ok just as another public update/reminder here it looks like finally these days the first dt-tto game have been scheduled for tomorrow still to determine the exact time so for the rest this is what I have noted so far:
Week 1
DT VS TTO: match scheduled to be played tomorrow Friday 2 of January of 2026 at some exact time yet to determine (initially 19:00 CET) and just waiting for the final block from dt within today from tto picks (6++, overkill, hub3tourney1). as usual if by the night or so I still haven't received that then I'll have to pick that myself in order to be able to complete the card in time.
DT VS OFP: match delayed on the DT end so currently noted for the Monday/Tuesday 5/6 of January of 2026 18:30 CET (UTC+01) and just at the wait of confirmation mostly from DT end. as said, by this point this should be more than set already (this should have been played in fact) so I guess that I'll just give it a bit more extra grace time to be safe and I'll call it a day. I assume that by now dt should basically come out with dates and picks for this pretty much within today/tomorrow the latest otherwise they might end up losing this one as this is now dragging the rest of the schedules.
Week 2
TTO VS DT: with the first round almost all set it appears that it might possible that both teams meet the Sunday 4 of January of 2026 as well for the second round then now just at the wait of clear confirmation to set that along with tto picks for that. keep in mind that storm3tourney1, teddm1, q3dm14, 6++, overkill, hub3tourney1 has been picked in the first round and therefor they can not be picked (again) for this one. to go in time this Sunday, I'd need tto picks pretty much within today.
OFP VS TTO: currently just noted for the Monday/Tuesday 5/6 of January of 2026 18:30 CET (UTC+01) so just at the wait of confirmation from both to schedule that and proceed with the picks as usual. please keep in mind that 6++, overkill, hub3tourney1, 7++, focal-p132, storm3tourney1 have already been picked on the first round and therefore now they are not eligible to be picked (again). do not forget that to play around that time picks (starting from ofp) should have probably started to be made already then please do not forget about that.
OFP VS DT: due the delayed fights this is the only game that has been moved so far out of the planned holidays time so currently noted for the Friday 9 of January of 2026 18:30 CET (UTC+01) now at the wait of confirmation and picks from both as usual. as usual although there's still generous time left for this one and some margin it would be good that people do not forget about this and start getting to it.
ok and I think that's all by now, as usual, I hope everything is clear there (otherwise just let me know) so there's no any sort of drama/disagreements later on, enough said.
ok great news here, finally the card to play tomorrow between none other than the reining defending champions and the team one has been completed today as follow for public reference/revision as usual:
date: Friday 2 of January of 2026 19:00 CET (UTC+01)
ruleset: competitive UnFreeZe 5vs5 rulesets, no mid-game changes nor spectators allowed
for the rest as a follow up to my previous message this is the current updated situation I have noted so far after talks with the involved teams:
Week 1
DT VS TTO: card complete and sent already in forum to all the relevant people just pending to be decided tomorrow evening in-game.
DT VS OFP: finally agreed by both to be played Monday 5 of January of 2026 19:00 CET (UTC+01) today. additionally DT picked storm3tourney1, reqdm5, goldleaf and OFP had already (pre)picked 7++, 6++, teddm1 which happens to not overlap therefor now just waiting to hear from both (DT and TTO) what they finally block from each others picks to complete this card.
Week 2
TTO VS DT: finally also agreed today for the planned Sunday 4 of January of 2026 19:00 CET (UTC+01) date therefor now just waiting to hear tto three picks for this not conflicting with the already picked maps (storm3tourney1, teddm1, q3dm14, 6++, overkill, hub3tourney1) pretty much within today (approx unfortunately there's no much time to spare for this).
OFP VS TTO: ofp just confirmed for the currently suggested Tuesday 6 of January of 2026 19:00 CET (UTC+01) date and picked reqdm5, teddm1, q3dm14 therefor now just waiting for tto to confirm such date and proceed with their blocks and picks as well to hopefully leave this finally all set within this weekend (approx).
