Not to be a smartypants, but why do the people in the GMT timezone have 1 less minute to sign up?

I just wanted to make it clear that it only lasted until the end of friday, 00:00 GMT might make it dubious to whether it is the 00:00 of the day after or before. Of course Im not gonna deny applications for 1 minute, not even 10 or 20, its just so people dont remember and apply on saturday night when I have already reviewed every application

After 6-7 hours NA Cup applications are sorted :D

26 Confirmed teams
3 Applications still pending
3 Applications denied

More info here:

Brackets etc incoming tomorrow

Now onto the EU cup applications. Should be a lot less time consuming since ETF2l is much more straightforward to check for player experience. Will try to have it done by tomorrow afternoon

EU applications are done with. So all applications are reviewed.

Cup Numbers:
24 teams for the EU cup
22 Teams for the NA cup

Official Page for the NA cup:

If you received an add for me make sure to accept me. I added every team leader.

Pending Teams:
ALso there are 3 pending teams for the NA cup (eu cup has no pending applications) so if you are one of those 3 teams get in contact with me.

Brackets:
As for brackets, they will be randomly seeded on challonge and posted later tonight or tomorrow morning on the respective cup page.

Servers:
For the NA cup we have arranged a great sponsorship from Mawr servers which will be providing all the servers for the cup + the winner’s server. We will have 10 servers available: 4 Chicago, 2 Atlanta, 2 Dallas, 2 LA.

These will work on a first come first server basis, and each team leader should add the other team leader and agree on a server location and request it to me as soon as possible.

For the EU cup, we weren’t able to ultimate details and we are making a last minute decision. If you have a server you can use your own server, otherwise we recommend using http://serveme.tf/ to rent a server for the match time (please do it in advance so all servers are not taken). This site is very straightforward and easy to use but if you have any question contact me. Also in last resort you can reach me for a server if there are no servers available on serveme.tf

Maps
Maps will be the same as ETF2L s15 / ESEA s14 respectivelly except all maps will use the most updated versions (apart from snakewater)

Ruleset and Whitelist
NA cup whitelist will be the same of ESEA s14 MINUS the Quick Fix
NA cup config will use ESA Cups config as we dont have our own client like ESEA and ESA cups used NA rules.

EU configs and whitelist have changed and will be the same as this next season (s16 etf2l) , we changed it because serveme.tf doesn’t support last season configs.

Any question add me on steam or post here.

Is there going to be a cast?

Unfortunately I got in contact with Vanilla TV yesterday who showed interest but no availability

Tf.tv showed no interest.

I am trying to get in contact with some casters (pledge etc) to cover the later rounds but no luck yet :( if you could help me find someone I would appreciate.

As for streamer I already have a friend (ducky who is the newest official tf.tv streamer) available to stream only need casters

MagicalKillaCow might do it, he’s streaming now.

do you know him personally? tell him to add me if he’s interested

He’s playing Runescape, nvm.

Is there nowhere we can watch this?
