Insurgency 8on8 Cup
Due to constant demand the Insurgency Section offers an 8on8 Cup for all teams and players that like to participate. While the Insurgency scene is still small the 8on8 Cup is open for up to 8 Teams for the first time. The Cup will be held on only one day which is Wednesday the 25th at 19:00 CET.

Cup Mode

The 8on8 Cup consist of 3 rounds in single elimination mode.
One cup round must take place within the 90 minutes before the next round starts.
Each match will be played on two maps, one push or battle and one firefight map, on both sides.
The matches of the 3 rounds are scheduled for 19:00 CET, 20:30 CET and 22:00 CET.
The Cup will be played according to the standard ESL Insurgency rules.



Drawing of the Maps

Let's introduce something new. There are no fixed maps in this cup, the maps have to be picked by the teams before the match. The drawing works by dismissing maps you don't like to play. Please See further details in the rules. This have to be done twice. Once for the Firefight mode maps and the once for the Push/Battle mode maps, both times via the match detail comments. The last map standing have to be played by both teams. The Firefight map have to be played as the second map. Map pools to eliminate from are:

Pool 1: ins_almaden, ins_baghdad, ins_buhriz, ins_karam, ins_sinjar
Pool 2: ins_abdallah, ins_haditha, ins_hillah, ins_samawah_day, ins_ramadi



Sign-ups are open, so gather your team and ensure you will have 8 players for the time the cup takes place. Let us enjoy the first 8on8 competition on ESL for Insurgency.

Sign up now!


We wish all teams and players good luck and satisfying matches, and overall and successful first 8on8 Cup.

Sounds good, nice work ESL Admin team.

8on8 will be exciting at least
At first you have to find 8 players! We dont have them! :P
Nice =).

Silentpain, if your clan won't find enough players, team up with another clan and compete together =).

Sweet has already signed up btw ;).
1on1 will be much better
Team Spain is just in, Go go 8on8 will be nice ;)

V3, make contact with another german team, that way you could join as Snuffy said.

Hope to see you there :)
Would be nice if insmod.org would post a news about the 8on8 cup. I would assume they would if they post about 3on3 =).
Team Spain :D n1 :P
The biggest shit is the date best time allways for CG in the week why dont friday or sunday only the same !
of curse!!! always hl2exe error !!! and 8on8 cup? The Update of Insurgency is, excuse me, shit!
nice idea
It would indeed have been cool if there were a survey done before to find out which day people would find the best.

I personally like sunday, becuase it is a week-end day but not a party-day =). Should suit the most people.
The admin slots are still there for you. As far as noone wants to do it, we have to find a date that fits the admins so they can organize!
Fair enough, but the big question is why there are not more interest in admin positions. I tried to talk about it in the forum but noone except ZeD answered.
It seems as it is just as little interest in participate in the current administration as it is from the current administration to take in more admins.
sunday is better ^^
c u :)
Im free to complet a clan ;)
maybe only 4 teams are able to get 8 players :D
ECO and TBV have been playing 8on8 pcws, and OC 8on8 "inhouse" =).
As nenTi said, if you think you could organize it better, request Admin permission and do it!

Lazy people only criticizing what Admins do. Become an admin and try to do it better. I think I'll do it :/ hehe.

As "suggestion", Sunday sounds good :)

Unfortunately RB can't get all players online on Wednesdays, so we can't participate.

Good luck and have fun everyone :)

Ohh sorry.. i was just too lazy to read correctly.. thanx for the post.. now i can die as a smart guy!!^^
Useless Cup ever!!!!!!!!!
<3 8v8
8on8 was very fun!
I had a great evening, we should do this again
very cool!
but then in a 5on5 please^^
8on8 its self is okay, but it just took to long to be ready with 16 players needed to be ready^^
nice match
Hmm, I felt it went pretty smooth. Why it took some time for sweet to get ready first time was becasue many had to install mumble and aequitas and get them configured.
let's do this again plzzz
noooooooooo pls not, not this way, was a fucking mode. I dont want to play up to midnight on wednesday, playing this cup on one day was a bad idea.

SilentPain is right. It was a lot of funny but it would have been better to play it on a full week, or meabe in a month if we get more teams to play. :)

I can imagine that max 2 matches each day might be nice. It is some work to get 8 ppl together, so it might be better to play 2 matches when this occurs!
