GCS2 World Cup Clashes Guide - Overlord Intermission

Which moron organised our huge community project's qualifying tournaments to clash with the FIFA World Cup?

Here's a rough guide to clashes so you can plan around it and record the games you want to watch and not miss a moment of CoH2 goodness

I did it in MS Paint at work, the games with purple score boxes are on whilst GCS2 QTs are.

Show Spoiler





Due to a lot of CoH fans/players also being football fans - There will be an intermission in the third Qualification Tournament finals, to allow the FIFA World Cup to play, so that fans can watch both.

Overlord Finals (Day 2) new start time

To allow for this the Semi Finals will Start at 12:00 BST (2 hours earlier). There will then be up to four hours of play.

If there is an NA player this semi-final will be the second to play to account for the earlier start time. This would not be expected to play before 14:00 BST.

As with Citadel final everything will be in sequence, SF1, SF2, 3rd place, Final.

Intermission start time

No game will not be start after 15:20 (within 40 minutes of World Cup Final kickoff). If a game is in progress the intermission will start as soon as that game is completed.

Intermission Duration

The intermission should last around 2 hours, and the earliest play will resume is 18:00 BST, although could be later than 18:00 if the WC goes to extra time/ penalties.

During the intermission the GCS2 Overlord stream will stay live in intermission mode, and CoH fans can talk about football whilst the WC Final is played.

Group F for the win!

They only respond to bribes and currently our budget is very finely balanced

Group stage games tend to be boring as shit anyways. I watched every single match of the 2010/14 world cups and it was really hard to get through some of them. I think the worst was japan vs kamerun or something. Honda scored the winning goal for Japan but that match was played on german third division level basically.

I don't mind it clashing with the cup in general. But why does it have to clash with the final?

Well the soccer cup will be over before the live events starts.

They're stupid, they're just depriving themselves of viewers.
