Celebrate Red Alert 2's 10th Anniversary and Win Cash Prizes in the...

RA2 Cash Ladder Tournament PLUS!

Finish in the top 48 on the RA2 Ladder during the month of October.

Elite League (Rank 1-16)
Pro League (Rank 17-32)
Expert League (Rank 33-48)

Note: If you have multiple nicknames, your highest rank will be used.

What are the rules?
During the qualifying month, you must abide by the XWIS rules only. During the tournament itself, you must abide by the XWIS rules AND you cannot 'engi' or 'alt' your opponent. It will be best of 3 for each match-up and best of 5 when playing for the top 3 positions(except for the Expert League which is top 2 only). Game settings will be similar to RA2 QM:

Short Game = ON
MCV Repacks = ON
Crates Appear = OFF
Super Weapons = (to be decided by the 2 players. If the 2 players can't agree with each other then SW = ON)
Credits = 10 000
Unit Count = 0


What's the Map Pool and who gets to choose?
The player with the lower rank chooses the 1st map. The rest of the maps are chosen by the loser of the previous match. You can choose any map from the RA2 QM Map Pool (including optional maps). Depth Charge, Alaskan Oil Spill, Bull Run, Killer Instinct and River Rampage will only be Mirror-Matches (ie. both players must be using the same faction). You can only choose each map ONCE throughout the tournament.

When?
The qualifying month will be in October and the tournament itself will be in November.

But I don't play ranked games, can I still participate?
Yes. During the month of October, Strike-Team will also be running the...


One-Map-Maniac Mini Tournaments!
These mini tournaments will each be played on 1 specific RA2 map:

Country Swing
Hammer and Sickle
Official Tournament Map B
Heck RvR

8 players will battle it out on each map on a 1-win-elimination basis. That's right, win ONCE and you're through to the next round, loose ONCE and you're eliminated.

When is each Mini Tournament going to be held?

Official Tournament Map B - Sunday 24th October
Heck RvR - Sunday 31st of October

What time and place?
7pm BST in Korean Bunker 2

How do I enter?
The first 8 people to register for each map will be entered. So you better be quick! 5 reserves will also be required for each mini tournament incase 1 or more registered players become unavailable.

To make it fair for everyone, you may only enter in 2 tournaments. So if you end up in the top 48 of the RA2 Ladder and decide that you want to compete in the RA2 Cash Ladder Tournament PLUS, you may enter one of the One-Map-Maniac Tournament, and vice-versa. You may only enter in 1 of the 4 mini tournaments.

What are the prizes?

Elite League (rank 1-16):
1st Place - 200 euros
2nd Place - 100 euros
3rd Place - 50 euros

Pro League (rank 17-32):
1st Place - 100 euros
2nd Place - 50 euros
3rd Place - 25 euros

Expert League (rank 33-48):
1st Place - 50 euros
2nd Place - 25 euros

Mini Tournaments:
1st Place - 25 euros

If you have any questions, please post and ask them in this topic.

Very nice :)

I don't particularly like the idea of someone in the pro league winning more money than rank 3 in the elite league.

Most likely, I'll be able to record many of the games in the tournaments.

Looks awesome guys!

I really like the league part it gives guys other than the same top handful a chance.

Does doing it in October leave enough time for promotion (kinda of like for the Prize Invasion)?

Either way, sounds great to me! :thumbup:

Finish in the top 48 on the RA2 Ladder during the month of October.

Elite League (Rank 1-16)
Pro League (Rank 17-32)
Expert League (Rank 33-48)

As you may have noticed in the last tournament it was very hard to get enough players, this time it should be easier because there's less restrictions to enter but still, I don't think you could get 50 players for it no matter what even with a motto like this.

My proposal is to make as follows:
Elite League (Rank 1-8)
Pro League (Rank 9-16)
Expert League (Rank 17-24)


I know you're eager for making it a big thing but I think this would be more appropriate, pretty well balanced and actually possible to manage.


What's the Map Pool and who gets to choose?
The player with the lower rank chooses the 1st map.

Little incentive to take rank 1 again then.

However much I appreciate your engagement in making things fair and even for everyone you should not resort to socialistic methods, I have mentioned it before. Just let the nature prevail in tournaments, don't do manipulations on it by arbitrary alterings on tournament brackets to fit your likes or I will not participate on any future tournaments. Stuff like that is just not cool.

And could you please closer define the RA2 QM Map Pool (including optional maps)? AFAIK you could play any map in QM that is including Canyon Fodder, Anytown Amerika and El Dorado. Please reconsider this, and, or handle maps like those differently aswell.


This tournament could be used as a great staring ramp to introduce an anti cheating client and make it an actual fair tournament. Have a think about that.


good to have second chance to win money :)

You wish so, cheater.


I don't particularly like the idea of someone in the pro league winning more money than rank 3 in the elite league.

I don't like that either. Even less incentive to qualify for the elite league. :confused1: :confused1: :confused1:


Most likely, I'll be able to record many of the games in the tournaments.

So will I, BTW I thought you sold your resources to record games? :confused1: :confused1: :confused1:


... if there's anything you would like help on Grant, you can always ask me!

I'm expecting some vespene gas to come my way in the next month :)

These tourneys should be massively advertised in order to get enough interest and to make players actually show up for their games in November. A tournament that will most likely include players with ranks 150-200 (due to multiple nicks) will be very hard to organize indeed.
