Overview

It’s time to show off those dueling skills you’ve been gaining in the uncountable hours you spent on MGE! With the help of AVerMedia, ETF2L is pleased to announce a tri-class MGE cup!

This cup has a special twist to it – in addition to a hardware prize for first place, there will be two additional prizes for players who stream or record their matches!

For those of you not familiar to the concept of MGE: it is a gamemode where players play 1 vs 1 matches to practise and improve their deathmatch skills. More info about MGE…

Streamer Prizes

For this cup, we encourage players of all skill levels to experiment with capturing their gameplay on video – the Streamer Prizes will be available only to players who stream at least 75% of their cup matches. If you’ve never tried streaming before, now is the perfect opportunity to try it out – Skyride has written a wonderful guide that should get you started in no-time!

If your internet connection is not powerful enough to stream your gameplay, you can record your cup matches with Fraps or a similar program and upload them to Youtube – these will count as streamed.

The Streamer Prize will be awarded to the two highest-placing participants who streamed and/or recorded at least 75% of their matches, regardless of their final position in the cup. If two or more participants are tied for the same position, they will play a decider match with the same setup as the final.

Servers

Cup matches may be played on any server running the latest version of the MGE mod and the map mge_training_v7 as long as both players agree. Locally hosted and public servers are allowed.

In case teams cannot agree on a server, the match may be played on one of the ETF2L league servers.
