With the LAN just 6 days away - we're combing through the ECL videos and reuploading some of our favorite matches. It's been a fantastic tournament, so let's relive some of the best moments in the run up to the LAN finale!
The bottom seed gets the very first pick from all civs. Whatever they pick is theres and no one else can take it. The second from bottom seed then picks second from the remaining civs. And so on. The top seed goes last and in theory gets the worst civ. They stick with their picks for the entire weekend tournament.

Just to reiterate what was said in the intro. With the NWC & ECL over, our plan is to move away from uploading giant VODs and focus more on highlights & individual games that YouTube are much more likely to recommend. Basically, whenever we upload a video we want our viewers to know it'll be worth watching.
Aizamk always seems to deliver on entertainment and has performed particularly well in previous Smackdowns. His many years of practicing unusual builds and playing that unique style of his seems to pay off big time whenever he's playing an unusual format like this. Is it all his experience with unusual cards & timings? Or has he just learned to adapt to whatever situation he finds himself in? Eitherway... I think we're all looking forward to seeing how he handles two TCs!
It will also be exciting to see Somppukunkku play! The SKG have been underrepresented at New World Championship... Somppu didn't sign up due to real life commitments during the LAN finals. But we will get to see what he's made on Saturday! Somppu was quick to sign up to this smackdown which by the way... has Ceylon in the map pool twice! This makes me think he's not afraid of this peculiar island map. Has he played it before? Do him and PrinceofKabul secretly practice Ceylon together during romantic nights in? No one knows... but I do expect his Sepoys to move with confidence there.
