Congratulations to the top three teams in yesterday's cup: Nudisto Beach in first place, Midwestern Blasphemy in second place, and Kneel to Odin in third. Each team won a fat pack of simulator games, and several TPG Hawken twitch viewers were awarded more simulators as raffle prizes. A special shoutout to Dermax's team, the Automoms, for crossing the pond to play with us; they took fourth place, playing with 120+ ping on a Chicago server.

 

All in all, we thank the participants and viewers for another successful cup. The new Swiss-system gave all the participating teams five matches to play (a more even spread than last cup's double elimination format), and we saw more even matchups as the cup progressed. The total runtime was around 7 hours, including the semifinal and final matches. We thank the players for being our guinea pigs this cup, and we welcome your feedback in future threads.

 

The shoutcast was run again by Xacius and Nept, which held around 40 viewers at its height.

 

A big thank you goes out to Crafty, who provided our top three rewards, and the rest of the TPG admins, for making this second cup happen. As always, we thank the players for providing everyone with some high-quality entertainment, and our viewers for cheering them on. Working with such punctual (*COUGH*Counterlogic*COUGH*) and well-behaved contestants made my job very easy.

 

Of course, let's not get carried away and forget to thank the most important person of all, me, for all of this. Man, what a swell guy I am.

 

If you missed it, you can find the twitch recording here.

We look forward to the next Cup, hopefully on an NJ server :)

The Youtube channel will be updated with the matches by the end of the week.

Draigun and Peacecraft had trouble providing me with my contractually required bowl of exactly 152.5 red skittles. 

 
 

 
In all seriousness, sorry for holding things up!

What if we tried hard but came in dead last? HBB wants some consolation prize boots to match her gown of salty. What do you got for the biggest losers of the tourney ??? ;)

I thought a little 100 MC for all participants that play till the end would encourage players to join and make the tournament even bigger and more even the more players join and play.

I know that's a bit much maybe. 50 MC?

Just to say that people continue participating and have a little cookie to keep them going each tournaments. In the end if you play 5 tournaments you kindda get a little but enough MC to buy yourslef a little something :)

(But I play regardless, I thank you all already for the generous time you spend in doing this!!! It's pretty much what keeps my flame going for hawken because pubs.... well.... pubs..)

I was kidding about HBB's gown needing boots ;) but Ive always found a last place prize keeps things interesting and since we keep detailed video evidence of the matches it would be easy to see if anyone rolled over to play dead - and thus disqualifying themselves. I'm here to say ASP didn't throw anything !! ;)

We especially didn't throw anything that dealt damage to anyone else! <3
