The final event of the Grand Tour Season 2 -
Tieing things up with the
$100 ESOC Sup Cup #4!


>> Click here to sign up! <<

Ladies and Gentlemen!

It is my pleasure to announce the final open event of the Grand Tour Season 2 - Sup Cup #4. Unlike the formats of previous weeks, where we've seen the advent of the Smackdown Patch in tournament play and crazy new formats with the Two Towns Tournament and Weekend Pilgrimage, this week's event will be tried-and-true, good 'ol Supremacy. The tournament will feature the same civilization-picking rules as the New World Championship - that is, once you've won with a civilization, you can't play it anymore, and the winner of the previous game locks civs first going in the the next one.

Additionally, Sup Cup #4 will debut the map ESOC Global Warming, which will appear in the Semi-Finals and Finals. A map made specially for this tournament, a big thank you to @EAGLEMUT for the development & @Kawapasaka for the inspiration!

Looks like this one is gonna be pretty simple - but as it's the last chance to qualify for the Grand Tour Playoffs, expect some serious competition!

i love how the "fun" events have bigger prize pools than the competitive ones. Probably cant play this which is a shame cause id have liked to play in it.

ESOC puts down $100 for every event. Escape puts down $100 for the events where they host the Finals.

I guess ESOC could have put 50$ and escape too. It doesn't make sense to have a 200$ prize pool for a non competitive tournament, where most games ended at 5 minutes, and 100 for the competitive ones.

By the way, how does the play off work? You need to have points to be allowed to participate?

Let these glorious institutions decide themselves where they want to use their money. It's not tax money, atleast! Especially, if not being a donator!

In the end, prizes are to boost viewer value. If viewers or organizers want such tournament that many "pros" don't want to play, it's logical to boost the prize pool to get a good number of sign ups.

yes. as it stands, your only chance of qualifying for the top 8 at this point is a 1st or 2nd place finish in this tournament. the format for the playoffs hasn't been decided yet, but there will be a decent bit of time before the playoffs happen so keep your eyes peeled :)

Imagine a BO-something, every game with different format like two-town, pilgrims etc. The cry would be enough to fill a river.

I hate this weekend tournament format. I can never play, and when I can it's after working a 13 hour shift.

I'm gonna try to play on a friend's laptop in Berlin. I'm probably gonna lose to some captain as I never played on a laptop ever before, but at least I will try.
