One Night Cup: Schedule Update & Season 11 Award Nominations

One Night Cup: Saffron Unlocks – Moved

The one-night cup will be moved from tonight to Tuesday April 10, due to the original schedule clashing with Angel’s Cup at Esports Heaven. We apologise for the short notice announcement but we believe this is for the better because all teams should have a chance to play in both tournaments.

But there is more news on this cup! Newly crowned Season 11 champions  Team Infused will generously sponsor their prizes to the finalists of this cup, which means that the winning team will receive six Tt eSPORTS MEKA G-UNIT Keyboards, and the second placed team wins six Tt eSPORTS Battle Dragon Bags!

This could have been the second chance for Season 11 runner-up  Epsilon eSports to grab the keyboards BUT there is another change to the ruleset of this tournament! All participating teams must not play with more than 3 players with division 2 (or higher) experience in ETF2L Seasons 10! or 11 (or respectively other leagues) and the cups are no longer separated into brackets of 16.

Currently there are about 40 teams on the waiting list so we expect a turnout of at least 64 slots. Teams that already signed up stay signed up (please check if you meet the new requirements). If you can not play at the new date please let an admin know on IRC. Grab yourself the upcoming talents and win some gaming gear!

• ETF2L Season 11 rules apply (apart from the unlock ruleset)
