Announcing iNcog's $500 Empire Cup 2!
Starting July 4th at 15:00 GMT,
a 2-day weekend bash featuring new maps & unique rules
Watch on ESOCTV on July 4th
>> Click here to sign up! <<
>> Submit your "Premier" civilization here <<
Returning for its second iteration is
iNcog's Empire Cup! The first weekend of July will see the reprise of the tournament of surprises, which last time saw a rather unfamiliar coterie of players reach the Day 2 events. Held earlier this March, the first Empire Cup saw semi-finalists snowww and SomppuKunkku put up stellar performances, culminating in iamturk taking the crown in a nailbiting Best-of-7 series with runner-up KINGofOsmane that ended up going to match point. Generously sponsored by the donations received during last event's stream, Empire Cup 2 has a $500 bounty tied to it. The event will be livestreamed on
ESOCTV starting at 15:00 GMT on July 4th.
The tournament rules will largely be the same as the the first iteration, with the veto rules scrapped.
— Upon sign-up, you are asked to pick a
"Premier Civilization". This had better be your best one, because
you will be using this civilization for the first game of every single series played. This counts all the way from the Ro128 to the Finals. The clever among you will note that the earlier rounds of this cup are Best-of-1s. Indeed, your premier civilization will be used for that portion of the Cup as well. Have a look at the
map pool and make your decision based off of that. To submit your "premier" civilization choice, make sure to send @
Cometk a
private message before the sign-ups deadline!
The later stages of the event feature a few new maps of the off-kilter variety that will throw the inattentive player for a loop. Take a good look at ESOC Yalu River and ESOC Guatamela, recently implemented in the
ESOC Patch, and get those strategical gears whirring if you plan on making a deep run in the tournament! Click here to view the
full tournament rules, including when to show up and civilization picking rules. For any additional questions or concerns, feel free to drop a comment in this thread.
Here's to another great event!

Hey @
Aykin Haraka
Sorry. We talked a bit with staff and due to this being an ESOC run event, the outcome is that tit and kynesie are not allowed to participate in this one either. In the end, ESOC is doing almost the entire legwork to make the event happen so.... gotta respect that. What happened in NWC was serious after all
