All the INTRO information for the 2014 CUP

My dear friends,

It's been too long. 10 years in fact, since this game began. I write you, once again, to let you know that this October we are going to run a new cup, a very special cup in honor to these years we have played together or, most likely, against each other.

As you might have heard, Epic Games has officially announced the creation of the new series of UT: UT4. Thanks to that many old players, and new ones, have gathered together to contribute creating this new game. The new series will probably be out at the end of 2015, meantime,  a massive community from all the UT series has united to perfect this new edition and, through that, we were lucky enough to make some new contacts inside Epic Games; which we hope - but still don't know for sure- will sponsor us.

That I know, there has not been yet a UT2004 CTF cup featuring money prizes. We got 400 euros already in the pot, and this alone from players' donations during this last week. We plan now that we have a forum, a website and a promo video, to contact the sponsors.

In other words, this cup is gonna be awesome and I'd love it if you were part of it somehow.

There are many things to be done.

For one, you could be a player since this cup is not a clan cup but a so called draft cup.  

I explain: a draft cup basically is a mix between all kind of players from different skills. The idea is to be able to mix up players from different communities, pings and levels in order to, more or less, balance the teams this way. Avoiding the usual pro formations, for one. Therefore anyone, even you who has not fire a gun in years, would have the chance to do well in this cup.

If you would like to SIGN UP, you only need to:

1) The website - click on the big banner that says "SIGN UP"

http://www.prounreal.org/mlut/news.php?c=116

It will redirect you to the forum where , in order to know more or less the skill of the players, we ask from everyone to post a "qualification form". Don't be too modest

2) The forum -

If you do not feel like playing but you would still like to be "on" it, why don't you help us with COVERAGE? I know some of you have the skills and the right personality for this, proven over and over through the years. We look for people who could stream matches, shoutcast or write reports and interviews; or simply just people who would like to post in the forum

If you are not the ego-star kinda guy, you could just tell your old mates or whoever is around you that we are running this cup. We could use some SPAMMING and some AVERTISING Spam binds are most welcome; IRC, ClanbaseRadio, XFIRE, SKYPE, Forums or yelling in the street in you remote country. Why not.

If all those options are still too much work for you, well you know the simplest thing of all: DONATE some money for a good cause here. Not only starving children need money, we are all starving to make a unique cup; most probably the last cup (damn, I wonder how many times I said it was "the last" in this game).

For fun and laughter! For the good old times! I got seriously melancholic while writing this letter. You have all been part of this unique experience at one point or another; some of you were close friends and others even closer enemies but together, somehow, we were the weirdest of families.

I am officially inviting you to come back, for UT2004 sake.

I hope I'll see you soon again. Back in black.

P.S: You will need to register on the forum in order to post *coughs*

New apartment new internet provider and no more sharing!! Hence better ping, more awesomeness, well I hope
Just need to find an alternative for powerline adapters. I am only getting about 50mbits instead of 200mbits right now
Guess instead of the powerline I will have to use a long ethernet cable!

Nice Hopefully I will have time to play around october (unlike now), anyway I will definitely sign up.

Guys we only need 3 more players to reach the wished amount of teams, if you have not sign up yet, now is really the moment. We close sign ups on the 28th.


Also, we are missing 6 team captains - each captain gets to choose a team cocaptain and 3 players according to a rating system.

This is most needed, please help us.
