After a very interesting Drututt Ultimate Showdown in the middle of 2023, Drututt is back to entertain us once again. Here's everything u need to know about DUS 2.
The Drututt Ultimate Showdown is a tournament hosted by Polish streamer Maksymilian "Drututt" Przychodzień. It was one of the biggest unlicensed events of 2023, and even though it was unlicensed, Riot Games itself helped with the event by giving Drututt and the players access to the tournament realm.
The last DUS was won by the German streamer/ex-pro player team “NNO” featuring big German streamers like Agurin and NoWay4u.
This time the competition will be even fiercer as many ex-pro players have signed up. The tournament will use the Fearless Draft mode and all matches will be best of five. Fearless Draft means that once a champion is selected by either side, that champion will be banned for the rest of the series for both teams.
The best tournament is coming back, please retweet so i can find captains for the missing countries, would apprecite it deeply :3

Same rules as last one, but this time bigger. Since twitch rivals are always shit i decided to host a better one myself.

DUS Start Date, Teams, And Prize Money
DUS will start on December 7 and will run until the 12. There will be 9 teams competing from different countries and 3 more teams with familiar faces from the community.

As you can see, some teams are incredibly stacked with a lot of ex-pros or high challenger players. Team Nemesis, for example, has ex-LCS champion Zven and C9 coach veigarv2, as well as a challenger jungler and top laner. Not to forget that nemesis was a pro player himself some time ago and has been playing Korean Solo Queue for almost 2 years now.
There are also some high ELO one-trickers in the teams, as well as content creators and streamers. Fearless Draft will make the tournament very interesting as it won't be as repetitive as official tournaments.The prize money has not been announced yet, but NNO took home twenty thousand euros in September, while second place got five thousand euros. Personally, I think Nemesis will take it all, but he has some serious competition in the Polish, Turkish, and German teams.