OFP VS DT: currently noted for the Friday 9 of January of 2026 19:00 CET (UTC+01) now at the wait of confirmation and picks from both as usual. as said although this is obviously not a priority right now please do not forget about this either.
and hopefully I think that's now all for this then please those involved review that and let me know if I missed something or anything. for the rest from what I heard from the teams I believe the default time at what we all can generally agree is around 19:00 so I think that by now in what's left of this supercup that's the time I'll default the games to unless stated otherwise.
breaking the reigning defending champions took their opening match against tto in a very exciting game where tto definitively showed great shape and even beat expectations, ggs. as usual, results and more to follow after the dinner break here, have fun.
ok and I think that unless I missed something finally everything updated now with this evening games results. as already anticipated in the previous message, indeed a lot more balanced that initially expected, so basically dt just took a map and managed to edge the other two to take another 3:0 win against tto in a very exciting game. the result still leaves ofp as momentary first place of the supercup due higher win difference (more rounds) which means that still at the wait of the Sunday second round of this same match-up the Monday game between dt and ofp poses as the first grand final so far although everything will remain still open probably until the next weekend so looking forward to see how this finally plays out. for the rest since the games were long and it got a bit late I'll just produce the inside videos first this time that it will go completing along the night and simply tomorrow do all the usual YouTube ones along the day so those that follow this there stay tuned for that. and it think that's all by now with the game update so I go complete some cards and review the schedules now to update them here are as well thus those involved please stay tuned. ggs
so, as said, as another public update here finally something like a week later the card between the reigning defending champions and the current first place of the tournament operation force parangon and the fight that poses as probably the defining match up of the tournament has been completed as follows:
stage: UnFreeZe Christmas 25/26 supercup
match-up: Double Trouble VS Operational Force Parangon
date: Monday 5 of January of 2026 19:00 CET (UTC+01)
ruleset: competitive UnFreeZe 5vs5 rulesets, no mid-game changes nor spectators allowed
so that finally completes the first week, great news, which means that then we can fully focus on what matters now, completing the card for the second and decisive week of the supercup. so as a summary and reminder to those involved this is what I finally have noted here about them as of now:
Week 2
TTO VS DT: all set for the second tto-dt round to be played this Sunday 4 of January of 2026 19:30 CET (UTC+01) just at the wait to hear final block from dt picks (bal3dm3, goldleaf, reqdm5) by tto no later than tomorrow (Saturday 3) night.
OFP VS TTO: it appears like finally tto couldn't do the suggested Tuesday 6 so after checking calendar and consult with ofp the Saturday 10 of January of 2026 19:00 CET (UTC+01) has been suggested finally waiting tto agreement for that. as for the picks, ofp picked reqdm5, teddm1, q3dm14 therefor now just waiting for tto to block one of those and to come back with three other different maps besides 6++, overkill, hub3tourney1, 7++, focal-p132, storm3tourney1, reqdm5, teddm1, q3dm14 of their own within the next days.
OFP VS DT: currently noted for the Friday 9 of January of 2026 19:00 CET (UTC+01) now at the wait of confirmation and picks from both as usual. as said, with the first week cards finally complete now it's probably about time to start getting back about this within the next days in order to avoid running out of time later on.
and I think that's all by now, as usual review that and if anything let me know. for the rest just looking forward getting that done/complete by epiphany (approx).
with some delay as some choices were literally received the very last minute finally here is the public card for the second round of the yesterday match up to settle the scores between the Team One and Double Trouble:
date: Sunday 4 of January of 2026 21:30 CET (UTC+01)
ruleset: competitive UnFreeZe 5vs5 rulesets, no mid-game changes nor spectators allowed
very interesting, risky I'd say, second picks there so definitively looking forward to see how that plays out, intense. for the rest as the usual public reminder/update here this is the current situation I have noted for the pending second week matches of this Christmas 25/26 supercup scheduled to be agreed and set "along these days" (as usual and as can be seen, do not leave everything for the very last minute):
Week 2
TTO VS DT: finally card complete at almost the very last minute and already PM'ed and post on forum so now just at the wait to decide who will come up on of this great encounter tomorrow Sunday 4 of January of 2026 19:30 CET (UTC+01) in game.
