Due to the recent popularity of the cup, the signups for the low bracket have closed at 12 signups. However, due to this the cup has to run into Monday (unless you want to be playing till 10pm GMT at night). The cup tree can be viewed here:http://challonge.com/tpctf2 . However, we are still in need of two d3+ teams for our high bracket. If you are looking to enter this high bracket, send me an add.

Hmm, I see so many names but no streamers at all, I think thats what the scene lacks the most so where are you gonna get yours? Unless one of the casters is caster / streamer, which IMO is a bit risky

I'm streaming, yo.

Yes we do need other people, but seeing as we're going slowly this upcoming season I can singularly handle the camera duties for now.

If you think you can handle me breathing constantly down your neck, eyes ablaze and spinning in their sockets as I whisper '3500 bitrate, no dropped frames, 1080p, simultaneous recording from source for next-day VOD upload' over and over again into your ear socket, hit me up.

I wouldn't suggest streaming at 1080p unless you have partner. Do you?

Good point, my mistake. I've been away from my PC for too long! We'll work on partnership once we've got some games down on the board, but you're right in saying that 1080p's still more of a pipe-dream at the moment (but is obviously the goal, as a retina MacBook owner 720p makes me feel deeply sad inside).

And to think I'm supposed to lead this ramshackle shit-show fantastic organisation!

You might actually find that 1080p at the bitrates that twitch can handle can look worse than 720p simply because it requires a higher amount to stream cleanly. See for reference Sideshow's stream when he was using 720p at <2000 kbps. He reduced the resolution and the overall quality actually improved.

We're still looking for two d3+ teams for our High Bracket. Due to how close it is to the cup an entry fee will not be required if you want to signup for the cup. Add me if you're interested!

Hello you. Fancy seeing you here. Can I get you a drink?

We have more changes. Everything is in a state of flux here. All the keys on my keyboard keep sghaycbba fygcavhh.

The games we will be casting in this once in a lifetime event will be:
The Upper Bracket Winner’s Finals (31st of August 7pm BST)
The Upper Bracket Loser’s Finals ( 31st of August 7:45pm BST)
The Upper Bracket Grand Finals (31st of August 8:30pm BST)
The Lower Bracket Loser’s Finals (1st of September 7pm BST)
The Lower Bracket Grand Finals (1st of September 7:45pm BST)

We are very happy to announce that we can now offer a third place prize for our High Bracket and 2nd and 3rd place prizes for our Low Bracket thanks to TF2Pickup.net and Whitelist.tf! The updated prizes are:

In the upper bracket, first place will receive:

Dishonored, Strike Vector, FEZ, Monaco: What’s Yours is Mine, Spec Ops: The Line, Mirror’s Edge
A year of serveme.tf donator access
3 months of TF2Pickup.net donator access
£90 of cold hard money
6 absolutely stunning posters made specially for you by our very own hashtagchan (coming soon!)

Second place nets you:

Super Hexagon, Orcs Must Die! 2, Guacamelee! Gold Edition, Bioshock, Antichamber, and Mafia 2
6 months of serveme.tf donator access
2 months of TF2Pickup.net donator access
6 class specific killstreak kits
£30 of equally cold and hard money

And coming third means you get:

1 month of TF2Pickup.net donator access
12 keys
6 class specific stranges

In the lower tournament, first place goes away with:

Dustforce, Thomas was Alone, VVVVVV, Cave Story+, Little Inferno and Surgeon Simulator 2013
3 months of serveme.tf donator access
3 months of TF2Pickup.net donator access

And finally, for third place in the lower tournament, there are:

1 month of TF2Pickup.net donator access
6 class specific stranges

Now that you have seen the amazing tf2 prizes/real monehs we are offering I’m sure you’re regretting not signing up if you haven’t. However, if you have signed up there’s a couple things you should know:

You should add the team leader of the team you will be playing before your match rather than organising it through us.
Status and score screenshots are to be taken and uploaded to your challonge match page. For the Low Bracket this is here: http://challonge.com/tpctf2 and for the High Bracket it is here: http://challonge.com/tpchb
Please make sure you’ve got 6 players on your ETF2L roster or in the description before the results deadline for the first game (30th August, 7:45 BST / 6:45 CEST)

Also if you feel like reading some probably hideously inaccurate descriptions of our high bracket teams, this is the place to go: http://maincall.tf/obligatory-peoples-cup-hype-article/

We're certainly not dead! Shame on us for not posting the results. The results for The People's Cup are:

High Bracket:
1st Place: Hello Kitteh Ninjas
2nd Place: Safari Zone Powered by saloon.tf
3rd Place Prtyboiz

Low Bracket:
1st Place: dude nice
2nd Place: Milko's Merry Men
3rd Place: Good Enough: Honeycombs

We're also hoping to cast some of the logjam cup (for the games that aren't going to be covered by tftv)and we are in the works of making another custom map cup (with maps that aren't just super old) that is planned to be on the week after S19 playoffs (although this can be changed).

Hey guys, apologies again for being shit/late/other derogatory but probably accurate term.
Here's the write-up, for those that are curious. There's a lower bracket one being ground out by our team of small east-asian children as I speak, and I'm sure they'll be more than happy to post a link here when they're finished.

While we'd love to get them out as soon as possible, I'm afraid you're right in saying that they're not top of the list. Since hashtagchan is going to be screen printing them himself (so you can all steal his residual DNA and clone him if you want) it might be a little while. Rest assured that we will be posting here when they're ready.

The gist is that hashtagchan has stepped down so supposedly I'm now running things around here. Also, we want you (please help us) to make content for us, because we have shamefully low numbers right now. Read the article for more info.
