It would nice if devs add additional information on total number of qualifying matches to the tournaments page. Manually going through the entire match history to calculate MC gain isn't convenient.

thanks for making assists worth more than kills!


Why is that a good thing? It didn't work very well on past events. The problem is that people go in, try to "paint" every target and then think twice before killing because it is more profitable to do the assist.
Kills and Assists should be worth the same, keeping it simple.

I dunno, this time I really think they have come up with a winning formula.

Remember you don't have to get MAX points, only the 130.

Also remember the raw damage done is factored in even if you don't get any kills or assists.

The only way to really lose is if you get killed instantly due to some rookie mistake. Which, well, shouldn't be rewarded anyway. ;)

Or if your team dont get enough kills. Cause assists are crucial here

Don't you just have to do 130 damage, total (assuming no friendly damage, shame shame).

Even in a 12-0 stomping with no kills and no assists, if you manage to do 130 damage you will still get the MC reward.

Or maybe I'm reading the formula wrong.

Oops didn't see the / 15 there. So you would have to do 1950 damage with no kills or assists.

Hmm well not as easy as I thought, guess you really do have to be mercenary to get the freebies in this one!

You're reading it wrong.

If you are roflstomped, you would need 1950 damage to get there. (130 points * 15 damage per point)

That's not possible since most roflstomps usually require the opposing team to be inept and that usually does not result in the damage necessary to get the points.

Only a bad roflstomp would generally prevent getting the points.

20 counting matches each day, hardly possible for a working guy, but a good even, everyone will get soem stuff of more or less value.

nonsense you can hardly dela this damage without killing anyone, so extremely unlikely someone does this amount and not getting any kill/assist.