OFP VS TTO: currently ofp is in for the suggested and noted Saturday 10 of January of 2026 19:00 CET (UTC+01) therefor now just at the wait of tto to confirm such date as well or come up with another date to dispute this. additionally ofp already picked reqdm5, teddm1, q3dm14 therefor now just waiting as well for tto to block one of those and to come back with three other different maps besides 6++, overkill, hub3tourney1, 7++, focal-p132, storm3tourney1, reqdm5, teddm1, q3dm14 of their own within the next days.
OFP VS DT: currently dt is in for the suggested and noted Friday 9 of January of 2026 19:00 CET (UTC+01) therefor now just waiting confirmation from ofp for such date or if not a alternative working date to schedule this. waiting as well for picks and blocks for this from both starting from ofp as home team of this second ecounter. keep in mind so far storm3tourney1, reqdm5, goldleaf, 7++, 6++, teddm1 have been picked in this match up so they can not be picked again.
if anything just let me know, otherwise see you tomorrow in game.
that's what was last agreed on firm and thus what I wrote on the PM card but just as semi posted, apparently they finally decided 21:30 was better which is why I updated it later on in the public card and tournament record. we can do any of both so just post it here if something changes, but obviously I need to know it on time to show up and organize otherwise I might be late. as of now I'm planning for 21:30 which is apparently what they last agreed. btw tomorrow against ofp it will be 19:00 CET (21:00 MCK).
ok guys the match between tto and dt has concluded in the first ever recorded draw in a game that as anticipated the picks proved crucial. very interesting results, unfortunately at the wait of add up and revision but unless I missed something I think now tto best result in the supercup is a second place if they manage to secure a strong win against ofp this week and ofp/dt straight up beat each other and thus the first place will become a direct dispute between dt and ofp with a pending second game between tto and ofp still potentially posing as decisive depending on the ofp-dt results so definitively the heat is just getting started. one I hadn't comment yet is that one of the advantages of scoring draws, first in my opinion it's the more fair, tie-breakers are always controversial and they feel short to decide a winner on such close games (overall), and second and more importantly in the context of a regular season they keep the scoreboard a lot more open so they definitively feel like a improvement to me. ok, as said, enough talk and I think that it's time to get this updated and reviewed accordingly. ggs, very well played both.
ok so I think that unless I missed something everything now complete with this night results. as said, on the still possible outcomes, many things still very open. first things first, looks like more likely than not (well better not anticipate anything but mathematically) The Team One is gonna finish this none other than as a third place since their chances for the second place, although still possible, are slim since just by taking one more map dt would secure the second place regardless of any other score. that doesn't mean they are done for since as anticipated their final showdown with ofp could prove decisive for the final outcome in the event dt and ofp for example would draw both games (another great real example of how draws add to the competitiveness at this level). the "easiest" path to victory at the time of writing would come from ofp that basically could just tank up all their home maps and three draws would secure them the title provided they remain competitive in the rest of the games of course. unlikely but once again another great example that takes away uncertainty /"luck" from the competitiveness. other than that now obviously the dt-ofp match up kicking off tomorrow 19:00 CET becomes a straight up supercup grand final meaning that whoever takes both encounters claim the championship. as said, and this is just a short variation with only three teams with more teams the variations and possibilities are now virtually endless so definitively looking forward how this ultimately plays out. additionally on the always controversial balance topic I think these results overall confirm for a fact (not a projection or a "impression") that, to be honest, much to my surprise, but the refereeing put in place does actually work and as far as I see it everything looks at least reasonably balanced so definitively looking forward how it plays out for the rest of the teams here hopefully in another more elaborate edition in a couple of months if everything goes according to plan.
and I think that's all by now, for the rest please do not forget that both decisive ofp-dt and ofp-tto fights are still pending schedule then please do not leave that for the very last minute as reminded already several times. I assume that should be all set and just at the wait of actual decision for the Wednesday/Thursday the latest then please those involved stay tuned. have fun and good luck, ggs, very exciting so far.
we would like to ask to push tonights meeting back for 15 minutes (i.e. 7.15 PM CET). talked to the team and due to some obligations we we will not make 7 PM and we wanted to be transparent and manage expectations. sorry for the short notice.
