2021 Outrider Cup (Outrider Cup II) was the Players Committee biennial Europe versus United States team event on GEMP, November 2021 – 26 January 2022. Team Europe defeated Team USA in a captains' tiebreaker after the 12 regulation games finished 6–6.[1]

On 26 January 2022 Europe's captain Bastian Winkelhaus (Quiet Mining Colony / ISB Operations) defeated USA's captain Joe Olson (Carbon Chamber Testing / Let The Wookiee Win (V)) in that tiebreaker. Team USA had stormed back from a 4–1 deficit to force the extra match. Olson and Justin Desai went 2–0 in their two match-ups; Winkelhaus was the lone 2–0 for Team Europe. Dark Side finished 8–4 across the 12 regulation games.[1]

Jared Napolitano was tournament director, with Bill Kafer and Dan Tartaglione assisting where there was a conflict of interest. Gogolen's 2019 format carried over: six players a side from 2020–2021 Player of the Year points plus captain's picks, and no two teammates on the same objective.

Matches

The wrap names the 6–6 regulation score, the 4–1 Europe lead USA came back from, Olson and Desai at 2–0, Winkelhaus as Europe's only 2–0, and the 26 January 2022 tiebreaker. It does not publish a 12-row pairing table. Individual games are on the PC YouTube playlist; sourced pairings below are those named in the wrap or in a stream title.

The stream of game 8 (Europe 5–2 at the start) also scheduled Winkelhaus on The Galaxy May Need A Legend against Paul Myers as the next match; that pairing is not repeated in the wrap.
