Last time you heard from us, we announced the site going live. This time around we're happy to announce the
TDM Open Cup #1 which is filled with prizes. Top 16 teams all get a part of the
£1250 prize pool and thanks to our newest sponsors,
Ozone Gaming, the best team gets awesome
Ozone Blade keyboards as well.
The cup kicks off at
08:00 CST on
June 30th and features a
double elimination bracket. The sign-ups are already open so feel free to start registering for the tournament. The check-in begins
1 hour before the tournament start. You can get
all the information about the tournament (rules, schedule...) on the
tournament page. Stream information will be added during the next few days. Also, please hop by our
irc channel if you have any additional questions.
Last, but not the least, seeing how there was a lot of misunderstanding on what "free" means when it comes to ESA tournaments and how subscriptions are going to work, please check out the
extensive interview that HolySh1t guys did with Didge (ESA director). You will find all the answers to your questions there.
