So I am super excited for the launch event and can't wait to find out more details on it.

So I got to thinking on how they would balance it? Perhaps by Drop weight? Every team has so many tons to play with? Perhaps by a Free for all where anyone can take what they want and lets see how it all plays out? Maybe each teams must have 3 lights, 4 mediums, 3 heavies and 2 assaults?

Personally I honestly hope they assign team mechs!

How cool would that be.

Every Team has

Commando-3A
Jenner-k
Cicada-3C
Blackjack-BJ1

Hunchback-4J
Kintaro-20
Dragon-5N
Catapult-C1

Cataphract-1X
Orion-V
Awesome-8Q
Atlas-D

Then we have to figure out who plays what and what builds we are going to use.

So it would both be a challenge in skill but also one of build design rather than just top Tier meta. I like the idea of a tourney that forces people a bit out of their comfort zones with builds and mechs that they normally wouldn't run.

Your throughts?

Lol, see even that I would be cool with.

Too many heavies on the list not enough Mediums, it'll prolly be something like 2 Lights 6 Mediums 2 Heavies 2 Assaults, or 3 Lights 5 Mediums 3 Heavies and 1 Assault.

[DocBach]

I think I signed up for a medium slot, because my thought process was "most people will apply for assault and if I do something different I might have a better chance at an invite"

Ditto + I looked at my mech garage and I noticed that I owned founder light, med, heavy, assault, sarah mech, cicada, trebuchet, kintaro, quickdraw, awesome, stalker, and realized I owned more mediums than any other weight class, so I figured medium would be the way to go.

I actually like medium mechs and I am able to be quite competitive with them in 12v12, group drops, and solo.

[Carrioncrows]

I signed up for Medium as well.

Hard to beat a CN9-A with a STD 200 engine, Ultra5, 2 meds and 3 srm4's.

The only thing my KTO-18 fears is dual AC/20, dual Gauss, 4 AC/5, 3 UAC/5, 2 AC/5 1 UAC/5, or anything similar along those lines of builds. I actually try to avoid AC/20's altogther XD

Oh yeah? Quad SRM6 + Arty with a ASRM4 and 2 meds to back up the splat?

Good to see some KTO's are getting some love.

Nope, 1 MLas, 1 TAG, 1 BAP, 4 SSRM2's, and a LRM 20/w Artemis. When the LRM 20 is mounted on the side torso, the Kintaro has an impressive 20 tubes.

I don't need to watch to know that any team PGI fields is going to get the ever loving **** kicked out of it.

I'm pretty sure the Tourny is going to be us players only, no PGI employees included XD

[Strawbz]

Nvidia Santa Clara closed beta event/tournament way back a year or two ago was basically default mechs, no loadout changes, no team/weight restrictions, eg. full team of assaults or whatever you wish.

Teams were filled improptu which wasn't great/"fair" (*cough* beta testers stacked teams) but whatever the tournament wasn't the reason for going anyway.

They had great beer and munchies for that event

Don't forget about those pesky Canuks! I will be anchoring a boat race team at this event for sure! A free beer to the first person to explain what a boat race is!
