64 Games / 36 Wins - 30 Points .24 wins with my Atlas-S 5 with Dire and the very last point with a Crab.

Seen a lot of trial assaults and a lot of greed and some Tk , from time to time nice players sparing the last red cored enemies for those without a kill.
Was an interesting challenge but changed the player behavier much more in the bad direction then then the Victor challenge in my opinion. Wasn´t fun sometimes with teammates jumping infront of you despite your gunfire just to grab the kill or getting your back opened by your ´friendly firering´ team.

But thx for the mech anyway.

Being cored by friendlies seems to be thing. 142 matches to get my free mech, was a hard slog, high ping, frequent de-syncs, so glad it is over.

Honestly, my experience with the friendly fire has been quite different.

Of all games played during this challenge, I haven't killed not a single teammate, neither deliberately or accidentaly.

The only case of teamkill on me was a moment when a friendly Cicada killed me in a brawl. Its pilot apologized me that in the very moment when he fired, the enemy 'Mech between him and me died, so his weapons fire went through and finished my damaged 'Mech. In this particular situation I would believe him.

I needed 5 more points when the launcher/patcher bug took me out of the final 24 hours of the comp. I feel robbed.

I sold the mech and bought a Locust. Super pleased with it so far!

Yeah...I did the Victor challenge, came up short on this one. Friday and Saturday the rotating loop download issue prevented me from getting online at all. Sunday night I wracked up 20. Monday morning the issue was back...and I only got through at 11:30 am. I got 10 games in in the remaining 90 minutes...but only won 8 of them. Sadly, 2 points short.

With the launcher issues, an extension would be nice...be if not, se la vie.

I had to go to work in weekend so it was out of my range to get this cataphract. It would be nice for those like me to extend trial by one day.
Other thing was players behavior. Most of them were compromising the win just for a kill. For example on alpine peaks my team moved towards mountain, but then appeared the lone spider so all of them rushed for this cookie. I don't have to say more, so you know how it ended --

It would be nice since there were plenty of people who could not complete it because of launcher issues, I was 8 games short from getting it but I had to go to work, get back home eager to jump in and win but nope the launcher won't work properly.

Then by the time it was working again the challenge only had 15 mins left.

It's wishful thinking but I doubt it will happen.

I am very disappointed you have chosen to yet again reward individual greed and min/maxing of mechs versus teamwork and team objective game play in the current MWO Tournament.

One easy to implement example of improving teamwork in the Tournament would be to turn off 'most kills' criteria for Assualt or Conquest. You might even consider a capture-the-flag game mode in the future. Thank you.
