JeeSports announced that they have opened a 1on1 ladder on their site. This ladder will act as the seeding for the previously announced upcoming 100 tournaments that are open to all players.
The top-8 of the ladder at the end of every month will face off in a separate playoff - for more than 200 in prizes! Read on for the full story!
JeeSports announced a couple of weeks ago that they would support our beloved UT2004 with cash tournaments every other week. The plans are now set, including a surprise that might make your shooting-finger twitch a bit:
A ladder with a 200 playoff for the top 8! The ladder rankings will also be the basis for the seedings in the 100 cups, so to make sure you don't face off against the highest ranked players in the first round you know what you should do! And, this being a ladder, activity pays.

The aim of these series of tournaments is to show every former and would-be UT2004 player that this game is still alive and absolutely kicking, as well as giving fans of e-sports a fantastic show to follow. Expect nervy games going all the way to overtime,
Varagh-like whines and spamming of binds,
ScrMz' link to be on fire and someone to get frustrated by it and expect
astz! to make someone upset with his undying love for the shockrifle.
Prepare for old names to return and new heroes to be made.
Prepare for some UT2004 action the way it's meant to be played!
The show will be spectacular, with shoutcast, stream and naturally UTV. UT2004 always was a superb game for spectators, especially when coupled with skillful shoutcasting and that is exactly what you will get here! The goal is to show people even outside of the Unreal universe what a great game this is to watch and follow, and so HD-streams with shoutcasting are planned and will be announced on various gaming sites. You can help too, by announcing it to your friends on Facebook when it gets closer, for instance.

Created by Alexander Mader, Toxicity is an enclosed Duel map with a distinctive look. Twisting halls and teleporters provide ample escape, as long as you watch out for the namesake pools of toxic acid in the main rooms of this arena. Own the world, or at least your opponent, and spread disorder by knocking them around with some rockets. Bounce them well, and you can treat yourself to a Red Armor, while they suffer some unfortunate burns.
Formerly known as the perennial favorite Silent Night, we've torn down the Christmas decorations as to not look like that weird house down the street lit up well into March. Thankfully, it hasn't warmed up enough to melt the ice that covers vast swathes of the level, allowing massive acceleration throughout the frozen tundra terrain. Everything else is still mostly as you remember it, from the grenade traps to the secret button that dispenses health. Wait, that's supposed to be a secret...
