the compound (Storm, pijacka, Evie, tobs, cento, Tob)

Two of the teams in the qualification stage will advance to the main tournament.
We are going to have two groups of 3 teams:

Group 1:
ChudsXLAN
Puolangan divisioonan 2 tykistörykmentti
Seer Coincidence

Group 2:
the compound
eepy nappers
lastminute.com

Top two teams of each group will advance to the playoff stage, which will be played single elimination format. Both of the finalists will go to LAN, but we will have the final match played in order to be able to seed the teams better at the LAN.
We will ask two remaining playoff teams to play a 3rd place match in order to determine a team who could replace a team from all qualified teams in the main tournament in case someone drops out later.

All matches will be played in a best of three format and we are going to use the same map pool, rules and configs. We need to prepare configs and have them uploaded on serveme.tf, so we will update you on the config names which are supposed to be run during games. Please familiarize with the rules on the tournament page: https://play.toornament.com/en_US/tournaments/2365655955776780287/
We will try our best to cast most of the games if not all on Essentials.TF: https://twitch.tv/essentialstf

When you are planning travel, please try to be on Thursday, so we are able to make some team photos, prepare potentials skits etc etc. It's optional, but highly recommended.
You can play in the venue before the LAN - the venue will be operating as usual before Friday-Sunday, so you can rent their stations in their hourly rate.

hey, unfortunately we have to cancel this event due to a low amount of signups for the tournement
we believe the reason why we did not get enough sign ups was because i announced the event too late
because of that, we are going to try running this event again in 17-19.07.2026, so please save the date as it will be a future time to play some sweaty highlander

cheers
