House Rules
  • Every gauntlet fight is 2-v-1: a pair of challengers team up against tx.
  • All games are Mirror — every player plays the same civ (drawn at random each game). No counter-civ picks against the boss.
  • One game per fight. Beat tx and both partners qualify for the 1-v-1 playoff.
  • tx only wins the cup by defending every fight. One loss and he's out.
  • The moment tx drops a fight, the gauntlet ends — any pair that hadn't fought him yet advances straight into the playoff.
