Tournament Overview

Welcome to the Cusu cup, the first tournament organized by Deepwatersgaming
Cusu Cup is a 2v2 amateur tournament, where all teams are playing the same maps. No home map, just fixed maps for everyone.
The main goal of this tournament is to present our company and provide some fun to amateurs players.

Players and teams composition:

Team may inscribe up to three (3) players. Teams may choose to change players in between games

Inscription Process:

In order to inscribe players should have both current ELO Of 1300 1v1 and an historical highest ELOs of 1400 in 1v1 ranking. Also, in order to avoid smurf accounts, players must have at least 100 ranked games, of which at least 50 must be in the 1v1 ranking
To register, players must join our Discord https://discord.gg/tpEnbXR and enter the following information in the channel called Cusu Cup Inscription:
o Team Name
o Team players
o Team capitain (must be one of the players)
o Aoe2.net profile of each player (obtained by copy-pasting your steam-profile ID number)
In addition, each player should be following us in at least one of our social networks: Youtube / Twich / Instagram / Twitter. In the email, you should also inform the account used to suscribe to our social media, in order to verify it.

Tournament and round formats:

The tournament will feature a direct elimination system, with 32 teams competing. Seeding will be determined by randomly
All round will be Best of 3
