As we are an international team with a number of players from the AP time zones as well, we are currently building up a Asian Pacific/Oceanic team to complement our NA and EU teams.

To form this new team we are looking for both ambitious new pilots as well as seasoned veterans with a competitive mindset.

If you...

... have a competitive mindset and want to play MWO as an e-sport.

... want to compete on the highest level in a top e-sports-team and participate in tournaments and leagues.

... are ready to commit the necessary time for regular practice, training, scrimmages, leagues and tournaments.

... are ambitious, willing to learn and want to improve continually.

... like an international environment with pilots from all parts of the Asia Pacific/Oceanic region and the rest of the world and you are fluent in English.

... are a team player, helpful and just a nice person. Come join us!


We offer all our pilots a mentoring program as they enter the unit, a comprehensive training program with a variety of proven training methods, regular scrimmages with other top e-sports teams and the chance to play in our league teams, whether in AP, NA or EU.

We consider pilots of all levels, but do require that they possess a willingness to learn. We give all our pilots an opportunity to practice together and scrim other teams, believing that training players gives the best results.

Training times:
Europe Side - from 8pm GMT (3pm EST) Tuesday / Wednesday / Thursday
North America Side - from 9pm EST (1am GMT) Tuesday / Wednesday / Thursday
Oceanic Side - from 8 PM AEST (4 AM EST/9 AM GMT) Tuesday/Wednesday/Saturday
Combined EU and NA practice on Sundays

We also have a fun drinking event weekly on Saturdays at 9 PM EST (1 PM AEST Sunday)--Booze and Battlemechs!

Bump! We're steadily gaining new members for our oceanic team. Give us a go, and jump on our teamspeak! We are on most days.

Playing this game with esport in mind is certainly appealing, but I do have to ask if an Australian/NZ/Oceania team is viable purely on the basis that our internet will always(at least for the next decade or so) have latency issues. The few times I have considered esport seriously I basically came to the conclusion that I would need to move from Australia to the US/Europe because of the latency issues and the internet services here overall.

That being said latency is only a smallish part of the equation and would be great to have a chat regarding your goals etc for an Oceanic/APAC/etc team to see if I would be a good fit as I am interested in having a red hot go.

I'm a reliable member on both the NA and EU teams. Latency isn't so bad--it's more packet loss that is the killer. Just gotta practice so you know where to lead your shots.
We have training tonight if you want to come on and say g'day! We can talk more then. (8 PM AEST)

(And we're actually on right now, too!)

Time to say thank you to OMC. As we are still a small unit in AP/Oceanic, we joint forces with OMC for this Season of MRBC and it has been a blast. Together we came 2nd overall in AP Division A. Thank you guys it was really fun and we are looking forward to continue our cooperation.

In the meantime a couple of players joined our team and we are happy about the great talent we acquired already. If you are interested in playing mwo as an e-sport and want to challenge the best teams in the region, come and join Antares Scorpions.

[Guillocuda]

We have training tonight, in half an hour! Come along and see what we're like. All welcome!

Bumping for grate justis.

We are still here, and we have a solid core of dedicated pilots. Starting to branch out and scrim more after helping OMC with MRBC this season.

Give us a go! Our teamspeak has no password; antares-scorpion.typefrag.com

[Paradox42]

Awesome scrim yesterday. AP/Oceanic be prepared! If you are not with us, you might be on the wrong end of our guns!

[Guillocuda]

We are getting to the point of reliable 8-mans and scrimming regularly. In an AP region and interested in playing competitively? Give us a look!

[Guillocuda]

We are still growing, and will be attending this upcoming season of MRBC. Look forward to meeting the other AP/OCE units in battle!

Also looking for new and old comp players to join us! We have a very talented core of players.

No classism, no egos, no drama queens, only nice people.

We are looking for active players who are interested in team-play, no matter if more comp, CW, or casual orientated.
