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.

Neat. Ok, I'll come be first round fodder.

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. (All of this information is in the "rules" link above) <3

Crap. Stupid upward swinging PSR, I'm a Tier 4 pilot and you know it, soulless algorithm!

I guess it would be poor sportsmanship if I tried tanking that bar, wouldn't it?

Oh well.

I'm down. Never heard of Discord before but I'll sign up ;-)

See you then!

Just a note, I think it would be neat if the winners of every bracket fought each other as well. No MC for it, of course, but just a nice little end of it, to see who is the real champ.

In the mean time, I guess it's time to start building 1v1 mechs. I have an idea for the 30 ton bracket...

I'd do a stock urbie duel. They're cheap!

Too bad we're not in the same bracket. I have a sneaking suspicion I'm not going to get anyone to agree to 30 tons during the actual contest. It's not a popular tonnage.

Well... I guess Arctic Cheetahs are popular. That would be kind of fun.

Might get in on the action myself.

I meant Arctic Cheetah vs The Mighty Urbie.

Though, in such a fight, I wonder if the UM-R63 may be more advantageous. Trade the big boom for weight of fire.

You don't have to play the same exact tonnage. You both just have to be ok with each other's tonnage.

Oh, that's good. I was just about to send you a message asking you to torch my application. I forgot how limited my available tonnage is. But if we can do whatever, I'm ok.

I'd go more into it, but I've already let my Urbie plan get out. Don't need everyone in my bracket knowing all my tricks and limits.

Yeah, but I'm certainly not going to agree to playing a 50 tonner against an 85 tonner.

Scorch dual LB20x + 4 srm4+A vs brawler centurion did not last very long in my experience.

Ye know, I almost want to try despite being the only T3 waste of human existence that would even theoretically want to compete. Problem is that I am severely rusty in my MWO right now, mang...well, that and having literally no one to compete against. Blagh.

Still kind of a cool idea, and I do approve of the different skill brackets at least trying to give everyone a chance to play. Hope it goes well, even if it's on Twitch and thus automatically qualifies as a war crime.

That's why you break the mold and bring a LRM30A Trebuchet with TAG and a 260XL.

Keep in mind there will still be prizes as long as at least 2 people from your Tier show up. AND you will still be entered into the giveaway raffle for the Bushwacker Standard Pack in addition to all the quirky in-game challenges. The top of Tier prize will just be reduced to 500MC if there are less than 10 participants in that Tier.

Trebuchet? No, no, you're doing it wrong. Clearly you meant Huntsman, right?

Not everyone's shelled out cash for the Huntsman re-enforcement package, Mr. Moneybags.

Neither have I...but it'll be out there for C-bills before the tournament hits, if only just before the tournament hits. Plenty of time to get you some Mad Doge spam at 50t and teach dem Scorches who's boss. ...provided you don't bid up to 55t and do it in a Stormcrow, anyways.
