  • The Elimination Round will consist of three 3-vs-3 matches.
  • Players will be randomly assigned to a team by the event host.
  • Players will be reassigned to a new team between each match.
  • Matches will be scored based on a Swiss Style Point System. 2 points for a win, 1 point for a tie/draw, 0 points for a loss. If a team forfeits (or refuses to fight their opponent) the forfeiting team will recieve 0 points, while the remaining team will receive 2 points for a win.

Bug or someone, let's team.
I just skimmed through but do we have to stay on the same toon throughout the different events?

For instance, I understand not switching in team portion but are you required to stay on the same toon for the 1 v 1 v 1?

Never mind, I just read the rules.
See you Sunday folks!

Questions about the game, either side? /t @Neuronia or @Neuronium, with your queries!

Gratz Mr. Lib on winning on his Psy/EM, in a cage match against an Ill/Emp and Ninja Dark.

That was pure craziness but loads of fun.
More of these types of events please.

That last match was a little intense, glad it ended up there instead of some wide open map.

Definitely a fun event, everything went smooth. Hoping to see more like it!

Yeah had lots of fun, even though my thugs/traps was obviously a bad choice for this particular tourney. Everyone kept outrunning me :P. It was still a blast, can't wait for the next one. Gratz to the winners.

Lesson learned. I don't make for a very good taunt bot.
