So for those who haven't experienced the new cup from testura, inferna, and suburbia...
what is the new cup and how does it work: a thread!
1. There's no medkits given on this cup, so make sure you're burning nothing more than supplies
save your medkits for bonus drops or big wars.
2. This cup works like league, but with the concept of eliminations. The moment a country lost twice, said country can't participate in the cup anymore.
3. In the first match, every country is on the winner bracket. Harmonia has 33 countries, so after first match, there'll be 16 countries that win + 1 country has a bye, and 16 countries that lose. It means, for the second match, 16 countries in winner bracket fights within the bracket (and 1 country from this batch gets a bye again), the same goes for loser bracket.
In the second match, if a country in winner bracket loses, they will slip down to loser bracket for third match. Meanwhile, if a country in loser bracket loses, they will be eliminated.
It will go on like this, until there's only 1 country left, the last standing country, as well as the winner of the cup.
4. Cup takes two days. The first day has five matches, while the rest of the matches will be held on the second day. No battles are frozen during the event. So be careful, folks.
5. Railman has gone mad! How am I going to have enough limits to fight for five matches with no medkit compensations?? THIS IS MADNESS-
-well, you might think like that, so here's a good news. If you hit at least 30 hits on a match, your health points and limits will be restarted when the next match begins.
Let's study some cases. What if I have 16/10 limits during 1st match, and I hit until I have 0/0. For 2nd match, how many limits will I have?
drumrolls-
10/10.
What if I have 3/3 limits and I hit 30 times during 1st match, bringing my limits to 0/0... how many limits will I have?
drumrolls-
10/10!
That's kinda good, eh? Now, what if in 3rd match my country finally gets its second loss, will my limits be restored when 4th match starts?
The answer is...
EVEN MORE DRUMROLLS-
Yes.
6. I must hasten to remind you that unlike league, a cup round lasts for 4 minutes. Adjust your alarms accordingly (if you even do that, I know I do, lol).
7. After cup ends (which means, after the matches on second day are all over), you will get a medal as long as you hit at least 50 times during the cup.
8. With no medkits being awarded, I'd like to think that this cup is made for people to hunt BHs. So have fun getting those. Negotiate to prolong the rounds. Steal BHs. Recover so much more limits every match. GET GOLDS.
9. Update after #1 Cup: if you dealt the highest accumulative damage during Cup and your country finished as 1st place, you'll get a Q6 Lucky Charm!
All in all, I think that's all I could share for the moment. Hope it helps. Sorry for any mistakes, English isn't my first language
Best regards,

About the game:
USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth. Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be efficiently managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation. Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the game.
Work for the good of your country and see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules. First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress as a fighter. You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which are owned by the state. After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes. From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability to run for the head of the party you're in. You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself. Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you. You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state (for example, who to declare war on). Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military. In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials. For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on their territory. You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life as a pacifist who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game. It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth according to their own. So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
