We’re gonna run cups this summer, so let’s collect some suggestions here and discuss them. Discuss nations cup as well.

Here are some of the suggestions so far:

Nations cup

Turris

Dodgeball

Scout 2v2

Pyro Paintball

BBall

Arena

KOTH 4v4

Crasp’s Epic Idea
5v5 Sniper in Arena mode. No unlocks. Maybe a few things like win limit 7, round time limit of 3-5 minutes (these are flexible), basically a CSS spoof in TF2.

ETF2L cup

Instagib

ETF2L Olympics

Rage Arena

Kinda like Turris, but for 2v2 soldier: http://www.flickr.com/photos/i74s

– ETF2L Cup
– InstaGib (1 hit – one kill. Also, see http://etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-16336/page-1/ biohazard might be working on a new version, will ask him about it)

Please do add rage arena!

Feel free to add descriptions to the suggestions, and I’ll add it to the post.

12v12 all heavies, first one to shout “heavy’s weak” wins

Quoted from Spike Himself

Everything in Ashkan’s post, but in a season format rather than standalone cups. You sign up as a team, but not necessarily the entire team plays (for example, a team’s soldiers play turris in week 1, the scouts play dodgeball in week 2, etc. – just an example though, naturally it’s up to teams who they field for the games).

Also, 1v1 Medic :D

Do you think that would work as Summer Olympics? Meaning that players from the national teams take part in stuff like:

– scout 2v2
– soldier 1v1
– ultiduo
– bball

I think we would need more cups though, so that there’s actually a fair amount of medals handed out and we get a clear winner. It won’t be fun otherwise. We could also hand out posters to the winning teams.

However, that would mean that only top players from each country get to play (and they’d be getting even more awards, the posters), so we would have to run other interesting cups as well, for the others. A solution would of course be to make the Summer Olympics team based rather than nationality based.

An idea from the Steam forums: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showpost.php?p=22856787&postcount=1

How about a 6v6 style tournament with an added twist. Each round (1st round, 2 round…. semi-finals, finals) would have a restriction (as chosen by the people in charge) that would cause changes in strategy. I mean as in, one round you must harbor at least one class with this unlock, or one of this class, or you can’t use this class, or putting players on non-typical 6v6 maps, etc… (you get the idea). It would be open to public and competitive players alike and would be a fun experiment.

I do not have the time or resources to host a tournament. It is an idea thrown out to the community.

Not saying I like it or dislike it, but I thought I should at least share it here.

Bumpity. Scout 2v2 and Medic 2v2 have generated a few comments lately.

We also need to sort the plan for the Kritz cup. Regarding the setup of skill brackets etc, worst case we can just open signups and adapt to what happens from there.

I’m curious about postponing the kritz cup for now and running a Quick Fix EO cup in the meantime, any thoughts?

Plus, Ultiduo and highlander soon. Since Angel wants to open signups ideally on Sunday I’ll look into giving him and Imperium admins tomorrow. I’d like to give them a wee intro, but I won’t really be around between 5 and 10 UK time at the least, maybe even earlier.
