*blows off dust* “Is this thing still alive?”
It seems almost everyone has forgotten ETF2L used to host something else than Highlander and 6s. But ask 
Tek and he’ll proudly tell you about times past, where he and T-Mac were Europe’s best at Ultiduo.
Don’t despair, we’re proud to announce The ETF2L Ultiduo Cup #5 Powered By: Tt eSPORTS!
Requirements: A 2v2 team that’s able to play April 9th, 10th and possibly the 12th!
SIGNUPS ARE CLOSED
You can now only get on the waiting list
Prizes
This cup couldn’t have been possible if we didn’t have an amazing group of sponsors.
First of them, Tt eSPORTS has been generous enough to hook up the finalists with some sweet hardware. Namely:
The winners will receive two Thermaltake Core V1 mini ITX chassis!

The new Core V1 represented by Thermaltake is a small and cute ITX based chassis with a 200mm fan in the front panel. Smart interchangeable side panels allow users to flip it accordingly to showcase either for superior liquid cooling or superb airflow, which allows you to make your own personal setup. You not only grant to have a really powerful mini system, it also has the ability to house various overclocking components to keep it really cool!
The runners-up team will be able to collect two Tt eSPORTS Talon Blu mice!

The TALON Blu gaming mouse features an AVAGO 3050 optical sensor, with up to 3000 DPI, and a blue LED lighting accents. It offers good stability and accuracy via great tracking precision and a high max speed. The TALON Blu has an ergonomic, ambidextrous shape, making it great for both left and right handed users.
Tt eSPORTS will take care of shipment to one address per team. Teams will be asked to provide shipping information, shipping only starts if the entire form is filled in.
TF2pickup.net‘s 
Wiethoofd (home of European pickups including ultiduo) will provide ingame items and keys.
And last (but not least!) the community saint Arie will provide serveme.tf donator access and a bunch of keys!
The following setup will be used:

#kkaltuuleaks strikes again
I think you should use the original ultiduo map as well, other than that thanks for the cup
i got my hands on one of those cases from last seasons Tt winnings and its really nice!
Smzi: You got the bigger brother, Core V21 ;)
Kaneco, that’s why we asked around. Eventually it was decided that using one map for all stages would be more beneficial for the quality of the cup. Hopefully I can cook up a format for the next cup with more maps (seclusion, koth_ultiduo, gully and ninecicles)
sam, I’ve been looking at it as well, seems like a really good case for LAN or as a HTPC, put a big ass fan at the front, a decent heat sink at the CPU, 2 smaller fans at the back and boy you’ve got a decent and mobile rig.

FailFish
no idea what ultiduo div i am. or how is it meant?
will this be divided in divs, or just a mashup?
baloo is boring
hype! also thumbs up for baloo
no medals :(
MGETimus to win!
Add the medals for top3 and participants and it’s gonna make for a great cup :D
Medals or not medals? And about of Ultiduo Cup excellent.
no medals
Baloo only, no medals :’c
Killers of eternal armageddon to devour
some league admin explain to me how the division system works/is meant for the signup. Is it gonna be divided in divs?
no divs, just skill v skill
but why do i have to choose a div when signing up?

signup error: You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page. http://etf2l.org/wp/wp-admin/index.php?page=comps
u dont have a 2v2 team lol, thats why u cant sign up
Why the hell is Crossbow allowed?
okay thanks I signed up now
good job now people want to get second because wtf do you do with a case when you already have one for the pc you’re playing the cup with?!
Everyone wants to get second because nobody has a mouse yet?!
Please tell me what prize (bar cash) a hardware company could possibly offer that the winners do not already own in some shape or form :D
if u get 1st place and win the case just sell it or gift it to a friend it u dont need it, i dont see a problem
About medals: It takes at least 6 months for Valve to process medal requests. Instead ETF2L, Tt eSPORTS, TF2Pickup and Serveme offer (better) alternative prizes.
You’re able to select divisions because the system “thinks” group stages are a season. We’ll seed the teams into random groups.
If you’re not happy with your hardware prizes, add me on steam and I’ll be happy to accept them for free.
Also, some people do not have a chassis for their PC.

Beautiful.
LOL
+ making it big
+ prizes
-baloo is not ultiduo, fun but not ultiduo…(all about airshots / shotgun / crossbow)
-too big because it needs 3 days :/
Cannot guarantee it atm, but there might be ingame medals.
+1 old map was much better
100% agreed with T-Mac
Should have used r_b7 if you wanted only 1 map, if you’re gonna make it more maps in the rotation the order of decency probably goes:
rb7
baloo
seclusion
gully
niceicles at the bottom but I wouldn’t even put it in, even gully is a bit too meh to have in a tournament.
Daddy needs a new pair of shoess!!!!
Ultiduo baloo is the best map that this cup could possibly have.
Learn to airshot maybe?
You should really make medals for these kind of cups
Medals for these types of cups are fucking pointless. Just be grateful you have the possibility of rewards in a FREE tournament.
Yeah just make medals. It’s so easy, not like it takes an enormous amount of effort and time to design and get valve to implement a custom ultiduo medal into the game.
Ultiduo baloo is the worst map that this cup could possibly have.
Learn to ultiduo maybe?

looking for a soldier with a SPINE, sickening
I don’t need to learn it. Playing medic.
Great idea to have the group stage and default HL matchday on the same day. Now the glorious ultiduo cup won’t be tainted by all the HL peasants.
so many teams are going to be getting default wins in this competition. Was meant to be playing with the solly from my team, but default match day is Thursday for hl….
That is because out of all submitted dates from both teams, thursday was the closest overlapping date+window.
If your leader didn’t submit thursday as a playable date your match would’ve had a different default date.
Thinking that thursday is a specific default day in swiss means you have to re-read the FAQ. You are able to submit 3 days and time windows you can play on. If neither overlaps the date is set to a neutral one. The admins don’t control the play days, the teams do.
Please read http://etf2l.org/help/swiss-system-faq/

Why are signups closed so early ? I was really convinced they only closed at the end of today and I missed my signup :(
I was hoping at 128 teams to sign up, we kind of broke that number.
264 teams haha
Kinda disappointing to close the signups about two days early without announcing that there’s a limit to the amount of teams that can sign up.
ikr
So no more signups?
Signups will be open but anyone signing up after the initial 256 will be placed on a waiting list. If teams drop out or don’t have enough players 1 hr before the match we’ll add in teams from the waiting list.
I’m impressed you managed to come up with so many famous duos to name groups after :D
so how does one signup for the waiting list?
By signing up like you usually would
Dat names of the groups.
Word got back from Valve… :)
Are the medals for 1st, 2nd, 3rd place or are there participation ones as well?
etf2l config doesn’t allow crossbow? at least on serveme.tf servers
