OVERVIEW

Team Colonslash!

That’s right, the kings of circle jerking are back! This time we are not drinking nor screaming frenchopolish words, we are not batting people on automatic sentry guns; no, this time we are trying to enrich your gaming souls with something more materialistic – keys and weapons signed by top EU and US players!

What better way to give you keys then through a one night, single bracket 6v6 cup, made in cooperation with ETF2L? Considering the prize pool, in this cup we are focusing on lower division teams (more info below). Of course, both 6v6 and fun teams can enter the tournament! The cup is happening on Tuesday, 2nd of April, with finals following on Thursday, 4th of April. Signups close Tuesday, 2nd of April at 18:00 CET with brackets published at 19:30 CET.

MAP RULES

Home map for this cup is going to be cp_quay made by highly talented Sweden choiie, whose battle-tested cp_snakewater has been in the official ETF2L map pool for the last 5 seasons. Both Team Colonslash and ETF2L staff members think that cp_quay has a lot of potential for becoming a new highly popular competitive 6v6 map. The map is filled with great hiding places and interesting pushing/holding routes. Judging by the amount of positive feedback from double mixes, cp_quay deserves more attention and play-testing so don’t hesitate and sign up for this cup.

UNLOCK RULES

The unlocks’ whitelist applicable in Season 14 official games will apply here as well.

SPECIAL RULES

In most one night cups, lower div teams receive nothing but a pixel trophy. With this cup we are aiming to reward those teams and their efforts with a symbolic prize pool. Using general rule 7.3 regarding admin discretion, we will decide which teams fit the „lower div requirement“, and put all the rest in a higher bracket.

Mercs
Considering that some teams have players with higher div experience, this cup will allow up to two default mercs if they are div 4 or below. Unverified players will count as mercs. Using general rule 7.3 regarding admin discretion, we will decide which mercs fit the „lower div requirement“. If you are not sure if you or your teammate can participate, contact an admin on IRC.

For everything else, standard ETF2L 6v6 Season 14 rules apply.
