Ok. I just finished a match. 2 10 and 987 damage, and if the light mechs didnt save me a few times I wouldnt have got close to that. Was a long match and everyone was out of ammo except energy users. I had 1 ERLL at the end and got KS'ed a few times but was a great match.

May as well add that match was a light mech victory. I was near down wandering around with ERLL as they took down the last Atlas(desperately trying to get a target circling with no luck), Centurian(out of ammo), and a Kit Fox that still had Lrm's(legged).

Waiting for tournament update now.

The Challenge was rough I ended at 41th place with my TW (I bought it 7 Oct)

I had 9 top damage (highest damage of all players during the match) so I am happy about that

The Jager I have I was 94th, pretty sad but it’s hard to go back to the Jager after being in the 89KPH TW

Placed #51 in the Kit Foxes, which is kinda fun considering I'd only ran them a half dozen times since I got them (and haven't played lights since the Great Locust Fiasco of May 2014.) It was a learning experience, so I'll take that as a plus. Would've liked to break 50, but those last few matches were rough. It was fun seeing "other" Mechs out and about during the tourney. I haven't seen that many Dragons and Orions in ages.

24th in Mad Dog. Was as high as 4th at one point, hovered most of the comp around 10th but my rising ELO ended up capping my performance (as per the tournament's measure) with the build I was running.

I am not into "gaming the system" which I would have had to have done to get any higher so I am happy with where I ended up really (Note this is not suggesting that those above me did I am simply referring to my own experience, my build, and how things were going).

#35 Battlemaster with 1799 score.

I hadn't run my BLR-1D for a long time. Last time I did run it was PPC+3xAC2 and 4 MLs, but I soon found out AC2s aren't as useful anymore as they were back then. Switched 'em to 2xAC5 and went to town with better cooling and almost identical DPS with the cooldown module.

Imagine my disappointment when I realised 4 kill 300 damage matches aren't going to get me anywhere. I should've gone with the 1S LRM boat for those sweet 900 damage 10 assist matches...

Hadn't driven my C1(F) seriously in a while. Placed 76 with 1574 points, which I'm fine with since it's not an lrm build and I didn't play the whole time.

Early in the weekend, I'd managed to get up to 13th Catapult. Couldn't get more than 3 kills in any game, specially when the team completely stomped the enemy.
Had some really great games though, including one with a fellow C1(F) who helped coordinate to great effect.

Rank 8 with the Griffin at the time of finish. Please don't make me solo queue again.

Also: Odwalla, teach us your secrets!

I didn't play.

My score reflects this.


Logged on Sunday night to play private matches with my unit. Was mildly aware a challenge was happening, but completely uninspired to spend free-time participating in it.

#66 on the Atlas list, 1696 score. 1x AC20, 3xSRM4, 2xML, STD350, ECM brawler setup. Had only like 8-10 hours to play and had quite some bad runs. No match with > 1K damage, best I got was 4 kills, 977 damage. I simply enjoy it too much to charge on Dire Wolves and take them out, even if I am pretty much done afterwards. :rolleyes:

Strange enough I had no lag or hit reg issues, LRMs were also ezpz thanks to ECM + Radar Derp.

I was really confused why the MM sometimes put me into matches together with some of the top ranked players. I am for sure not in that ELO range.

5th place in my COM-1B Commando.

Games were very much feast or famine for the most part with a few "average" wins sprinkled in. I had a 6 kill, 750 damage match that somehow I lost. That was the most upsetting game of the tourney as that would have probably put me in the top 3 if it were a win. I guess I didn't carry hard enough in my little commando.

Actually dropped a couple of games with some of the other top 5 commandos. COM-1B was the variant of choice it seemed.

I enjoyed the event and I don't get why there is so much solo queue hate. I find the group queue full of worse players who get rolled by eight and twelve man groups easily.

185th place. I was in 12th-14th place most of Friday. Then server issues, and I dropped to 85th cause I couldn't stay in game. The 10 hour shift Saturday and I was 120th, put in a few rounds got tired, went to sleep 10 hour Sunday, came home and slept to Monday morning. Didn't try hard to hold my place. The MC would have been nice, but I don't kid myself. I am not a top 10 kinda player.

Centurion (Yen-Lo Wang) 55, Raven (2X) 72. I really wish they could put up total number of players/chassies. For us nowhere near top spot that would give extra motivation.

7th in Blackjacks.

Early yesterday evening I had a 7 kill, 3 assist, 980 damage game that we lost :(

It was on Canyon Network. Came down to me and an X5 teammate, against a Warhawk and Stormcrow. I had stripped both of their back armor a couple of minutes before. The Warhawk was boating LRMS and the X5 was tied up with the Stormcrow, so I ran over and finished the Warhawk's back to kill him, but in the meantime the Stormcrow had killed the X5. Wound up circling the Stormcrow for about a minute or two but could never get behind him to his weak armor. Eventually he killed me and I felt like I was going to throw up.

255 points down the drain. I think that game might have put me close to first place.

Played this one pretty casually. Friday night I played for a number of hours. Saturday night maybe a dozen or so drops. Nothing Sunday. Last night did another dozen drops after work when I had a little time. Ended up 6th in Banshee.

Just bought Banshees about 2 weeks ago and finished eliting the 3E during tournament. Almost done mastering the 3S and 3M.

What layout you ran on the Banshee 3E?

Too bad that the leaderboard was not broken down to each chassis variant, would have been very interesting.
