbalance as it makes it much safer to harass the mineral line at the 6?

I just looked at if for what you're describing, you're absolutely right. the 3 and 9 oclock are much more difficult to harass from the water. I'm not sure how easy this is going to be to fix though while maintaining equal distances between the nat and the main.
I put it up as feedback to the map maker, depending on how much map layout rework needs to be done, I'm not sure if it'll be worth releasing a new version for this season. I'll see what we can do... It is a pretty significant advantage though.
Guys, for real baning ppl for not playing on properly nick in 2017 when in new patch u can only have 3 acc per server? So if u play in few teams in few leagues + you play in some nation wars, also if u want to keep alive your nick without clan TAG to not be stolen you need to removing and creating your nicknames over and over again every day lol. This is not 1.16 iccup, u cannot have zylion accounts now, just think about it. I am not even talking about semi modern bnet where you have battletags and u you are able to verify identity by it. Shame on you.

The issue was raised after the violation. It could have been discussed before. The player went into game knowing it was against the rules rather than asking about it first. In this case, you can argue that it is a bad rule, but I must still apply it.
It was intended to be enforced for all of the playoffs, but my earlier warnings weren't fruitful, so I went with more direct action this week. It was brought up multiple times before the suspensions were issued and brought up specifically to the leaders in the CW chats.
Well, I'm not here to start a war, but you said you may be late for the start of the match, therefore why would I raise the topic before?
The situation was as it follows: I see Draco logging on Battle.net like 4 minutes before the deadline. I ask Draco if he can make an NW account. Draco responses that he has already 3 accounts being used. I make the decision to allow Draco use his TAGLESS account
Because sure as hell I'm not gonna force Draco to remove one of his accounts just because of some bureaucracy thing. That would be inapropriate, that would be silly, that wouldn't be right. Just no.
Now I understand that you specifically asked players to not use other tags, but I'm sure at that time you didn't know about the 3 accounts per server rule. Otherwise you would be forcing players to remove their accounts without any way to recover their time spent on a specific account. I'm asking you to revise the decision. Since both finalists are equally weakened by this rule, I think there is no harm done in allowing them to play in the grand finals.
I think appearances contribute significantly to a clan league - players should be dedicated enough to their clan to save 1 nickname.
If another season was planned, I would stick to the ruling because I think showing clan spirit is important and I think following the rules is important especially when it is announced 3 weeks in a row in increasing detail. Given there is no plan for another season I'm allowing the teams to do what they want and have both players play.
This league was made for the players, so I'll allow the players to play it how they want it for the final.

None planned I don't really have time on Fridays and I can only realistically admin every other weekend. It was fun though! - It's also very hard to uphold my end of a sponsorship with the current scene - so I would also have to get a sponsor with far lesser numbers than I've ever had in terms of thread viewership and what not.
All of the teams who played this season we're very easy to work with and we have a more competitive group than I've ever seen in a clan league 5 of 7 playoff matches so far went to 5 games.

You mean to say, you can't find the results where it says "Playoff Bracket"? O_O
If you want more detail than that + VODs, then maybe you should volunteer to create a liquipedia page. The alternative would be to suffer in silence.
I mean there is no place where ppl can find results with games list, like in #1 "results" spoiler section with was probably designed for - by you. But whatever, as u wish.
