Announcing 6v6 Nations Cup #9

It has been long waited but it is time for the best players of each country to group up together and prove that their country is the best!

The Cup will feature a Group Stage and a single-elimination Tournament, and will take place throughout September and October. Each country will be represented by one team consisting out of players of the same nationality, led by a Captain chosen through the applications process. For the playoffs we will try out a schedule over a single weekend in order to not let the playoffs go on for too long, if you intend to signup with your country please be aware of this.

Schedule

• Captains Applications: 24th August – 8th September
• Announce Captains & Groups: 9th September
• Group Stage Round 1: 10th September – 17th September
• Group Stage Round 2: 18th September – 24th September
• Group Stage Round 3: 25th September –  1st October
• Tiebreakers: 1st October – 6th October
• Playoffs: 7th – 9th October

IMPORTANT! We do encourage teams to make use of their roster of up to 13 players. Mercs will not be allowed! (Although we may be more lenient regarding the verification time.)

Captains Applications

National teams are created and managed by Captains chosen out of submitted applications. Each Captain will pick the best possible roster from among their countrymen and lead their glorious squadron to victory. There are no restrictions on which players you can field in your team, so long as they are of your country’s nationality and are eligible to play in ETF2L. We are not allowing players to change nationalities, if you have previously played for a nations cup team, 6v6 or Highlander you are locked to that country and may not play for a different nation. If you have any queries please contact the admin team.

To apply, send an email to [email protected], explaining why you should be your country’s captain and describe your planned national roster. Applicants who have experience leading successful ETF2L teams and a good reputation in the scene will be given priority. This should be self explanatory but you should include at least your nickname and your ETF2L profile link in the application letter.
Also please use the pre-fix [ETF2L] in your email’s subject, for example [ETF2L] NC9 Captain’s Application France.

Captain Applications will close on Sunday, September 8th at 20:00 CEST. Only approved Captains and their National Teams will be added to the competition. Up to 32 countries can be represented so if we reach that number before the deadline applications will be closed. However if we do not reach 32 teams we may have to reduce numbers to 16.
