One Night Cup – A Blast from the Past

Date December 11, 2013

OVERVIEW

Have you ever wondered what the league was like when old-school players first started? It is often said that the past is better than the present, could this apply to TF2? It is time for you to decide, welcome to a world without hats!

SCHEDULE AND CUP FORMAT

Signups are now open until 17th December at 23:59 CET. The cup will be played on Wednesday 18th starting at 20.00 CET. The participating teams will be divided into brackets of 16 according to skill level. The cup will be played in single elimination format with all matches played on the same night. However, the finals can be scheduled for another day! As this is a One Night Cup, both 6on6 and Fun Teams are allowed to participate.

  • 20:00 CEST – Round of 16 Starts (ctf_2fort)
  • 20:45 CEST – Quarter-Finals Start (cp_well)
  • 21:30 CEST – Semi-Finals Start (cp_gravelpit)
  • Played before 24th December – Final (Bo3: cp_granary, ctf_turbine, cp_dustbowl as a decider if necessary)

RULES

  • Matches will be played with a class limit 2 (including demoman) excluding the medic, classlimit 1.
  • No unlocks allowed. (Reskins are) You can find the whitelist here
  • You should use S1 Config.
  • Like in every cup, 2 mercs are allowed by default.
  • Maps: 2fort, well, granary and turbine must be played with timelimit 30 (this means with windifference 0 and winlimit 0) while gravelpit and dustbowl will be played in Bo1 round format.
  • In case neither team owns a server, ETF2L can provide you with a server, thanks to our partner Hypernia (request an ETF2L server here). Alternatively you can borrow one from serveme.tf (credits to Arie) by simply login with your steam account, don’t forget to select the right config (etf2ls1) and whitelist (In Item Whitelist you should pick Whitelist.tf and introduce the number 142).

Prepare your time machine and sign up now!

  14. Vladi: TIDS said:

    can fun teams participate?

  15. Vladi: TIDS said:

    oh, read comments first. thx.

  16. Monkeh: .:ne:. - .:ne:. said:

    Can we get the un-shootable stickies back as well? That’s where the real men used to play, carpets of stickies from the 2 demos and no way to get rid…

    Ahh, the olden days.

    Nice idea.

  17. Arie: (serveme.tf) - FB - [FB] said:

    Monkeh, I liked the short period where shot stickies gave ammo better :D

  18. Angel said:

    1. Un-shootable stickies for Demos.
    2. Disable reflecting for Pyros.
    3. Standard setup phase at cp_granary.
    4. Two-ways 2nd respawn at cp_well.

    So this will isn’t “a blast from the past”. In good etf2l traditions admins can ban any team that refuses to play this strange cup. Ban or play! :D

    + 5. 225 HP for pyros?! (Pyro Kodyl <3)

    Bring goldrush/warmfront/fastlane/obscure (snowy) back

  21. Lazybear: MUUQ - itsallgood said:

    is random crits on?

  22. Clark: SDCK! said:

    Lazy, random crits have always been disabled in competitive matches as far as I can remember.

  23. Clark: SDCK! said:

    And there is little I remember from those days cuz I was playing on publics mostly, so forget what I’ve said :D

  24. Lazybear: MUUQ - itsallgood said:

    Clark tf2 used to have crits that was not possible to disable, however i think that predates etf2l.org.

  25. calm``: DANMARK said:

    oh the memories… i really miss cp_well

  26. Setlet said:

    I think we should ban even reskins. To have the most nostalgia possible (not for me though :/)

  27. Caeli: #T4F said:

    @Setlet: We thought about that, but imagine all those soldiers who don’t know how to play without The Original.

  28. Kaneco said:

    no fastlane or freight ? :((((

    Great idea! :D Sounds like a lot of fun!

  29. ashkan said:

    t-t-t-…. teufort? Is this real life?

  30. Brassie said:

    Just a side note, the whitelist file has some an odd unlock:

  31. agron: Relic said:

    @Kaneco: freight and fastlane are not enough old school

  32. Wiethoofd: (Newswriter) - LvG said:

    @Brassie, Festive reskins of not allowed unlocks should be fixed now.

    Reskins of reskins (Gold Frying Pan/Festive Fish are currently not allowed in this whitelist, because there is no exception to handle those yet)

  33. Brassie said:

    I spoke to kkaltuu yesterday, and he said he was going to re-do the whitelist, so should be fine for the cup.

  34. Wiethoofd: (Newswriter) - LvG said:

    @Brassie, why speak to kKaltUu if he doesn’t have access to the code that generates the whitelists on whitelist.tf…. I (creator of whitelist.tf) fixed the handling of (festive/botkiller) reskins, which explains my previous post.

    Sounds nice guys!

  36. Selek: Dr. med. said:

    Is TFTrue a necessity for the servers used? If not, random crits are may not be disabled in the S1 config.

  37. Selek: Dr. med. said:

    Oh, and have you considered banning hats/accessories?

  38. Selek: Dr. med. said:

    Triple post, sorry. Disregard my last comment, I was blind.
