For this 2011 edition of the tournament, TmT created a new website (http://tmtournament.com/) and has a new partner : Clanhost.

These developments show how TmT want to update its challenge.

Moreover, they have called the well-known de.png Shortz for making the official teaser that you can watch here :




This is a succesful bet, because it's not less than 94 teams (128 slots were available) which are registered for this new edition of one of the biggest TrackMania tournaments.

During this three monthes of competition, you will follow worldwide teams, like fr.png Mythix eSports, gb.png Dignitas or eu.png RG-eSports, fighting each other to take the place of eu.png eMpathy (winner in 2009) and gb.png YoYoTech (winner of the last edition). 

And the rules ?

All teams will play on tech maps (35-45 seconds), on a 4v4 mode ; but for this new edition, the admins have took the decision to don't organize a looser bracket.




Groups announcement

The groups were announced the 1st of July at 20:00 CET on TM-Live.

fr.png Snaky has made 2 videos for this event, firstly a teaser of the annoucement, then the official announcement. You can watch it here :




Indeed, the announcement was expected at 20:00 CET and was firstly delayed  at 21:30 CET and finally came at 22:30 CET, due to some problems of video-making and uploading by Snaky.

Moreover, probably on account of the short time whose Snaky had to make this video, some mistakes about teams names and groups classification were made.



The 94 teams registered for the tournament are spread in a total of 16 groups.


1st Group :

2 ru.png Wings of Speed
3 eu.png Funteam Trackmania
4

5
cz.png Pinisové
6
cz.png SA.team


In this group, gb.png YoYoTech will not have big difficulties to get the 1st place, only ru.png Wings of Speed seems to be able to disturb the british multigaming.

2 es.png Fanatics!
3  br.png SpeedBr Team
4
ai.png noy
5
hu.png Most Wanted Racers

gb.png Infused.Tt could be the great winner of this group but hu.png THIeSports will be a tough opponent, even if the others, like es.png Fanatics! can surprise...

2 eu.png Turbo feat. HPD
3 ru.png Infinity Formula
4
nl.png Mouse Control 2
5
ua.png Fata Morgana
6
by.png Kemet team

Here, de.png Competo and ru.png Infinity Formula will probably fight for the 2 qualifying places. nl.png Mouse Control 2 should be wary of eu.png Turbo feat. HPD.

2 de.png Team Bullracing
3 fi.png Driving For Fun
4
fr.png Phenix Gaming

2 de.png Dac-SP
3 fr.png Deus Team
4
eu.png BUG
5
eu.png International Racing Clan

French players of the new fr.png Deus Team, despite their talent, will have some difficulties to beat de.png Dac-SP. pt.png RevolutionGames or eu.png BUG are also able to get a qualifying place

fr.png Dieux du Pieu
5
de.png Stigmata

If fr.png Dieux du Pieu were not losing one by one the best players of their line-up, they certainly could be a serious contestant for de.png sigN Gaming, de.png Stigmata and nl.png Boeie Gaming Clan.

2 nl.png Mouse Control 1
3 fr.png Sex Alc0ol Weed

pl.png Poor Old Losers
5

3 de.png Explode
4
pl.png Twarogi Polskie

fr.png memoria

cz.png wX.Group by cRew.sk is the favorite of this group. However, br.png Seven Eleven and de.png Explode could be rude opponents.

2 fr.png Xplozion Team
3 eu.png Team MiniQuest
4
pl.png Szopy Pracze Wymiatacze
