Was planning on hosting something similar in the next few months, but I’d much rather someone else (like ETF2L) do it.

Figured while there is all this negativity surrounding the unlocks, it would still be fun as hell to compete / watch games where every unlock can be used, regardless of ‘imbalances’, and just see what winning combination ultimately wins the cup.

Class limits would need to stand, might even be worth setting scout limit 2, soldier limit 2, everything else set to 1.

The best thing about the cup would be that the people who don’t want to play with unlocks, simply do not need to enter. That leaves us with a cup of teams that want to enjoy it, and hopefully there will be less complaining.

Everything sounds nice!
But as someone else said, maybe even banning the regular weapons would make it more “YOU HAVE TO COME UP WITH A WINNING COMBO”

ETF2L please?

if default class limits were used people would just use equaliser, mad milk, liberty launcher (so horribly OP its funny) only I guess, though possibly also demos with loch n load (130 dmg to everything in a 5m radius of the hit target)

There are at most 10 weeks until the start of Season 10. There are plenty of ideas for cups, but we won’t have time to run them all as well as concluding S9, preliminary S10 work and whatever comes up in between.

If you have an idea for a cup that you think we aren’t going to run (btw, asking us (me) on IRC is a quicker way of finding out), I strongly recommend running it yourself on something like ESH. Looking at the ESH cup history there are hundreds of user-ran cups for COD4 in particular, so it can’t be that difficult to do. Myself, Deneusbeer and the Ultiduo admins all have experience of the site if something flummoxes you. If it’s really needed I can put together a tutorial on making cups on ESH.

Sponsor tournaments on ESH seem to have ran a little dry for TF2 at the moment (even the TT eSPORTS one was independent). A trickle of smaller cups ran by the community, for the community would show the management that we’re still around and eager to see more big things from ESH.

One day cups are still possible ofc :)
