AVerMedia MGE Cup
(banner by huhy)
Brackets are live here!
It’s time to show off those dueling skills you’ve been gaining in the uncountable hours you spent on MGE! With the help of AVerMedia, ETF2L is pleased to announce a tri-class MGE cup!
This cup has a special twist to it – in addition to a hardware prize for first place, there will be two additional prizes for players who stream or record their matches!
For those of you not familiar to the concept of MGE: it is a gamemode where players play 1 vs 1 matches to practise and improve their deathmatch skills. More info about MGE…
Streamer Prizes
For this cup, we encourage players of all skill levels to experiment with capturing their gameplay on video – the Streamer Prizes will be available only to players who stream at least 75% of their cup matches. If you’ve never tried streaming before, now is the perfect opportunity to try it out – 
Skyride has written a wonderful guide that should get you started in no-time!
If your internet connection is not powerful enough to stream your gameplay, you can record your cup matches with Fraps or a similar program and upload them to Youtube – these will count as streamed.
Prizes
Winner:
1x AVerMedia Live Gamer HD C985
Streamer Prize (x2):
AverMedia T-Shirt
The Streamer Prize will be awarded to the two highest-placing participants who streamed and/or recorded at least 75% of their matches, regardless of their final position in the cup. If two or more participants are tied for the same position, they will play a decider match with the same setup as the final.

Servers
Cup matches may be played on any server running the latest version of the MGE mod and the map mge_training_v7 as long as both players agree. Locally hosted and public servers are allowed.
In case teams cannot agree on a server, the match may be played on one of the ETF2L league servers.
Special rules
- Status screenshots are not required.
- Out of unlockable weapons, only The Original and reskins are permitted.
- Only players who record at least 75% of their matches are eligible for the Streamer Prize.
- All players must record personal demos in case of disputes. A video recording of the match counts as a POV demo.
Note: P-Rec will not work in MGE – you should record demos manually.
Signups
Signups are open to everyone – head on to the Competitions page!
You’ll need to be the leader of a 1v1 team to be able to sign up. You can find a step-by-step guide on team creation on the FAQ page.

Stream guide link doesn’t work oO
pennyfarming has copyright on mge tournies. etf2l copycats
The link works for me
tri-class is an odd decision, all it’ll lead to is loads of rounds being decided by who is the best at stickies once you get into the higher rounds…seems retarded to me.
I would personally prefer the 3rd round (demoman here) being you play your winning class 1v1, so if you won at the scout round you play scout v the soldier etc. Much more interesting.
Or just bo3 with free class choice anyways?
no because then whoever picks demoman wins anyway, stickies > everything
I like it the way it is. Requires skill at all classes if you want to compete.
P-REC still works on MGE, just use “prec_record” and you can record + bookmark anywhere.
Scout vs soldier in higher levels could be very unbalanced, specially in higher levels and specially in maps with great height advantages. The scout would be screwed
Especially with tf2 net code…
The scout normally wins the higher level you get, but it’s still pretty even.
the only map a scout can win a soldier is badlands middle, all other maps are 100 percent in favour of the soldier (unless the solly is wank)
^ viaduct middle also good for scouts

Nice. gonna be some controversy about some tactics though, such as counterjumping. Always is.
snakewater middle is also better for scouts than soldiers, but yeah granary middle and spire aren’t really viable for that

I remember during ESEA-I S11 watching a Pyyyour stream where shrugger beat both ww and harbleu on spire scout v soldier.
or was it s10.. anyway, mihaly’s flow
pennyfarming will win this… if not, he will steal the prizes. all hail pennyfarming
Starting at 20:00 :(
If I record demos and make a fragvid, does it count or do they have to be full matches?
Also, demoman in MGE… (LAWLSTICKIES)
Demoman versus demoman should be in directs aka no splash arena in my opinion.
Very glad to see old and well-known sponsor – AVerMedia.
MightyMe to win this cup because good at soldier and demoman.
@MInd; they have to be full matches – as if it was streamed.
you dont use stickies in mge… what fucking part of tf2 did you play in
can’t sign up: “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”
already full?
DerMilchmann: Sounds like you are not logged in or do not have a 1v1 team.
You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page. :D
what tarkus said
Crap didn’t noticed the fact of having to be on a 1v1 team now I’m late to signup D:
You can still signup, I don’t think that it will start today..
Thank you so much for an email remainder!
Stickies are very “fun” to play with and against.
