European League of Pixels Cup

## About

The European League of Pixels Cup, hosted by Discord user QTX, is a tournament exclusive for participants from Europe or nearby regions (Max of 8 players) with a Group Stage before the top 2 players from each group proceed to the Semifinals. The tournament starts at 15:00 - 17:00 CET on May 30, 2021.

The tournament has concluded! The champion of this tournament is **CBlossom**, the 1st seed of Group B, that swept his way to the Finals where he met last tournament's champion and the 1st seed of Group A, Qtx, in a 3:0 sweep.

## Tournament Rules

The following rules are made by QTX himself:

- The Group Stage consists of 2 groups, Group A and Group B, where 4 players will be put in to compete with one another. All players get to fight one another, then the top 2 players will move on to the Semifinals.

- The Group Stage will be Bo1, the Semifinals will be Bo3, and the Grand Finals will be Bo5.

- Before the match, both players get to have 2 champion bans. The banning rules follow the 1st Tournament's rules but has a different system for the bans (1 Ban → 2 Bans → 1 Ban). After the match, *the loser gets to ban first.*

If the you *get the side you want*, **you get to choose who bans first**.

 3. You ban last | 3. Opponent bans last

If the you *don't get the side you want*, the **opposing player gets to ban first**.

After banning, both players will blind pick their champions, meaning that mirror matches are possible.

## Group Stage

4 Players will be put in a group to compete, and the top 2 players from that group get to advance to the Semifinals.
