That’s right, last week the skeptical ETF2L Experimental Ordanance Cup went underway; the rules as the name suggests, being experimental – all unlocks being allowed, and stranger still, in each game both teams were forced to use at least 2 unlocks from a set list – the aim being to test out some of the more frowned upon unlocks, and hopefully receive feedback to possibly have an effect on which items are used in the upcoming cups and seasons. Tonight the cup was wrapped up, with the final of the high bracket being played.

Similar to the Monday Night Madness hosted in the spring by ETF2L, the cup had 2 separate brackets; low and high with 32 teams in each, for all those unaware, this (ideally) gives the lower skilled teams a chance to enjoy themselves in a cup where they won’t be immediately out of their skill depth, but also increases the chance that the top teams may encounter a challenge perhaps early on!
Despite the small amount of Division 1 teams in the higher bracket, perhaps due to it having short notice on a Wednesday evening, and no prizes, thankfully TLR signed up, raising the bar of the higher bracket considerably higher!

Down to the final results:-

Low Bracket Final :- Team Defiance 2 – 0 Entropy Team
High Bracket Final :- TLR 2 – 0 RAGE.eSPORTS

Congratulations to TLR and Team Defiance!

That looks to have just about wrapped up the first Experimental Ordanance Cup…opinions?
