Banner by European accless

With the previous AVerMedia MGE Cup being a great success back in December, ETF2L has again partnered with AVerMedia to host a monthly MGE cup to sort the men from the boys and find out who reigns supreme!

Not only will you have a glorious pixel trophy boasting of your MGE prowess, you will also be able to get your hands on one Live Gamer HD C985 streaming card per month, generously provided by AVerMedia!

Every month a different combat class will be chosen. Two qualifiers with 128 slots each are held, leading up to the monthly final in the following week. Fight your way to the top 4 of one of the qualifiers and you qualify for the finals, where you will battle it out to win the Live Gamer HD C985 streaming card! More information on AVerMedia streaming hardware for gamers can be found on the Live Gamer HD minisite.

The usual schedule for this tournament series is as follows:

  • 1st Qualifying Bracket: 2nd Tuesday of the month
  • 2nd Qualifying Bracket: 3rd Wednesday of the month
  • Top 8 Monthly Final: 4th Wednesday of the month

Please note that the schedule for April 2013 slightly differs from this setup! More information below!

More up to date information about the cup series, including schedules and rules, can be found on the cup’s hub page.

Which brings us to…

April’s Cup!

In the month of April, we will be focusing on the soldier! Prepare those air shots and jumps as you take on the best of ETF2L to claim your title of the best soldier in Europe ! Should you fail, never fear! This is a recurring cup, meaning once we have gone through the three combat classes, then we shall go through them again… and again, claim as many titles as you can!

Prizes

Winner of the Monthly Final:

1x AVerMedia Live Gamer HD C985

Additionally and as usual, pixel trophies will also be handed out to the top 3 finishers of the monthly final. Every top 4 qualifier will also get a golden trophy for his bracket, no matter if they participate in the monthly final or not.

    We are open to suggestions to improve the pool of arenas. We are also discussing a switch to the beta 8 version of the MGE map, instead of using version 7.

  18. Sideshow: (ETF2L Donator) - ft. - WiK? said:

  19. Kaneco said:

    Great stuff!! Keep them cups coming

  20. CanFo: (Legend) - [HA] - #T4F said:

    I feel, throwing in the ammomod arena would be a bit … odd, as it is a completely different game mode.
    I doubt we are going to make any further changes for this one but if you do not think that having the map arenas + ammomod would be odd, please let us know and we’ll consider it for the next editions.
