This is how the Meltdown City Clash will award points
Following the release of our new Points Awarding settings (read more here), the popular eSports Bar franchise Meltdown will use one of them for its in-house League of Legends competition, the Meltdown City Clash – Winter Edition, starting this week.
12 Meltdown bars from different cities will face each other, calling their own customers to arms.
Meltdown’s tournament director opted for a quite refreshing way to award points.
Based on a “Best of 5″ format and using “Match Score” setting, each match will thus award up to 5 points for the winner, as each won game means one point. This approach will make each series more exciting until the last game, as opposed to boring games when one opponent reaches the traditional 3 points mark.
