Turbine Cup powered by Tt eSports
April 27, 2014
UPDATE: The map has been updated with a small bugfix to ctf_turbine_pro_rc4 – this will be the version used in the cup! DOWNLOAD HERE
To kick off Season 18 and to give teams an opportunity to play ctf_turbine_pro_rc4, updated recently by 
Starkie, before the actual season, we decided to create this very cup. It will also give teams new to ETF2L a chance to try out the whole ‘official match’ process and result submission before the actual season – hopefully decreasing the amount of issues during the actual season.
There will be, depending on the number of signups, several brackets to accommodate different skill levels, each consisting of four groups of four teams each. This group stage will be played on Sunday, May 4th. The top two teams from each group will proceed into the knockout stages on Tuesday, May 6th. If any tiebreakers are needed after the group stages, they will be played on Monday, May 5th.
Both standard 6v6 and fun teams are eligible to enter the cup and can sign up here. Don’t forget that two default mercs will be allowed so your 6v6 team might just be viable after all!
Sign ups will close on Saturday, May 3rd, at 12:00CEST or when there’s a total of 128 sign ups, whichever occurs first. Teams signing up after either will be considered as replacement teams for teams dropping on short notice!
There will also be shiny pixel trophies for the top four teams of each bracket!
The exact schedule is as follows:
Group Stages – Sunday, May 4th
- 20:00 – Round 1
- 20:45 – Round 2
- 21:30 – Round 3
Tiebreakers – Monday, May 5th
- 20:00 (teams can play at an alternative time on Monday if both teams agree)
Knockout Stages – Tuesday, May 6th
- 20:00 – Quarter-Finals
- 20:45 – Semi-Finals
- 21:30 – Finals
Because it is a cup, two mercs are allowed by default (and up to three if the opponents agree)!
Standard ETF2L CTF rules will apply for this cup, which you can find in more detail on our General Rules page. In short: Best of three rounds of timelimit 10 and winlimit 5. First team to score two rounds wins the map. If after three rounds there is no winner (final result being 1-1 or 0-0), a Golden Cap will be played. The team to first capture the intel during that GC wins the whole map.
Please make sure all of your players have the map downloaded and your server is using the 6v6 s18 configs & whitelist, take extra care to ensure you are using the correct settings for Capture The Flag!
Feedback can be left on the ETF2L forum thread – stark has also listed the small changes he’s made to Turbine in this latest version there as well.

Is this supposed to be a big joke?
Why is there a cup held for a map that was already played dozens of seasons ago?
This is beyond my grasp, this is just stupid.
What were the map changes?
why is 05.04. like the comp.tf ultiduo cup?
Is it really that hard to understand Selo?
The map is in the map pool for Season 18, so this is a chance to practise it, see how it’s played, potentially play it for the first time.

“Is this supposed to be a big joke?

Maybe because years ago the current players in ETF2L of all divs never played it before? Just a subtle hint?

Wonder if it’s good now.
Will Turbine be taken out of S18 if only div6 teams sign up?
wtf gay homosexual
hope stark can make good
RC4 released after we made the announcement to fix some minor bugs. New download link in the newspost.
Worst. Cup. Ever.
Why can’t fun teams play?
nvm, fonexia is retarded and lied to me
They can but: “Signing up a fun team will require you to contact an admin on IRC to sign it up manually.”
Why did they make it that way? i cant even dream of a valid reason.
I don’t get all the hate on turbine.
How about people shut up about not liking turbine already, it’s in the season and it’s better than playing yet another average/bad 5cp map like metalworks, I for one look forward to this cup.
People are just mad they don’t know the map and don’t wanna learn a new one. Turbine is tons of fun in my opinion and it’s something different. I think CTF is far more fun than CP or Koth. More intense and far more dynamic.
YOUR OPINIONS ARE WRONG
“Why did they make it that way? i cant even dream of a valid reason.”
There was an issue of incompetence on our side with the backend, we somewhat worked around that now and you should be able to add fun teams yourself too.
You all wanted a cup, be happy and stop complaining.
30 keys for the winning team.
This will be good fun
Turdbine? Why not hydro?
Can’t wait for dustbowl next season.
I liked the idea..
just make normal brackets, please
bah
engie + heavy + sniper mid holds imminent.
sounds fun tbh
I just don’t get all the hatred towards the turbine. Loved it ever since the release, and think it’s a lot of fun.
“engie + heavy + sniper mid holds imminent.”
it’s your fault if you allow them to hold mid like that
if you play faster it’s not a problem
LOL the people complaining in this league are still entitled div6 shitters.
wp ETF2L, wp.
Is this gonna be streamed cause i’d love to know how to play turbine comp
