6v6 Preseason 23 Cup Home

Tired of Christmas boardgames with your family? Lobbies and mixes just don’t do it anymore? We are kicking off the year 2016 with a brand new 6v6 Cup hosted on ETF2L.org. We all have been longing for 6v6 action since Season 22 and Dreamhack was won by Se7en. So here we go, folks!

The ETF2L 6v6 Preseason 23 Cup

The Cup will be divided into two stages:

Thursday, January 7th: Group Stages

• 19:00 CET: Round 1 on koth_coalplant_b7 (played as first to 3)
• 20:00 CET: Round 2 on cp_logjam_rc2a
• 21:00 CET: Round 3 on cp_gravelpit (played as a BO3)

Thursday, January 14th: Knockout Stages

The schedule for the Knockout Stages of High, Mid and Open brackets will be as follows:

• 19:00 CET: Quarterfinals on cp_logjam_rc2a
• 20:00 CET: Semifinals on koth_coalplant_b7
• 21:00 CET: Finals on cp_gravelpit + loser’s pick. The remaining map will be the decider of the Best-of-3 maps final.

Top bracket:

• 19:00 CET: Semifinals – BO3 maps, higher seat picks first, then loser’s pick.
• After Semifinals are done: Finals + 3rd place match – Same mappick system.

For the K.O.-Stages of High and Open #3, two group winners will receive a bye in the first round.

Rules/Whitelist

The 6v6 Season 22 rules apply in this cup with the exception of the merc rule. We are allowing one default merc per match. Please only present players as default mercs, that meet the requirements to prevent time consuming discussions (for clarification see point 1.4 of the HL Season 9 rules).

The whitelist that is going to be used is this one (a test-whitelist that is not necessarily going to be the exact same for Season 23, so calm down everyone). Shoutout to whitelist.tf for letting us use their services and setting a preset for the whitelist!
You can also execute the whitelist by typing “rcon tftrue_whitelist_id etf2l_6v6_s23” if you have TFTRUE installed.
TF2Pickup.net has added the new whitelist to their servers. So if you want to test it, go ahead and play some PUGs!

In short, the following weapons have been added/removed to/from the whitelist of Season 22:

+ Pretty Boy’s Pocket Pistol
+ Candy Cane
+ Tide Turner
+ Persian Persuader
+ Pomson 6000
+ Cleaner’s Carbine
+ Panic Attack

– Eviction Notice

… and fixed taunts accordingly to be up to date with the newest set of items.

Prizes

Every 1st, 2nd or 3rd place teams will receive a pixel trophy on their team page and the rights to brag about their achievements.

In any case, there is going to be a newspost before the cup starts. Make sure to check etf2l.org before you play your first round match for all the updates!!
