"After a lot of preparation, we’re happy to announce our latest 6s map testing cup!

The Cup will be free to play and will take place on Aug 24th and 25th!

This map cup is intended to gather extra data on maps that have been played in other regions or have been requested by the player base to be tested. Testing these maps will give us the opportunity to see the value, and receive feedback on these maps. To see if they would hold value in running in sixes season 16.

The cup will run for two days in a double round-robin format with 4-team pods sorted by traditional 6s divisions (NC, AM, IM, etc). Teams in each pod will play every other team twice, never on the same map!

Map Pool and Schedule

The map pool will have a different map for each Group Stage round. The maps will be cp_entropy_b5b, cp_Granary_pro_rc16f, and koth_govan_b6. There will be NO Playoffs scheduled for this cup.

Match schedules for all divisions will be released on Aug 23th, allowing teams to schedule matches at their convenience, However, default times will be set if teams cannot agree on alternate times. The top team at the end of all 6 matches will win their group.There will be a tie-breaker match scheduled in the event of a tie at the top of the standings.

ALL MATCHES MUST BE PLAYED before Aug 25th at 11:59 EDT.

The default schedule* will be as follows, (all times EDT):

FAQ

What servers should we use?
All Serveme servers should already have the maps uploaded to them; however, it is highly recommended to download the maps from the link above before connecting to reduce connect time, delays, or other issues for those matches."

ggs everyone in IM. it's been a lot of fun being back on the grind one last time. even though we didn't finish where we wanted I enjoyed every minute massively. before this season started i decided it was gonna be my last season of 6s. i didn't want to leave like some do, where they say they're gonna take a season break and never return. for better or worse this game and the competitive scene have played a big role in my life the last few years. to finish on my own terms is very satisfying.

shout outs to everyone who's ever been on bruh moment - both the ozfortress and RGL iterations. Special mentions to go Lev, Luggnuts, Ozy, Krollic, DubThink (the only person aside from me to play in both region's bruh moments), Loot, Freddo, NK, Antlers, Ggglygy, Brandon_411, Will, Linguini, and Nbr1Rckr. Thank you to everyone I've met through this game - especially the IM contingent at this year's LAN. Thank you to everyone we've ever gotten to play against.

Good luck to the teams still battling it out in playoffs and may the best team win

I've asked a few times in his chat and it always gets ignored so read into that what you will

back in early 2016 Valve re-added Hydro to the Misc. Map section of Quickplay. After a few weeks of people having to learn/re-learn the flow it was actually possible to get a good game of Hydro going which was fucking sick. 6 months later they added the casual queue system and pubs were ruined. Great job guys!

valve hasnt made any balance changes in 6 years lol im sure the scene will be fine

the last point is still so ass, why are we still having to play this map? theres virtually no visibility and pushing is a sisyphean task unless you get 3 picks pushing 2nd

5cp with no sniper

death by firing squad
