[US PC Only] - Iconic and Movement power duel tournament!

    Since my last tourny was a big success, I have decided to host another. Yes, I am aware that breakouts are wonky at the moment, but this is for fun and for the sake of creating a new US PC PvP hangout area. This hangout area will be in a vacant league hall owned by one of my alts, it is fully decorated. Both factions will be allowed in and there will be a safezone for those who wish to duel uninterrupted or just chat. I believe this is a great idea because there is a mutual spawn in the league hall, instead of a villain controlled hangout, and league halls are easily accessible with no player cap. What better way to promote a new hangout spot than to have a duel tournament? Exactly. If you would like access to the league hall, please write your ingame name here or send Mr Cutie an ingame e-mail.

    People have voted on iconic powers only, so that is the final decision I have made, giving everyone a fair chance. Last tourny, a few people complained about the use of hardlight and gadgets EMP, there will be no power-based complaints this time around. Everyone will have a chance to use the same powers.

    Very nice man.

    But I am curious as it is so restrictive why don't you just make it a Weapon Only type dueling tournament?

    P.S: Not complaining simply discussing is all :).

    Last time I checked you can't allow league hall access cross-faction. Unless something has changed recently...

    You need alternative rewards. How would you reward people with 1,5-2k cash cap?

    You can...their last Dueling Tourney had many a villains in their League Hall.

    This is actually a kinda good point. I mean they could just let that person go on a spending spree in the broker, buy them components or something to help with repair costs, R&D plans/parts etc.

    Nice! will have to invade my villain hall with our league's hero broker league :p

    Funny because people we are aware of CC issues usually abuse HB > Sonic Shout [The AoE one]. Seen one player spam this like no tomorrow and due to the amount of CC it outputs it leaves the enemy vulnerable for a couple seconds allowing another attack to be used right after.

    Excellent Contest idea nonetheless, just be wary as the last person who won abused Chainsaw :p. It is rather hard to create a "fair" contest with so much power imbalances and CC issues.

    I was initially going to make it weapon only, but around 5 people convinced me that it should be weapon + iconics, so I figured why not, it's usable for everyone. Should be fair enough :)



    For as long as I could remember (since league halls have been implemented) cross-faction accessibility was always do-able.


    If that happens to the case, I will speak to those premium/free winners about their prizes privately. Good point though.



    I actually meant to restrict sony cry. I've seen it abused as well. Thanks for reminding me.

    Ok my mistake, it didn't work for me when I tried early on in the hall ownership days. Must have been something I was doing wrong.

    Tourny sounds like a good time

    Sonic cry abused? Come on! :(

    EDIT: I'm kidding of course. If it's abused by all means ban it. I'll figure something out.

    Here are rounds 1 and 2 of the past tournament for those of you who want a visual on what goes on in these tournaments.
    This is ONLY round 1 and 2. I did not upload the rounds after 1 and 2 because it was over 6 hours of footage, I could not edit and upload all of those with my schedule. I may post the full 6 hour video though, if anyone is interested in watching that lol. The tourny went great and smooth, over 40 participants and over 60 people spectating overall.

    Who's that Grand Shaw dude getting his butt kicked? What a total noob. :p

    We had an 1v1 full Iconics tournament about 2.5 years ago on EUPS, everyone wore a full set of Bloodbat from the vendor so heros could join in as it was held in HoDs Pit, it was great.

    I was actually having fun with Woo Za, Serphent, and Scott Talon for a few hours training. That was very fun. Can't wait till Friday lol.

    This is a interesting idea but to many rules for my taste. For originality I give this post a 7.
