@666AL , That is not a problem.
We have now reached the sign ups limit. I would do more but given the amount of private servers we have we can only cater for 16 teams. The next cup we will hold up to 32!

Team limit has been reached! If you want to check out the teams signed up or see who you might be up against check out our latest article:

Good luck all! 
GL all, and in case someone canāt make it weāll swoop in to fill their spot. I was hesitant to sign us up before, since we didnāt have a stable 5-man lineup. Next time.
Welp. Guess we were late. Silly Americans, we didnāt expect you to sign up =(
Sign us up anyway Potty. Perhaps someone may just drop out.
Hopefully this will be the first of many, plenty of time to get some practice in before the next one.
Good luck all.
[left]Competitive cup is mandatory to check balance between classes of well organized team. Check this on open servers with big differences on aim and teamplay skill is very hard. With this event, SD will see if some merc or some strategy (def with a lot field ops, medic rush, ā¦) are OP.
No one merc rule: i agree with this, except for 1 soldier (1 fragger allow by team). If a team want 2 field ops or 2 engineer or 2 medic ⦠why not ? It will open some possibilities to adapt the team to the situation, or and to the enemy strategy, or to balance a aim weakness .
Then, i donāt have my old W:ET team on close beta (old because it is already 12 years ago, ⦠and because we was already old ). We are not really good, but we have a lot of fun on W:ET. We play against team or our level, and it was really good.

In the long run Iād like to see a merc cap, but if both teams have the ability to swap between 3 mercs on the fly, I honestly donāt think there will be any balancing issues. That is, unless you keep running head first into a wall of fraggers as a proxy.
Thereās more to it than just balance, if the game becomes more popular you have to start thinking about the spectator aspect of it. Nobody wants to see matches consist of nothing but a medic and 3 or 4 of the OP mercs on each team.
Are we going to be able to see these games? Iāll assume theyāll be recorded/youtubed but is there any possibility of spectating on the servers? And could it be shoutcasted?
I enjoy watching competetive and havenāt seen any yet.

Letās cross that bridge when we get there. I donāt think it will happen at all. The design of the game is so that strengths of each merc compliment each other, so generally you are getting diminishing returns if you simply add more of one type (e.g. one healing station is super useful to have. Two healing stations are great, but not twice as good). Balance would have to be pretty out of whack to get a situation where 4 of the same merc create an optimal strategy, and if that happens that hopefully SD will react to it quickly.

They will be. Iām sure @potty will get that info out eventually, closer to D-day
Ah poops. Guess I wonāt be playing this time.
If only I had friends⦠
@evu there will be a stream with shoutcasts going on. I guess VODs will go on youtube shortly after.
The casting team so far is Me, INF3RNO and Pixeltwitch. Hoping to have a good balance of entertainment and experience!
Alright alright! So I cleaned up this thread a bit to keep it on track. Letās please just focus on Evaczoneās cup and as always- please no bullying.
Thank you to everyone who has signed up! We have randomly drawn names out of a hat, seeing as we cannot be sure on peoples skill just yet, to determine the brackets.
I will be writing a review of each team so if captains could be availible at some point for me to ask a few Qās thatād be awesome.
Let the FLAME commence:
Looking good, shame I didnāt get a team made for this :(.
@potty if you need any to help cast with this, I am more than happy to do it with someone! its (thesilverfox).
