Greetings Mechwarriors!

This weekend, MWO Comp will be running a Master's Challenge: Reborn event! Players will be randomly drawn randomly from twitch chat to 1v1 or 2v2 a master player in a weight class of the challenger's choosing. If the challenger wins, they can choose any mech in the game as their prize(excluding Gold, Sarah, Founders, and Phoenix mechs). For the 2v2 section, players must come with their partner ready.

The events will be taking place on https://www.twitch.tv/mwoleagues and will have three different cycles to ensure it is accessible to all regions! Each cycle will run 2 hours.

• EU Cycle: March 1st at 11AM PST / 7PM UTC
• NA Cycle: March 1st at 6PM PST / 2AM UTC March 2nd
• OCE Cycle: March 2nd at 4AM PST / 12PM UTC

For any questions or comments, please join the MWO Comp discord to ask or discuss with the staff! https://discord.gg/6wxM5hC

Now that's what I call marketing! Hats off to MWO!!

I wants my Leopard Dropship mech, and my VIP Atlas mech!

But seriously, a Gold Dire Wolf or a Gold Timber Wolf would be lovely!
(And how about making the Gold camo a chassis-wide unlock?)

Given the age of the average MWO player, Twitch still is the best platform for such an event

What is a Phoenix mech? I know what the other 3 refer to, but this is the first I have heard of "Phoenix mechs" before.

One of the first mechpacks. They are noted with the same (P) as platinum mechs which is confusing.

Its a long time ago but iirc the mechs were Locust, Shadohawk, Thunderbolt and Battlemaster as the main pack, Griffin and Wolverine as the bonus pack.

I think it was so early they simply have no way of giving them out anymore.

Edit. Seems the community voted for it to be exclusive so it might be the reason.

The idea is cool, of course, but it probably covers no more than a quarter of MWO players (or even less). And with a two-hour cycle duration, most of the planet is out of the question.

Will there be anything interesting for the general public?
