An exciting new tournament will start this Memorial Day weekend in our free-to-play online robotic combat game Exteel.
We're kicking off the Unofficial Full Metal Mayhem Tournament finally, after carefully considering some options and listening to what a lot of the players had to say. This tournament is unofficial, meaning it doesn't have the backing of the developers or NCsoft as a whole in any way, and is merely being run by me for my own personal satisfaction. There are no prizes to speak of, except bragging rights.
The idea of the Unofficial FMM Tournament is this: teams of players will battle each other in a round-robin style format to determine the overall winner by accumulating Tournament Points (TPs). Each team battles one other team per round in three separate matches in the following battle modes: Capture the Flag, Team Deathmatch and Territory Control. Depending on the outcome of the match, the following TPs will be rewarded:
Win: 3 TPs
Draw: 1 TP
Loss: 0 TPs
There are two tournament draws, which will determine the size of the team at the start of the tournament. One draw will be composed of four-player teams (4v4). The other draw will have eight-player teams (8v8). So, yes, essentially there are two tournaments.
