What is the history of Champion's Cup?

Question

I noticed that it was possible to win recently a Champion's Cup  in the TibiaHome contest. As far as I know, this item was only available in soccer contests. Anyone know the stories related to this item?

If anyone has one in Pacera let me know I need it for my collection and am interested in learning more about the history.

Answer 1

The item Champion's Cup - just as the Bronze and Silver Cups of Honour - could always be awarded in fansite contests. If you check the English TibiaWiki's page on the Champion's Cup, you can see it was awarded in a contest held by TibiaCubix, a fansite that does not exist anymore for 5 years.

It's great that there is a chance to get it, the price will probably not be that high anymore.

The cups of honour are in the prize list as long as I can remember. They are just not picked for contests much often because they don't fit to non-sport-related contests. Nothing has changed recently on this regard, so I wouldn't expect a change on the amount of theses items and, consequently, their price.

From what I noticed recently, there were definitely two competitions with these cups, I'm not sure if not three.

Answer 2

So I actually own one on Calmera, I won it playing for the TibiaNews team with a few close friends. We played in the first two competitions, placing 2nd then 1st. Everyone was level 8, we had to pick up a bag that weighed our exact total capacity to ensure no speed boosts were being used, and there were 4 players on each team. We were really good, though TibiaMx just beat us the first year. We came back and kicked ass the second. There was a third soccer cup, but TibiaNews had since dissolved and many of my friends (including me) had quit. I have my trophies visible in a tiny house in Carlin on Calmera next to the depot, where they’ll stay forever

What a beautiful story! I own 2 soccer trophies I purchased 1 directly from someone who participated as well he said it looks better in a house rather than his depot. Everyone will forever miss Tibianews!
