Wouldn't having quarter-finals be a tiny bit more exciting?
Bascially, the knockout stage is only in place as a stafety mechanism in case the ladder doesn't sort itself properly, so we don't end up with let's say the unsatisfying results we had in past tournaments. As we've written in the Introduction thread, with the Warband Native League we aim to provide a different tournament experience compared to for example the European Championship Series or the Nations Cup. Therefore we want to keep the knockout stage as short as possible, which in our case meant 2 matches at maximum.CarpeDiem said:
We'll release more information on how the final stage of the tournament will play out shortly in the rules.
Why is desolation valley back? It's the most cancerous map we've ever had and like everyone hated it??

We felt like the map pools of recent tournaments were going to much towards mixed maps, and closed and open maps kind of lost their identity. We had a rather long discussion within the admin team, and decided we want to give Desolation Valley one last chance. The hate for the map is pretty much based on one single, unfortunate match with an unbalanced faction setup. I'm confident it will play out nicely with decent faction setups.Menethil said:
I love desolation, one of my favorite maps, would love to see it back.
Desolation Valley is one of the most unbalanced maps ever played in a tournament. Might as well play random plains
I remember Desolation Valley from WNL5 two years ago. Played it with my team back then 3 or 4 times, yet I can only say we had fun, tho we actually had fun on every map we played xD
Can't recall any bad experiences, but I'd really like to see "new" maps used in this tournament (as I'm pretty sure Desolation Valley hasn't been played since WNL5).
Maybe we can get some scrims organized with streams, so that everyone can get an impression, and play some sets on this with different fixtures? Most teams would have to train on this map anyway. Same goes with Legacy Plains, I've seen some screenshots and it kinda looked like a Random Plain

Frosty battle could be decent if you block off the hills. It might be worth using this time before the tournament starts to make an investment in the scene and start revamping old maps. Could make some community livestreams where the chat can suggest changes to the map editor etc. Vendetta, Desert Town, Deso Valley and Frosty are all decent maps at their core and some minor changes can really help improve them and add more depth to the competitive scene.
