Today SauerCom explored new horizons.
The plan was simple:
Invite the most active clans, listen to their opinions on how to run the cup and actually involve them in running the matches in a more decentralized and independent manner.
The servers stood their ground, even under attack. (yes we got attacked again but who would’ve noticed?)
Also, it just cannot be stressed often enough how civilized everything went down.
The players all started their own matches, mostly without any admin supervision at all, yet we didn’t receive a single complaint about abusive behaviour or any other problems.
Way to go, folks!
Unfortunately, the hopmod server failed to record any demos, so we’d be very thankful for anyone who can send client-demos in, especially from the finals.
The Future
Many of you have asked us if we’re going to host more SauerCom Cups in the future.
The truth is, we don’t know but the odds suggest it.
Most of us are also involved with the SDoS project, a more professional approach to a league.
Due to this we’ll mostly try to shift our focus back to that league now and try to offer a tournament where anyone can participate.
Looking back at how well everything worked out with the SauerCom Cup I am more than confident that we can soon expect more professional league action on the part of SDoS.
However, that does definitely not mean that this was a one-time thing!
We’ll probably be back with another edition of the cup – maybe with a different mode, different format – who knows, we’ll definitely let you know though.
Feel free to tell us what you liked and what you liked .. not so much. :) Comments are appreciated!

It was great watching. but wtf was with everyone getting kick/banned?
Someone leaked the master pass.
