Once again, I’m framing this as a “solo queue” tournament where people are encouraged to solo queue into the cup and get paired with other solo queuers. The way it works is that check-in opens at 5pm EST for one hour, and during that time you simply join the tournament "As Solo" and it will pair you with 5 others to round out your team. You will be on the same team for the entire tournament. I, and hopefully all who queue, will be adding up with the intention of just having fun and bringing positive attitudes, so hopefully you all will do the same. If you are looking to try out FACEIT specifically or are just looking for some more competitive TF2 to play, this is definitely the cup for you. People of all regions are more than welcome to participate as well. If circumstances permit (my solo queue team gets eliminated), I will be casting some of the remaining cup matches on my stream. Should be fun!

Like last time, the chaos of scheduling around the LAN has prompted me to avoid a team centric tournament, which is why this one is going to be a little different. Of course, if you do have a team/party that would like to play you are more than welcome to. Keep in mind that only if your team makes the grand finals will you have to stick around the whole time, so for most people the time commitment here will only be about 1 hour or less. As always the goal is to get 16 teams worth of players, and your participation goes a long way towards building a bigger and better relationship between FACEIT and our competitive TF2 scene (we will soon be announcing something cool that's already in the works for any skeptics out there!) If you have any questions feel free to ask here or hit me up on Twitch. I hope to see you there.
