How does it work?

We invite 16 warriors to compete against each other in 3 rounds. Every round will be played on fords of Isen and everyone has to pick random as their faction. As for the patch the same rules as in the BfME 1on1 league are used, which means the tournament will be played on patch 1.03.

All details and rules about the cup are listed in the following:

Conclusion

Everyone is welcome to spend the evening with us on the server. This should be a meeting place for all BfME players not just the ones who are participating in the tournament. You’re invited to come and have a look and to play some fun-matches. We’re going to extend the cup if the resonance is bigger than we expected, so that more than 16 people are able to take part.
If you got any questions, suggestions or some critisim regarding this tournament you're welcome to post in this thread.

With best regards,
the ESL BfME administration

The first round is compulsive for every player but the two player who are facing eachother can postpone the date when both agree on a new date. But you have to have your game played by the start of the next round.
