[i]“hey mom… I just won a trip to the United States for a TF2 1v1 tournament.”[/i]

Like what!?

For years the question has echoed through MGE servers: which region has better MGE, [b]NA[/b] or [b]EU[/b]?

We’ve seen enough [b]elo screenshots[/b] and heard enough stories about [b]forum legends[/b] who supposedly win every duel ever played. Now it’s time to prove it.

The [b]European 1v1 Championships will take place April 11–12[/b], featuring some of the strongest duelists Europe has to offer… or at least the ones brave enough to leave the comfort of their UGC MGE elo.

Only one player will earn the right to represent Europe in the ultimate NA vs EU showdown with an all expenses paid trip to LAN in the United States.

The winner receives an [b]all-expenses-paid trip to the MGE LAN[/b] in the United States July 25 (flight, hotel, and food covered).

All participants will receive a MGE.tf 1v1 World Championship participation medal.

We will host a Russian play-in to determine 1 Russian representative in the European championship.

Due to current visa challenges, it’s unlikely a Russian player would be able to attend if they win. We’ll support attempts to secure a visa through another country if possible, but it’s unlikely. If the attendance still isn’t possible, the LAN spot will pass to the next eligible player. Even if the Russian representative cannot attend, their results will still provide meaningful context for comparing international strength. And if a Russian does win and cannot attend I will probably deduct $50 from each of the top 4 placers at LAN and award the Russian player $200.
