Why do we need to have
No Merc/Loadout Limitations
It’s a shit rule and there is no need for test cups to show that, if its only gonna be for 1 cup and then changed anyway why do we need it in the first place…
All we are gonna see is 2 fragger 2 sawbones 1 engineer/sniper/fragger every game on every map zzzzzz

(Ribero) #3

Looking for high level EU team to carry low level player to cup glory.

If there is overwhelming feedback we can change it for this cup, but the whole idea of the test cups were to do one without rules, one with, and see what people like better. But if people are dead set on a 1 merc limit, we can change it. :slight_smile:

(Draceus) #5

Think we dont need a 1 merc rule, keep it as is for now IMO

What is the min. amount of teams required for this cup to happen? And have the private servers for this tournament already been confirmed? Would like to know in advance if the tournament will actually be played on Saturday.

(RazielWarmonic) #7

At least eight teams, we’re already at six so it’s totally do-able. I’m going to PM a few people as well today. Might even move the cup to Sunday.

As for the servers, I’ve been talking to @MissMurder and she said there shouldn’t be a problem in having them up. :slight_smile:

(RazielWarmonic) #8

Updated:
Loadout switching is allowed.
Clarification on what loadouts can be used.

(MissMurder) #9

Hey there :slight_smile: I will need to know the exact details and what’s needed for the servers by today so we can set 'em up. Thanks!

(AdmiralTeddy) #10

I’d love to play but sadly I has no team, gl to anyone who’s joining this, hf friends <3

Are you sure this won`t turn out the same way that the evac cup did.

We were registered, had the team on stand by and were told that there is no cup

As SD did not manage to get the servers ready.

Best regards

Our servers will be thrown up before hand, on top of that, a lot of us joined a passworded server yesterday so there is nothing to fret. :slight_smile:

Passworded servers work, we’ll have ours available ahead of time for practice, and there is absolute zero reason for failure.

(yakcyll) #13

Low med/fops up for ringing this Sunday, drop me a pm here or on Steam if you need someone.

(RazielWarmonic) #14

Ya’ll have until Saturday night to confirm your team and team members.

Official brackets will go up Saturday night (US West time :wink: ), so watch out for it!

Is there a Pause-function yet in DB?

Its could be useful if a player get gamecrash or similar.

I think Warmonic tested it last night and it worked - there is no sounder or on screen notification from what I could tell (honestly I thought the game crashed!) :wink:

Just to let anyone know - The brackets are LIVE and FINAL.
If you have not personally contacted myself or commented on the forum that your team can’t make it, you are confirmed for the cup. No more sign-ups are being accepted.

You can find brackets here: http://dirtycups.gg/brackets/

Thanks everyone who has signed up!

Cheers,
Warmonic
