LATEST EVENT UPDATE [August 13th]
As a result of ongoing Oceanic server instability, the Oceanic Takeover Event has been put on-hold until after the August 18th patch.
While the recent server adjustments have made some progress toward reducing the frequency of issues, persistent disconnects and connection instabilities are still occurring. We will be rolling out some code changes on August 18th that we hope will resolve the remaining issues.
The event is no longer running as of this post, but the Oceanic servers will remain open.
The event will resume on August 18th after the patch has rolled out, and will then run until August 23rd at 10:00 AM PDT (5:00 PM UTC).

EVENT UPDATE!
The Oceanic Takeover event has been extended until August 18th at 10:00AM PDT / 5:00PM UTC!
If you've been playing on the new Oceanic regional servers since their release on August 4th you've likely encountered a persistence of connection stability issues, often resulting in disconnections back to the MechLab and an inability to rejoin the match. These issues have been occurring despite maintaining a healthy ping to the Oceanic servers.
The engineers have made progress toward reducing frequency of those issues since the weekend, but they are still in the process of investigating and resolving the remaining problems. Connections to the Oceanic servers are more stable now than they were over the weekend, and we hope to have the remaining issues resolved soon.
Until then, you'll now have another week to rack up some Oceanic Takeover event points!
EVENT INFO
To commemorate the activation of the Oceanic servers we're extending the Takeover Challenge with new Oceanic Regional Game Mode Prize Brackets! Running standard queue matches on the Oceanic servers before the new end time will give you the opportunity to earn more Premium Time, C-Bill Consumable Packs, Warhorns, and C-Bills, with a chance to earn an Oceanic-region Standing Cockpit Flag if you reach the final point tier in one of the three Oceanic brackets!
Please note that this is considered an extension of the recent European Takeover Challenge! Any reward tiers that you qualified for during the European Takeover Challenge will carry over to this Oceanic Takeover extension. In other words, you cannot re-earn any rewards that you already earned during the European Takeover Challenge. However, this does allow you to pick up your progress where you left off and earn any remaining reward tiers that you did not acquire during the European Challenge.
During this Personal Challenge Event all pilots will have the opportunity to earn Event Points and Rewards for each standard queue Game Mode on the North American, European, and Oceanic servers.
Head over to the Tournament page for all the details!
