Xonotic Winter Duel Cups

Hello everyone!

I have seen there is a lot of people in this community that contributes in different ways; Halogene's noob corner, Smilecythe's explanations in how the movement works, srkdy's community fragmovies, Antibody's duel commentaries etc.
Since I am new to this community as well as the game, I have enough with just playing and understanding the game mechanics. However, I still want to contribute to this awesome community.

I have thought about it for a while and I've made up my mind. I'm gonna start hosting tournaments/cups as often as possible. I know there will be a tournament called Reversion Cup in late January 2016 organized by thimoe so I will wait with the announcement for mid/late-January until I know the exact dates for that tournament so it don't collide. In the meantime, I will try to host a couple of tournaments in late December and early January if people are up for it. I will continue to host tournaments in the following months. It will only be in weekends since most of the players in this community have school/work commitments during weekdays.

Keep in mind that these tournaments is for any (low, mid & high skilled) players, so don't feel that you cannot sign up because you haven't dueled competitively before or if you are new to the game. It might be good practice for the upcoming Xonotic Duel League season.

@boomboom, can you join #sacras at quakenet as soon as possible?
Edit: nevermind, you joined :-)

I got approached by some of the participants in yesterdays cup regarding organizing a new tournament today (20.12.2015) and I will gladly do so for this awesome community. The cup-format will remain the same as yesterday's but if the list of participants should be sky-high (for some reason ) it will change to single elimination since it's Sunday today and people most likely will need their beauty-sleep for tomorrow's IRL commitments

Join #sacras guys!

Some news

• Warfare replaces Downer in the map pool

I like it tho. Only reason not to like it is crylink.

It sucks for me because its a terrible map to play with ping. It's hard enough to +back with the limited exits and the one big open spot on the map. Also no nex.

Yeah, that is understandable. On the good side, I hope megarmor and megahealth locations should tolerable for you with 100ms due to crylink/mortar/electro spam.(?)

About the no nex thingy. I want to have a map with no nex in the pool and since darkzone rarely got played in the last tournaments I hope warfare will have a better outcome.

Are you going to play in that cup btw?

News:

Next cup at: 30th/31st January

Count me in.
