Have you ever wanted to join a tournament but be intimidated by the skilled players, found difficulty in finding a team or just not wanting to play a match for 8 weeks just to not make the playoffs?

Here’s the part where we step in and offer YOU! the players of our region a fresh new way to play the game without the hassle that comes with regular competitive formats.

What is the [JP/Asia] Shinobi Showdown cup?
Shinobi Showdown is a brand-new format and unique gamemode created to satisfy the needs of the Asian team fortress community as there is a lack of casual fun gamemodes with UGC and Asiafortress being the only two parties hosting competitive exclusively.

It is a 6v6 format with a class choice of up to 3 demoman, 3 soldiers and a maximum of 1 pyro, scout, sniper and spy with the gamemode being themed around Asian and Japanese elements with weapons such as the kunai, flying guillotine, half-Zatoichi and the map being set to Koth_Suijin.


All stock weapons are restricted, allowing only whitelisted weapons to be used in the matches. The purpose of restricting stock weapons is force players to go off meta and experiment around with different classes and weapons to find a unique strategy as well as helping to keep our theme intact.

Schedule:
The tournament is planned to be Early-late June on a weekend as it is off the school term and would hopefully maximise player turnout rates.
