Far from being unknown in the online game world, HP and Intel are organizing a totally new 2v2 tournament in Europe to promote the last PC gamer, HP Phoenix.

The HP Trophy is an international tournament for two-player teams with 5 200 € (6,700 $) cash prize. The organization should be flawless since Llewellys, Millenium SC2 team's manager, is head coordinator of the tournament.

48 teams will run for this event. Here is the perfect opportunity for you and your teammate to take part in a high level competition.

Trailer of the 2v2 tournament


Official Website


(Wiki)http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/HP Trophy


It is very easy to subscribe to the tournament: just send an email to hptrophy@gameo-consulting.com with the name of both players, prize list and league. Since it should be a big event, a selection will be done. A Millenium team will participate but we'll announce the player names later on.

More information will be available soon, but here are the main items to take note of:

- Two-player teams
- 48 teams dispatched into 8 groups of 6. The 16 best teams will be
qualified in a final bracket.
- Match format : 4x 1v1, 1x 2v2
- Cash prize: 5 200 € (6,700 $)
- The best matches will be streamed by Millenium TV every Saturday afternoon starting January 7th for two months, but other streams may be accepted (contact Llewelys).

So, if you like Starcraft 2, tournaments and 2v2 games, what are you waiting for ?!

Some more 2v2s tournaments popping out, really appreciate Millenium giving us an opportunity to see competitive 2v2.

Really wish the 2v2 format was picked up by more prestigious names (MLG, DreamHack) or even GSL [or perhaps I'm just too optimistic]

Looking forward to the day when effing 2 v 2s disappear again, this game was never made for that type of shit.

BUT: Good to see more support for esports and starcraft 2, even if this was effing 4 v 4 I'd still be happy about another tournament, especially with big sponsor names like intel and hp, despite that I think anything that involves more than 1 person per team has no place in competitive starcraft.

That's some professional ban-dodging ... I suggest you get out and don't watch it if you don't like 2v2. I like it and I'll watch it. And I'm not ready to have you deny me the possibility to see competitive 2v2.

The 1v1 requirement of this tournament filters out the 2v2 teams that don't have high-profile 1v1 players. This is a good thing for the tournament viewers, hosts, admins and sponsors since it is bringing in more already-famous and popular players rather than "those unknown guys that are good on the 2v2 ladder" ;P

But this is not a 2v2 tournament imo. It is a definition thing and everyone will have their own opinion. But I feel like "2v2 tournament" should be reserved for 2v2 only tournaments like the... 4PL Team Action, z33k masters weekly, PTSL, Competo team, CaseKing/instarcraft and ESL Holiday tournament, to name a few, and not be confused with a 2-man team tournament.

This tournament is more like a mini EG Masters Cup. It probably helps the future 2v2 scene some as we will see more and more high-profile 1v1 players training 2v2 and some great 2v2 games. Maybe the current 2v2-scene will be obsolete and dead in a few months due to a new influx of pro players jumping on n kicking ass. It's a good thing. The existing players in the underground 2v2 scene that still wish to continue will finally have some decent opponents to play against. It's something we've been missing for a long time.

Any tournament is good and any incorporation of 2v2 is awesome, so this tournament has my support. I'm sure all the premade 2v2 teams were shitting their pants hearing about the prize pool only to read about the 1v1 requirement tho. Contrary to popular belief, there are some 2v2 players out there that do not play 1v1 for the same reasons as many 1v1 players don't play 2v2.

It doesn't really mean much for this tournament as we will have the big names and I'm sure there will be awesome games nonetheless. And this tournament is good for 2v2, in the long run. Because there are still a ton of people that still don't understand or don't believe in competitive 2v2.

However, the recent ESL Holiday tournament showed the public how awesome it can be with pure 2v2 tournaments. I don't think there's any reason to not let go of that 1v1 requirement for future "2v2 tournaments". Especially if you want to market it as one. I hope we can have even more pure 2v2 tournaments alongside the hybrid ones in the future. glhf gg to all 1v1 players and best of luck to the old premade 2v2 teams, you'll need it if you want to have a chance in this one lol

tldr: nice tourney, thx mill&hp, still room for more more 2v2 only tournaments

Is this a 2v2 tournament or a clan league with 1 2v2 match? Sort of confusing.

The format is the same as the "Davis Cup" in tennis. 2 1v1 then 1 2v2 and finally 2 1v1. If a team lead 3 0, the match is finished, no matter about the other match

It's more a clan League of 2 players (they can be from different teams, for exemple Demuslim + Ret, this team as already sign up), with 4 1vs1 in BO3 and 1 2v2 in Bo3

Yesterday Llewellys said "Nerchio/Osho", sorry

But your right, it would be huge.
