Presenting the TF2Pickup.net Open Rumble

August 25, 2015

Razer throw the TF2 community a bone with cash prize tournaments alongside active development based on feedback and we give them feeble 8 team signups?! Ah, but you don’t want to signup if it means getting crushed by top teams...? Well I’ve got just the thing for you dear reader! It is my pleasure to introduce the TF2Pickup.net Open Rumble, a new multi-week European tournament series sponsored by TF2Pickup.net, serveme.tf, TF2 Warehouse and TF2 Outpost and hosted on Razer Arena.

How will these events benefit you, you ask? Each tournament will be limited to teams within defined skill brackets. This will mean that your team won’t be participating in a tournament simply to be knocked out in the first round by the likes of [R]eason or TLR, giving you a genuine chance to claim the prizes. Ah, prizes! Our lovely sponsors have indeed promised a veritable glut of prizes for the finalists in every tournament. Oh and about the finals, they will be casted - surely a bonus for the budding fragvid editor after some hype audio.

So there you have it, some great reasons to signup and test your mettle against similarly skilled teams in an official scenario outside the regular season.

Format

The tournaments will be hosted on Razer Arena, with every match being a single game until the finals which will be a best-of-three. Participation will limited by the highest level of competitive experience you have, unless you have actively played in the majority of your team’s officials in the previous season. This means no higher division mercs.

Prizes

TF2Pickup.net and serveme.tf have kindly donated the following for the lucky finalists of the first tournament:

  • 1st: 6x Professional killstreak kits, 3x serveme 3month server subscriptions
  • 2nd: 6x Specialized killstreak kits, 2x serveme 3month server subscriptions
  • 3rd: 6x Killstreak kits, 1x serveme 3month server subscription

--

Now with everything laid out, I hope that you will join us to compete for the title of Open Rumble winner! The first tournament is being held on September 6th, and the tournament is already open for signups on Razer Arena, so jump in before it's too late!

That is about tf2pickup itself not the cup. And the site is not ready for launch yet, but yes, it will support all those 4 scenes from the start.

I think the "Open" means that this tournament is open to everyone to join.

The word "Open" in this case means the division. ETF2L Open Tier teams only.

Does this mean all players have to have played in a registered division to compete? I'm so confuse.

I am a South African player. The scene here is a shadow of what it once was about 2 year ago.. Occasionally, we get together to play some 6v6. To be honest, it's nearing total death. I'm hoping on match making and this tf2 pickup thing reviving it. I'm scared that it may be too late..

I'm really confused right now. So is this cup ONLY for players from etf2l open, or can mid/open mixes join as well?

If the Finns enter they'll smash everyone all over again, otherwise going by our scrims the other day, the new Pups roster ought to take it. (Sorry Citro and team :D)
