Next Wednesday the 23rd, EQLT will host a team duel quick cup, which each team will only be allowed to have 3 players per team + a sub player. Meaning that the captain announces before who plays what map and with randomized map rotation it won't want as long to finish. Teams are obligated to play on a server which is most fair. The cup will be played with bo5 matches and use 8slot Single Elimination Bracket.

Be sure to be on #EQLT at 12:00 CDT to check-in after you've signed your team up.

QLTV should be able to shoutcast as many matches as possible. More info on EQLT's website. And if you need any help or questions about the cup don't hesitate to ask in #EQLT.
