+If your New Year's resolution is to become a mapper, a solid first step would be experimenting with any of the **40** songs we added to our Featured Artist library today!
+
+![](/wiki/shared/news/banners/featured-artist.jpg)
+
+osu!'s [Featured Artist library](https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmaps/artists) has over **450** talented musicians at this point. While we usually reserve weekends for new artist announcements, we have a bunch of tracks from older artists to showcase, so... that's what we're doing.
+
+Any new songs are marked with a **NEW** icon on the Featured Artist listing.

+
+Last year, we added two tracks created for a visual novel ([INTERNET OVERDOSE](https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmapsets/1687132) and [INTERNET YAMERO](https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmapsets/2074198)) to [**Aiobahn**](https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmaps/artists/166)'s Featured Artist catalogue, and this year we're adding one more **KOTOKO** collaboration to the mix.

+Solo metal producer [**Andy Gillion**](https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmaps/artists/302) has been intently producing music since his reveal as a Featured Artist two years ago, resulting in a debut of his new album *Exilium* at the end of last year. Its opening track *Prophecy* made its way here.

+date: 2025-01-05 00:00:00 +0000
+---
+
+Calling all drum smashers — after a year and a half of inactivity, Global Taiko Showdown is finally back! We are kicking things off with EGTS 2025, its fourth and final iteration!
+
+![](/wiki/shared/news/2025-01-05-egts-2025-registrations-now-open/banner.jpg)
+
+
+
+
+
+As it has been 3 years since the last edition, here's a refresher on what EGTS, GTS' flagship tournament, is about. Since 2021, the tournament has strived to provide entirely custom-made mappools complemented by original designs and songs, working towards adding even cooler things with every iteration: this time around, get ready for official rhythm game collaborations, including [Phigros](https://twitter.com/Phigros_PGS), [vivid/stasis](https://twitter.com/hajimeli_vs) and more! We are not planning on slowing down anytime soon. Look forward to this final run.
+
+We will also bring a staple from our rank-restricted GTS tournaments to EGTS, being our All-Stars showmatch, taking place on the Grand Finals weekend before the matches! This is a 4v4 showdown between 12 chosen players placed in two teams of 6. While other All-Stars participants were determined with a popularity vote, this is EGTS, which means the top 12 players by placement in the bracket will be directly invited!
+
+Regarding the tournament's format, two changes are to be noted: instead of 96 players making it to a double-elimination bracket like in 2022, only the top **64 players** following a qualifier round will square off for glory. Mappool-wise, all songs used in the tournament will either come **from the Featured Artist listing**, or are **used with permission from the artist**.
+
+The tournament's detailed schedule and all relevant info for participating can be found below.
+
+## Tournament schedule

+| All Stars & Grand Finals | Mar 29 & Mar 30 |
+
+## Original content
+
+As we've stated earlier, EGTS releases a lot of original content through a variety of mediums. One the main ones, however, has been our story, which has been shown through short videos before the reveals of all past EGTS tiebreaker original songs, as well as the [COEGTS 2023 mappool showcase](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0I3UH7Al-lM).
+
+We're now reaching the end of that story coming in EGTS, so we've wanted to gift you a little something, with the first ever full-length MV we've made, and basically our ending theme.
+
+
+
+
+
+## How do I register?
+
+Registrations are currently open on the [GTS website](https://gratiaproductions.com/egts/home). Make sure to read all the rules for this tournament on there, and join the [GTS Discord server](https://discord.com/invite/3mGC3HB)!
+
+**The deadline for registering to this tournament is January 19, 23:59 UTC.**
+
+As long as you have done everything above, you will be instantly noted on the website as registered!
+
+*Notice: Registrations will be screened by osu! staff during the screening phase. In order to participate, you must not have violated the [osu! community rules](/wiki/Rules) in the past 12 months.*
+
+***Registration attempts after this deadline will not be accepted whatsoever. You have two weeks to think about whether you want to participate in this or not. No hesitation allowed, because this is your last chance ever.***
