After a slow start with just one win out of 12 matches, Ravenclaw went nuts, winning 18 of the remaining 33 matches since July 26. Congratulations to the TBR5 winners and thank you all for taking part. With the few unexpected leavers and the packed schedule, it wasn't always easy to find players. Therefore, also kudos to our four captains.
Feel free to post your congrats and feedback in here. We don't know what the next event is going to be. Maybe another TBR in winter? I dunno. Unless the other admins want to launch something, it's probably going to take a bit of time. Would be great if we'd see a bit more activity on the ladder again. On that note, take care!
As turbulent as June began for FFA, as quickly it calmed down. Ladder activity might return, but maybe it's not the worst thing to leave some of the drama behind. W3C is a great thing, but even the best ladder can't replace our FML family events. It's time for Team Battle Royale again. Yay! This is the thread to sign up and here are some of the details.
Since many of you don't seem to read stuff anyway, I try to keep it short and simple
TBR will take place from July 18 until August 16
It's an event with different FFA modes (4-way Standard, Random Hero, Team FFA and more)
Four pre-defined captains (they already know) will draft their teams from all signed up players. If we have more sign ups than expected, we consider a fifth team
This TBR will have 45 games per team, which is more than previously
Probably, there will be team cards again, no more preteam mode and more standard FFA
We will try to make TBR games anonymous as in the past by using shared accounts. If you are willing to help sponsoring them, please let me know!
We only accept players that are known to admins, due to the risk that comes with shared accounts
There will be a soft cap (no points) and a hard cap (can't play) for matches per player this TBR, to avoid some of the discussions we had in TBR4
If you want to participate, please post your name, nationality, race that you will play during TBR and why the captains shall draft you. Sign up deadline is probably going to be July 12.
After three months and an intense final on Frozen Marshlands, we crown Shave as the king of Season 31. Congratulations! I'm afraid your trolling might become even more annoying now. You deserve the title and I hope you finally realize that a new computer could be worth it to follow your digital dreams with a bit less FPS pain.
Thanks everyone for participating and making this an easy and fun season for all of us. Not much drama, plenty of scheduling effort and action-packed games. I hope we will see many active players on w3champions and there are further events in the making (smaller cups and potentially something in relation with the ladder). The next longer event will most likely not start before August, since I need a bit of a break.
I hope you enjoyed the season and feel free to post some feedback in here or via pm.
Update2: FFA succeeded in the poll. In order to support Pad and compensate for the programming hours, I would like to raise 500€ for the implementation of FFA into w3champions. Since this is what I agreed with Pad, I would try to collect the money via PayPal (hightacelf@gmail.com). If you want to add something to it (F10EX, Mage and me provide 150€ combined), I will make sure your name is on the donator list and will handle the money with care. Thank you all!
It's final time!!!! Congrats to Neytpoh and Junker for winning their semis and joining Qwest and Shave in the final of season 31. The game is going to be played in the upcoming 10 days (hopefully) on a map that Qwest is going to pick.
We are really fortunate to being featured on Back2Warcraft and the overall feedback is much much better than I would've expected in my wildest dreams.
...and the winner is the map Rockslide by Knecht. Congrats!
Thanks to everyone who put in the effort to create a map, as well as the ones judging and testing them. It was a blast and I hope to see many of the contest maps in future inhouse and league matches.
Not even three months and we made it to the playoffs. An exquisite selection of elite players can sharpen their pencils to update their CVs. What an achievement! Both semi-finals will be played with chat and hopefully by May 10, on maps picked by Seksi and Alien (by May 5).
Two players don't even have to bother with semis, since they stand at the top of their respective brackets. Congrats to Shave and Qwest for their tickets to the final.
