RE: Captains

Captains have been selected for ZUWC II:
Re: Qualifiers

As the number of teams, 13, makes it impossible to generate pools, the number of teams needs to be cut down to 12. The 3 new teams featured in ZUWC: Latin America, Nordics, and Rest of the World, will take part to the tiebreak. As designing time-boxed and fair qualifiers with 3 teams is not possible, the last place team of last year, US Northeast will join them. The format will be as followed, week 1, two pairs of teams face each others, week 2, the losing teams of each pairings get matched again together, the winless team will be disqualified from the tournament, while the other 3 teams advance to main stage. To avoid tiebreak, the qualifiers will only use 7 slots, akin to qualifiers in WCOP, 4 SV - 1 SS - 1 SM - 1 BW.

Pairings:
Latin America (Gallinova & Airi) vs US Northeast (sleid & BloodAce)
Rest of the World (zastra & Velcroc) vs Nordics (Leni & Quagg)

Captains of teams Latin America, Nordics, Rest of the World, and US Northeast have to submit their lineups to the ZUWC hosts, Akeras and roxie, before the deadline. The deadline is Sunday, 11:00 PM GMT-4. CC: Airi, BloodAce, Leni, Gallinova, sleid, Quagg, Velcroc, zastra

RE: Danny (US South) vs Shiritu (Spain)

Danny and Shiritu scheduled for May 11th 11:30 PM GMT+2. Shiritu appeared for the time, however, Danny wasn’t present in the time window. Danny apologies and proposed a reschedule for anytime and Shiritu agrees on the following Wednesday. No response. Shiritu replies last time on Friday and left with no response. Shiritu is rewarded the activity win against Danny.

RE: Plague (Brazil) vs sol (Nordics)

On May 1st, sol proposed 12-16th as a general range. On May 7th, Plague proposed a time within the range provided. On May 10, sol indirectly confirms it doesn’t works and proposes an alternative on the 11th. Plague confirms it doesn’t work and follows up six days later with no follow-up from sol. Brazil’s managers notably made great efforts in providing windows for a plan in motion to still get the game done instead of it not being played. Sol must be substituted by the Nordics along with efforts to meet the existing time windows so the game can happen.

RE: sinnabyss vs Indulge in dreams

Sinnabyss and Induldge in Dreams scheduled and played on the PS simulator rather than the Smogtours server. Screenshots shows that sinnabyss won the battle, however, the replay wasn’t formally saved thus resulting in no decision. The battle link itself was ruled as unrecoverable after following up with contributors knowledgeable in recovering PS replays. In the event the game does not happen, neither teams will be rewarded any points if there is no documented replay. This means neither teams can be rewarded the win despite the circumstances unless a valid game replay is posted for this series. Please be mindful of the default battling platform as SmogTours autosaves games to prevent games from being lost. Replays are required for all games in ZUWC II and there will be no exceptions as this can happen again.

Result: “sinnabyss vs Indulge in dreams” is declared no winner for the time being despite the existing winpost.
