The collaboration between Vanilla and other parties has expanded and in doing so has brought together a fantastic one night cup, packed with e-sports talent but with a difference.

The premise was simple - to get existing e-sports teams from other games to take on each other in Team Fortress 2, the winner of which going on to face a "super-group" comprised of Valve staff and other e-sports figures.

In the mix are the CKRAS CS:S team, Epsilon's CoD4 team, Epsilon's Brink team and Xotic's Left 4 Dead squad. Each will be given a medic mentor so they can concentrate on the fragging. Their prize? To face a line-up made up of the following squad:

TotalBiscuit (Youtube hero)
Robin Walker (head of TF2 dev.)
Jon Lippincott (head of Replay dev.)
Dr. Gonzo (Editor of Cadred)
theSucker (medic for SNSD)
Macisum (awesome demoman)

The details of the cup are as follows:
