PassedTired of getting owned by people with a higher Elo then you? Can’t quite get your foot in the door for the big cups? Then this is the cup for you!There will be a cup each week, so we need a different winner for each! At the end of 4 weeks (Sept. 16th) we will be having a "Step it Up Duel Master Finals" event, where prior first- and second-place winners will be placed in a Bo5 single-elimination bracket!Congratulations to madrigal for winning the first ever "Step It Up" Cup! Lunat1c_ will be taking his place in the Grand finals, as madrigal will be on holiday that weekend. Lunat1c_ vs ins will be played before the semi finals for our David vs Goliath match up.
