Being in the peak of summertime and approaching the biggest Team Fortress 2 event this year that is i65, I hereby announce The Ultimate Ultiduo Tournament, season 4. Nobody likes long intros anyway so let's get right into it.

[b]Schedule:[/b]
The tournament is taking place on 31st August [Group Stages] (can be rescheduled) and 6th-7th-8th September [Playoffs] (some can be rescheduled).

[b]Region:[/b]
Europe only, although if you are a relatively new player from NA, you can check out the [url=https://discord.gg/TJ8jhPw]NewbiDuo[/url] tournament that I'm also hosting in parallel with this one, we support North America there.

[b]Stream:[/b]
The whole tournament will be covered by [b]Lucky[/b] and [b]krokit[/b] on https://www.twitch.tv/ultimateultiduotournament. I will ensure that the streams be shorter so those poor souls don't suffer through 4+ hours of casting (sorry :I).
PS: To get affiliated on twitch, we have to be streaming more often for a bit. V!s will be streaming some ultiduos with SynciNG over the next few days (with comms) on this channel.

[b]Prize pool:[/b]
Not affiliated with any organisations means that we begin our prize pool quite scarce. Last time we had 100+ keys worth of donations, so I'm quite positive about the outcome. Currently offering:

[list]
[*] melkor.tf DM reserved slots for the top 16 teams
[*] I am yet to reach out to Arie from serveme.tf
[*] Unknown amount of keys yet
[/list]
Donations of 5 keys and more will be rewarded with a precious glowing [url=https://imgur.com/1uZGVO8]helper medal[/url] and a special role in the [url=https://discordapp.com/invite/rTNqQAc]discord[/url], with all of the donations going towards the prize pool! You can donate [url=https://steamcommunity.com/tradeoffer/new/?partner=169506116&token=TR0sTTH2]here[/url].
