CB NationsCup XV reaches playoffs

Event: CB NationsCup XV
Game: Counter-Strike 1.6

ClanBase has released the matchups for the NationsCup XV playoffs, twenty-four teams have been cut down to twelve, who will now play best-of-three matchups to determine the season winner.

The group stage came to a close yesterday when Sweden defeated Russia, meaning the time has come to move on to the playoffs. The playoffs will be played best-of-three maps in a single elimination bracket, with the teams finishing first in their groups receiving a BYE in the first round.

Last season's winners from France did not make the cut to the playoffs as finishing fifth in their group, so a new champion will be found this season. Three out of four Scandinavian nations topped their group, Norway in group A, Sweden in group B and Finland in group D. Ukraine topped group C, in front of Slovakia and Poland.

ClanBase today announced the bracket for the playoffs and the teams will schedule the matches themselves, so expect to see the first matches from next week already. The matchups for round one are as follows:

Norway vs. BYE
Russia vs. Netherlands
Denmark vs. Slovakia
Finland vs. BYE
Ukraine vs. BYE
Portugal vs. UK
Poland vs. Bulgaria
Sweden vs. BYE

Click here to view the bracket and you will obviously be able to follow all of the matches right here on HLTV.org.

Nicky you are top joker :D .. why you changed playoff ? :).. First we MUST play matches and other teams not, now this...This is really shit
2012-03-17 17:34:49
How can you say that I changed something!? Nobody changed anything...playoff tree layout has been like that for years. You should have just checked the rules which you obviously didn't.

2012-03-18 12:29:08
Rules are there from the start of the cup (and can't be changed, and I can't change), so just read it.
