5th Cup & Soldier 1on1 Cup + prize money announcement – Season 4 awards: nomination phase – Fun Cups’ Quarter Finals

5th Cup

The fourth issue of the probably most popular 6on6 cup ended a few weeks ago. Team Dignitas again showed their strength by winning their third cup title against Team CoolerMaster in the final. But will they manage to defend this title against 255 other TF2 teams?

The 5^th ETF2L Cup is starting soon and with a doubled up slot size of 256 possible participants. Every interested TF2 team which has suitable pings on European servers is invited to take part in the biggest European TF2 cup ever. Fixtures will be randomly generated by our IRC bot which will give lower skilled teams the chance not to meet a top team in the first rounds… :)

Soldier 1on1 Cup – 50 € winner takes all tournament

Some time ago we finally found a way how we can gain some money for our competitions. Sadly it’s not enough for a decent 6on6 tournament yet, so we have decided for some unconventional prize money tournament: a Soldier 1on1 Cup.

Who is the best Soldier in Europe and will take home a total cash prize of 50 € against 255 other participants? This will be decided in the upcoming weeks on the most favorite duel map “duel_duel2_pro”. Get yourself a new rocket launcher and start training duels!
