Who’s taking part in the fun tournament?

Anyone who wants to - and that's over 180 players. These will be put into a total of 61 randomly selected teams on Saturday, giving everyone an equal chance. Whoever plays in the fun tournament isn’t allowed to participate in the pro tournament, too.

Feel free to sign up until shorty before the tournament begins.

Who’s taking part in the pro tournament?

From more than 270 teams that participated in the two qualifiers, the following four managed to qualify for the finals:

  • Slightly Salty

The «fun tournament» will kick off at 12:15 p.m., followed by the «pro tournament» at 3:15 p.m.

The fin tournament is played in a «Best of 3» format, so a match is decided after a maximum of three rounds. We’re starting off in group phases of four teams per group. The pro tournament is played in a «Best of 5» format with every team playing every team once. The two teams with the most points will face each other in the final and battle it out in a «Best of 7» match.

As a child, I wasn't allowed to have any consoles. It was only with the arrival of the family's 486 PC that the magical world of gaming opened up to me. Today, I'm overcompensating accordingly. Only a lack of time and money prevents me from trying out every game there is and decorating my shelf with rare retro consoles.
