Introduction
The Altitude Proleague 2009 is the second competitive Altitude League since the release of the full game. It follows the same format as the previous Altitude Summer League 2009, in that it consists of 5v5 TBD matches played on various maps in a best-of-3, 5, or 7 series (depending on the round). A team must show up with at least four players in order to play the match, otherwise they must forfeit. Teams showing up with four players must get the other team's consent in order to play. Forfeited games count as a 0:2 loss for the team, and if a team earns two forfeit losses in separate weeks of the season it is disqualified. Points are awarded based on number of rounds won. If a team wins a match it counts as three points, and if it wins one round but loses the match it earns one point. At the end of the season, teams are ranked and seeded based on the number of points that they won.
After the initial season, ACE was the favorite to win the playoffs as they went undefeated before being seeded. The Altitude Summer League 2009 Champions - the Faggy Little Bears - were knocked into the elimination bracket rather early in the playoffs and as such it appeared as if ACE would win without too much of a fight from the other teams. However, fLb fought their way to the finals to play ACE in a rematch from the finals of last season. The Bears appeared very close to defeat as they were losing 3-0 in the best out of seven initial finals series, but rallied to win the game 4-3. Because ACE was in the winners bracket of the double-elimination tournament, the team got another chance to battle fLb for the final honor. However, the Faggy Little Bears lost the second best of seven series 4-0, leaving Air Force ACE the winners of the Altitude Proleague 2009.
Map Pool
The map pool for the Altitude Proleague 2009 is: Grotto, Mayhem, Woods, Middleground, The Core, Cave, Asteroids, Lost City, Locomotion, and Fallout. All of these are currently official maps with Hills again being the only official map excluded from the league. The maps are also a suitable size for 5v5 play.
