The Sign-Up-Phase went quite amazing – both slot limits were reached in less than 18 hours. We are sorry for everyone who didn’t get a spot, but also we can’t expand the slots as many people will be on vacations shortly after the cups are supposed to end.

Due to the big request the gamemode for the Soldier 1on1 Cup is changed to “Best of 7” (first player reaching 4 points wins). Exception is a “K.O. streak” which will take place if one player wins the first three rounds. All rules are listed on the [Rules Page].

Please start to contact your Round 1 opponent; the match deadline is coming Tuesday. GL & HF to all players and teams!

Phishing websites

As of late, a new phishing website has emerged. This particular website pretends to be the steamcommunity website, and it does a pretty good job at looking like that. Please make sure, that whenever you log in to the steam community or the steampowered website, the URL is correct and that your browser bar displays a lock icon on a green background saying “Valve Corporation”. If you can’t see the green lock, or are not on one of these 2 websites, never give out your steam login details.

Just a short reminder the two fun cup decider polls will close tonight. Currently the two “favorites” Soldier 1on1 and Basketball 2on2 are leading, but the “newcomers” Enginner 1on1 and Pyro Paintball 3on3 are closely behind. You haven’t voted yet? Take your right and shake up the result!

Sign Ups will already start Sunday evening; both cups will start shortly after so they will be finished before summer. If you want a safe spot, be sure to sign fast.

Edit: Polls are closed, Soldier (turris) 1on1 Cup and Pyro Paintball 3on3 won! Sign Ups will already start this evening. Details will be published soon.

Details

• Slots: 64

Scout 2on2 & Sniper-1-Day-Cup: Grats to piece sucks & waiz

We are a bit late on that, but of course we would like to congratulate the winner of our lately finished fun competitions.

Piece sucks, a fun team of I Don’t Know players, had a close fight against Morty is on a mission. After they lost the first map (cp_granary) clearly (0:3), they made an excellent comeback and got the win home after three maps (cp_badlands 3:2 | cp_fastlane 3:2).

Besides, we also congratulate waiz who pretty much dominated our first Sniper 1on1 Cup and won a high quality headset from our partner SteelSeries. Have fun with it!
