banner by PaprikaProductions
It’s beginning to look a lot like Dustbowl!
The cup’s hub page has been released and all relevant details can be found there.
Requirements: A 6v6 or fun team that’s able to play during the scheduled days which are stated below.
SIGNUPS ARE CLOSED
You can now only get on the waiting list
The groups have been released and all matches have been set to the respective times. Make sure to play them on time. If you have a dropped team, in your group, just disregard all matches against that team. We’re looking to fill all gaps with waiting teams, but there’s only so much we can do. Sorry. Make sure to check shortly before the appointed match time, if any dropped teams have been replaced! Or possible if one of the groups that was still missing a team got one to fill it up. We will not replace/add any teams after 19:00CEST . If you want to be on the waiting list, just sign up – you’ll be put on it automatically.

This will be largely the same as Season 21’s rules with some minor additions or changes.
Cup-specific rules:
- Picking up weapons is allowed (yes, including mediguns!)
- On cp_well players are allowed to deal damage during setup, while staying on their side or by standing on the train separating both sides.
how many teams advance from each group? is it decided already?
Uncertain yet, I’ll edit the posts once I can confirm it which will be around 19cest tonight.
On cp_well players are allowed to deal damage during setup, while staying on their side or by standing on the train separating both sides.
?
Will this be streamed? How can I find out if a game will be streamed or not?
Regarding the trains on cp_well, what happens if someone accidentally falls down on the enemy side during setup ?
@Pheonix, sorry about that. Small miscommunication with another admin. It should be written there now as how it’s supposed to be.
@Iller So pretty much you’re allowed the shoot enemy vidya gamers but not allowed to go across the train and start shooting them. If you accidentally get knocked onto their side just hop back to your own without damaging your opponents.
Is there no information about mercs or did i read it over?
What clip said. Is there anything about default mercs or same rules as during the regular season?
note to self: check the map pool before deciding to participate in a cup
@San Alex: top 2 teams from each group progress to the knockout.
@Mother Prussia: Currently there isn’t a schedule for casting yet. But I’m going to try and get the finals casted.
@clip, CanFo: Yeah mercs work like they normally do.
Sorry for the late responses, have been busy with other stuff as well.
I think the question everyone is trying to think of is: will there be participant medals?
@bacon: no, otherwise I would have mentiond it to lure people in.
thanks Aoshi!
