What is Team Deathmatch Showdown?
Team Deathmatch Showdown is a variation of Battlechess. 2 teams with 5 players each fight each other. Both teams decide on which player to send out to fight. Then those selected players will fight each other in a 1v1 duel. We'll use Duel Box as our map, no FFA and only 1v1 duels, one player per team at a time. Each player only fights once per team matchup. A team wins if it scores 3 wins. For more detailed information have a look at the Rules-Thread. Subject to change!
A cape for the first place's team. Everyone in team will get a cape and get a game from the prize pool.
How do I check in? Join the group chat 2 hours before the tournament begins. Just one member has to check in, and if need be, inform of any team changes / subs. Any team who did not check in 10 minutes before the actual tournament started is disqualified and removed from the brackets.
I don't live in Europe. Can I still participate? Of course, everyone can enter this tournament, as long as they find a team. There might be different servers for US and AUS, but that has yet to be decided.
Can I donate for prizes? If you would like to donate something as a prize for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd place winners of the tournament please leave a message in the Help and Donation-Thread along with what you'll be donating. And much obliged! ♥
Can I help with organizing, commentating, streaming, etc? Of course! We still need people to get this to work, if you feel like helping don't hesitate and post in the Help and Donation-Thread along with what you wanna do. Thanks for your help! ☻

Patch 3971
Fixed client stats - Notes, items and stats all working again.
Server operators will need to update their servers, sorry for the inconvenience
Sorry for the delay, had a few issues getting everything back working again.
I know this is probably not a very interesting patch. I didn't want to make players wait any longer than they had to. I hope to work on a content and balance patch for around end of February (please don't quote me on that).
I'll post some more news of upcoming events and other bits n pieces soon.
Thanks

As previously announced a new community run tournament is happening in just over a month, on the 20th February.
The format for the tournament will be Team Deathmatch. Full details for the tournament are as follows:
How to play
Teams will be made up of 5 players each.
Each team starts with 10 points. Teams lose 1 point for every player that is killed.
There will be no respawns until the final fight, once you're dead, you're out.
The finals will be a 5v5v5, with the possibility for even more depending on the amount of participants.
The tournament will be following a custom bracket.
The seeds are to be randomly generated by using the following website - https://www.random.org/.
The tournament will take place in a circle shaped arena. The starting positions for each of the players will look like the following:
The arena for 5v5 - http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=599865466
