The second day of the cup turned out to be long, but, starting from the second round, it gave us many interesting confrontations. Recordings of the streams can be found on our YouTube channel (day1 and day 2). The top five prize places are as follows:


Congratulations to the winners, we express our gratitude to the streamers and our donor koala!

Also now you can vote for maps for the third cup (you can choose from 1 to 10 maps):

Vote for maps for the third cup

At the third cup we will allow to restart the timer, so the maps chosen are quite short. The list turned out to be small, besides it includes several hard maps. If they make it to the mappool based on the voting results, then we will leave them for the spare round and possibly the final; the maps for the qualifiers will be guaranteed to be easy. We will publish the mappool in a week, when registration opens.

Maps for qualifiers (with maximum times on each)

Based on the results of the qualifiers, the 8 best players advance to the double elimination, which takes place on 6 sets if 5 maps each. Before the start of the match, two opponents cross out one map each from a special menu, then they play on the remaining three. The first one to score two wins is considered the winner of the match.

Note. Based on the results of feedback from the participants of the first cup, the cross out scheme will change. This time, the player who has more points in rating will cross out first (if the number of points is equal, the player will be chosen randomly by the plugin). In the first round, the advantage will be given to the one who performed better in the qualifiers; then the chance to gain an advantage will be greater for those who complete more maps or score more points with an equal number of maps.

Based on the results of the last cap, the recording of which can be viewed on our channel (day1 and day 2), the tournament donator koala decided to add $50 to all participants from the top eight and $100 to the main streamers MEDVDED_EBUN and Phantometry. Thus, we got 8 prizes:


We congratulate the winners, thank the streamers and, of course, the donator himself, and immediately begin to prepare for the next cup, registration for which opens in a week. For now, we’ll take a cup scheme similar to the first one, but the difference will be that difficulty will be hard-extreme and extreme, and we’ll allow the use of checkpoints. The mappool is formed by you, our readers, just select from 1 to 10 maps in a new vote:

Since Phantometry refused money for the stream, we are redirecting this $100 to the prize fund of the Winter Map Contest, which starts today and will last until the end of the year. This means that on New Year's Day we will publish the maps of all participants. Please note that the process of mapchecking in our upload lasts one to two months, that is, you need to start creating your masterpiece right now. So, briefly:

How to participate: put your new map with a winter theme design into our map upload and fix every issue found by our mapcheckers
Competition end: December 31 (you must upload the first version in advance)
Current prize pool: $100
- first place 50$, second 30$, third 20$
