  5. Silver Tosspot: (°)> said:

    Sounds sweet, though it kinda surprised me to see you flashing mice as prices again after this message from thermaltake: [i]“[/i]let’s be honest, any player who manages to win a season already owns a mouse and a headset” I know this isn’t a regular season but still, if you can place second or third in scout mge you probably have a decent mouse…

    Can’t wait to get knocked out by some d6 MGE tryhard, lol scout MGE.

    3 evenings in a row of playing? Would have preferred to have it on only 2 :( Some people have places to be and people to see :(

    Nice tournament, good luck to all the participants!!

  9. Clark: SDCK! said:

    Remember playing on this map in 1v1 cup on ESL back in the good old days.

    Great that it hasn’t been forgotten.

  10. ducky said:

    If you pay close attention to the cup history of etf2l you will notice that we usually don’t provide hardware prizes as rewards for small-time cups like these to begin with (see ultiduo or pre-season new map cups), so it’s a step forwards enabled by our benevolent sponsors.

    Besides, even if you’re not going to use these mice then you can still gift them to somebody or sell them on some online platform so it’s not wasted either way.

    Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth, after all you can participate in these competitions free of charge :D

    7 playrounds, fitting them on 2 nights is a tight fit BibleThump

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

    Silver Toaster: That was more related to the 6v6 and highlander seasons. We still have an interest to provide prizes for smaller cups and the timing was perfect since these two mice are just about to hit the market in Europe.

    “Also, what is the winning scout supposed to do with this garbage tier mouse?” – few people do not know much about mice :x

  22. rockie said:

  23. Raptor: BTWFC - S-O said:

    instead of being happy that there are hardware prizes lets talk about those mices!!!!!

  24. schocky: MAFIA said:

  37. Scissors: (ETF2L Donator) said:

    Am I just retarded, or are the descriptions of the mice very poorly written and hard to understand?

  38. easyGame said:

    ^ ayy
    tt-esports is German afaik. Looks like they just used google translator for these descriptions :D

  41. Permzilla: (Legend) - (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞ - WiK? said:

    People who complain about the standard of hardware prizes have clearly forgotten what game they’re playing. TT and CanFo are doing something the majority of companies wouldn’t.

  42. repu said:

    the prizes are really good. the map on the other hand, is not.

  43. Meeto said:

    People are STILL complaining about Prizes in a free tourney? How ungrateful can you get.

  44. shapeless said:

    Looks great, although I personally objectify against health packs being on an MGE arena as it defeats the purpose of it.

  45. remix1337 said:

    Can NA players join? Because I’m trying to sign up and I’m getting some error saying “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

  46. Jojosapien: $$$TUG$$$ said:

    So how’s this working exactly?
    “Pull up your socks and head to your nearest MGE server because ETF2L is proudly announcing – after a several year hiatus – the return of the Scout 1v1 cup!”
    But then it says you need to make your own server? I’m congused
