Hello MechWarriors! <o

The [CWX] 1v1 Tournament is back!

Our unit aims to enhance and enrich players’ experiences through a strong sense of community, and to facilitate connections between pilots with shared goals, whether the goals are casual, competitive, or anywhere in between.

We are applying those goals with the support of lots of great members of the community in hosting our second free-to-enter 1v1 tournament. It will take place on Saturday the 21st of January, 2017 at 1200 PST. The tournament will feature a simple best-of-three single-elimination format with bigger prizes than last time, and more of them! Every participant will receive two (2) 24-hour Premium Time codes and 1 entry into a raffle for a Bushwacker standard pack!

Prizes include:

7500 MC for 1st place (Tier 1)
5000 MC for 2nd place (Tier 1)
3500 MC for 3rd place (Tier 1)
Varying MC prizes for the TOP competitor of each Tier other than T1
There will be additional quirky in-game challenges for all participants ; more details in the "rules" link below.

The tournament will be broadcast live on https://Twitch.TV/CerridwynsKeep.

Registration for the tournament is completely free!

I participated in the last one, and it was an awesome event, albeit dominated by 228 guys. I'm gonna try to rally up (MS) so that there will be more variety.

Casters did an awesome job.

I think the Warhawk-C(C) duels on Steiner with no skills is the way to go, personally, after my duels with Shiroi. Balanced matchup, the map is hot but not too terribly so, the build has good range mixes and can skirmish up close, and it's crammed with enough DHS for backing off into terrain to cool down to be viable-- it doesn't take a year to go from 80% back to 0% like it can on some other builds. It's maneuverable and fast and side peeks well enough-- and the warhawk will melt under improper twisting. It really puts you through your paces to keep it alive and from overheating.

Registering...as soon as I make sure wife did not make plans for that day.

Suggestion for next time: Maybe set some standard non-meta loadouts as the choices. Allow players to tweak armor/heat sinks/engine size. Would feel more tournament like than whoever gets off the first near instagib lazor meta alpha. Would love to go toe-to-toe with others in Dragons.

Events like this our great for the community. I hope this is a roaring success and continues to grow. Props to the organizers for the initiative to put forth the idea and putting in the work to make it happen.

You can play whatever you want as long as you and your opponent agree upon each other's choice. The trial Warhawk is just a backup, in case the pilots can't come to a tonnage agreement.

Definitely agree!

Neat.

Wait... doesn't the stadium require premium time?

Well, have fun folks.

Actually, if two spectators with premium time are slotted in, two people without premium time can play. Pain to organize but there's a way around it.

One thing I noticed last time was that there were lots of new players being matched up against top players in their first match where they got smashed (Hard)!. They were defeated so hard that most of them did not even stayed around for the T2-3-4 matches.

As a small suggestion, after the registration are closed, you can use the leaderboard data (as far as the past 2-3 seasons) to come up with your own rating for individual pilots. (W/L, K/D, and average match score).
Then You can make the first match a good experience for participants.


The casting was great. It was exciting!

I will not be playing (I iz potata pilot), but I think things like this are great, and I will try and tune in.

Thanks to the units/players putting on these types of events!

One person per team is required to have premium time. This (in addition to prize and participation reward distribution) is why we ask for your email in the registration. If you are participating, you will receive (1)24 hr Premium time code (via email) to use for the event. <3 We didn't forget about you.

Unlike last time, this tournament is split into FIVE sections- one for each Tier. Tier 5 pilots will only be competing against other Tier 5 pilots, T4 against T4, and so on. (All of this information is in the "rules" link above) <3
