Hail Kinsmen!
I wish to present to you a video of the Isengrim's 1v1 Bloodsmoot tournament.
This is a video from our second round, fought last Saturday. I post it here for the entertainment of all Space-Vikings!

In snow-swept blizzard and upon fiery ashen hill we battled our holmgang duels for the glory of the All-Father.

Is using Cool shot in a duel like using potions in MMO duels? Or is it I guess considered more tactical since it's technically MWO's version of "Coolant flush" which is perfectly normal to use otherwise?

Pretty good fights here!

Hopefully we can have a go at each other some time. Though the 5th isn't into competitive builds and following the meta train, we ARE competitively spirited and love a good fight!

I would love to get the 1st RDR into this. Looks like fun. Also there are those in the inner sphere who practice the old way as well! We welcome the Jarnfolk as brothers lost on the wave!

I can think of no better way to welcome the coming Yule Season than with a Bloodsmoot, or "Meeting of Blood".

For the next 4-5 weeks the Bloodsmoot will continue until only a single warrior stands supreme!
It will be a glorious time.

In the Deep Periphery the only way to measure victory is through survival. All things are allowed in our holmgang duels. Cool shots, Airstrikes, Dual AC-20's and everything between them. So long as you spill blood in the name of the One-Eyed God your battle is consecrated and legitimate beneath his fiery gaze.

Extremely fun. Nothing gets the heart pounding like a 1v1 with 22 of your fellow warriors watching.

No place for Meta in Duels!

the Hell with Meta

I'm glad to run with mates who dont expect me to run the latest Fotm, or force me into a specific role or mech loadout, even in 12v12
although I'm a bit glad no one brought a locust ;-)

I think my heart wasnt pounding as much as in that duel for quite some time :-)

I hope PGI comes around a bit faster so we can arange some practice matches and can compete with our FRR brothers in a more planned/tournament like fashion ;-)

wonder why PGI isnt making money of this idea yet :-)

I tried to access your website to bring up the possibility of joint-exercises like this.. but I spent weeks in limbo waiting to be accepted and they asked me if we even had any players cuz they never see folks post with an Isengrim banner.. and i just got tired of waiting and gave up..

You applied October 22 and were approved the 28th, sorry about that. Enjin might not have sent you an email about it, you're definitely registered at this point.

Awesome job, Dane!

Too bad i've been out of town for so long. I didn't know this was going on. I look forward to seeing who wins it all, though. Good luck to the remaining combatants!

I'm a proud Isengrim participant in the 1st and 2nd Bloodsmoot.
This is possibly the most fun I've had in MWO to date...
Also, behold the glory of the YULE SIGNATURE !!! :(

Now that the season has come to an end it is sudden death single elimination time.

I coulda used graphic programs to make a fancy bracket, but this is the Bloodsmoot and we're from the Deep Periphery. Nothing pretty or fancy about what we're doin' here.

Glorious day of duels! This video shows the battles in our Medium and Assault Brackets, we'll have the heavy bracket video up later this week. Included at the end is a couple bonus rounds, specifically TheBiza fighting and winning in two back to back duels (these bonus rounds had no actual baring on the Bloodsmoot.)

In the video for Jynn and LSUTigerTank's fight it calls LSUTigerTank "Ramwold".

You'll notice in the bracket that substitutions had to be made - as some people didn't show up. This was to be expected and we just rolled with it.
12 matches determined the 12 'MechWarriors who would compete next week and the 12 who didn't make it.

Do you feel that chill in the air?

About that time again for another round of Bloodsmoot.

When winter yawns its first hoary-gasp,
When sky turns grey with promise,
When the hearth grows warm,
The earth grows cold,
and our blood boils for battle.

The Bloodsmoot will begin.