I think starting 15 minutes later should be ok provided there's no further delays later on like yesterday for example. ok, great news, finally ofp just confirmed now the schedule for the second round against dt this Friday evening also 19:00 CET so just as a reminder/note here as usual this is what I currently have noted that is left to schedule within these days (yes, these days, now there's no more weeks to spare):
Week 2
OFP VS TTO: currently ofp is in for the suggested and noted Saturday 10 of January of 2026 19:00 CET (UTC+01) therefor now just at the wait of tto to confirm such date as well or come up with another date to dispute this. additionally ofp already picked reqdm5, teddm1, q3dm14 therefor now just waiting as well for tto to block one of those and to come back with three other different maps besides 6++, overkill, hub3tourney1, 7++, focal-p132, storm3tourney1, reqdm5, teddm1, q3dm14 of their own within the next days. as usual this has already been announced like a week ago thus this should almost be known in full by now then please get back about this to get it all set no later than the Wednesday/Thursday approx.
OFP VS DT: scheduled to be played this Friday 9 of January of 2026 19:00 CET (UTC+01) therefor now just at the wait of picks and blocks for this from both starting from ofp as home team. keep in mind so far storm3tourney1, reqdm5, goldleaf, 7++, 6++, teddm1 have been picked in this match up so they can not be picked again. please note that the deadlines for these choices are pretty much "as we speak" now (i.e. ofp picks no later than tomorrow, dt ones no later than Wednesday and final ofp block no later than Thursday) then please stay tuned and don't drag it more than necessary.
and I think that's all by now, as usual, if anything just let me know. good luck and have fun.
ok the game is over and what a showdown it was. finally ofp prevailed in a fight where they dominated their home maps as expected from some super specialists and not only they kept it competitive on their opponent choices that they even managed to outwork the reigning defending champions in one of their maps to secure a 3:1 victory this night that initially unless I missed something inches them closer to the final first place as they are now the only team that depends on themselves for the championship since with this result they'd just need one more win out of the their two remaining games (and don't do anything stupid in between of course, like disrespect the competition for example) to secure the tittle. overall a over the top game, all-star kind of caliber, so very well played both and ggs. ok, now I go update all this and review/confirm all this as usual so stay tuned.
ok unless I missed something I think that now everything done with this evening games videos included (just on their way to YouTube, it will take it time to digest that, then later at night the inside ones will complete all in under 4x time ratios now for YouTube and under 6x for the inside ones, that's around a third of time reduction compared to the previous server, good stuff). as I just wrote, legend tier games, very good match, statistically speaking the difference, beside the mastery of the home maps, lied in the thawing (25:53) or most likely in ofp perceived superior (comparatively speaking) team play that frustrated dt collective efforts denying them their attempts. specifically the key and potentially deciding moment came in the third where ofp pressure pretty much dried up dt thawing. that was the key as for fighting ability they were pretty much evenly matched, very exciting. for the rest, as said, my quick computations were indeed right and now ofp is just one more win away from the championship meaning thus that is the only team that depends on itself to claim victory since even if they were to lose 0:3 this Friday in the second round against dt they will still have another chance by "simply", and I remark the quotes as there's no easy fights here, beating (or even drawing depending on the scorecards) once again tto the Saturday. needless to say all options for the victory for dt pass first from winning the Friday, any other result, draw included, would immediately make ofp champions right on the spot so the next game is definitively a match point. when in comes to the rest of the positions with this outcome the third place has been finally mathematically ("realistically" it was already) decided in favor of tto as dt took the last map they needed to secure at least the second place right from the get go so they will just fight for the record and to determine how close they finally end up from the second (they could even end up drawing dt in the scoreboard although the draw would benefit the former due such map advantage) which is not a minor thing so definitively some very interesting games still await.
