Metal League X is coming with a new look: Understand what has changed.
Hello Metal Gladiators!
Metal League X is coming soon, completely renovated!
The Metal League is the Official Tournament of the highest competitive level of Heavy Metal Machines. Starting this season, with a cash prize pool, it will take place outside the game, twice a year, alternating between the South American and European servers. This edition will be on the South American server.
👉 The Metal League is an official HMM Tournament 👉 The tournament is semiannual and online. Participate from anywhere! – New! 👉 Total prize money of 2,500 Euros 👉 8 teams form the Elite of the championship – New! 👉 Cash prizes for ALL Elite Teams – New! 👉 Free registration 👉 Players of any level can participate 👉 The event is 100% broadcasted, with wide announcement of the matches – New! 👉 Teams with up to 6 members – New!
How will it work?
Starting this Season, the Metal League will take place every six months. The top eight Teams on the server will play Bo2 clashes in the all-against-all format to generate a leaderboard. The top four Teams move on to the Playoffs and fight it out for the Grand Champion of the Season title.
The bottom two Teams in this ranking need to compete in a Promotion / Relegation Tournament with the other ranked Teams (coming from parallel qualifying championships, which take place during the off-season).
For this reason, whenever there is a Metal League Season, we will also have qualifying championships for the other Teams that wish to participate in the competition next semester.
METAL LEAGUE X – SOUTH AMERICA
Metal League Seasons will alternate between servers from now on. Therefore, we will start this next Tournament on the South American server, and the European edition will be for next year, while it is off-season in SA.
The Metal League will be formed by an elite of 8 Teams. For this first Tournament (South America), we will define the eight classified as follows: 2 vacancies – SPL 2020.1 Finalists 6 places – Best placed in the qualifying Tournament
All teams can participate in the qualifying Tournament, regardless of game level or Team experience. And the Team’s squad can count on up to 6 players.
When?
Qualifying Tournament registration end date: 07/10/2020 - UPDATED Metal League X qualifying Tournament date: 10/10/2020 - UPDATED Metal League X start date: 17/10/2020 - UPDATED Metal League X Final Date: 12/12/2020 - UPDATED
After we have defined the 8 participating teams, we will have an exclusive environment with them to organize the matches.
And how about Tournaments in the game?
If you haven’t seen it yet, we just announced the launch of the Colosseum, a new in-game Tournament format, to replace the old Metal League in-game. It will be a Tournament every Sunday, with Beginner and Veteran divisions, with game items as prizes, and will take place simultaneously on the two servers: Europe and South America. It is worth checking out, click here to learn more.
Any questions?
Send an email to community@hoplon.com or talk to us through Discord or our Social Networks, and we'll answer you right away!
The Colosseum is where the Metal City Gladiators battle for prestige and supremacy! An online tournament that takes place within the game every Sunday.

Join in! All matches are worth double the Fame, so you can buy that Model or Machine that is missing from your account.
Beginner’s Colosseum Rewards: – 1st Place: 1.500 Fame per player – 2nd Place: 1.250 Fame per player – 3rd Place: 1.000 Fame per player
Veteran’s Colosseum Rewards: – 1st Place: Prestige Badge + 1.500 Fame per player – 2nd Place: 1.250 Fame per player – 3rd Place: 1.000 Fame per player
Prestige Badge: The Team players who achieve 1st place in the Veteran’s Colosseum will receive a prestige point in their Badge.
Every edition your Team wins in the Veteran’s Colosseum will be awarded 1 prestige point, and every 5 points earned, the Badge evolves into the next level. So keep playing and winning the Veteran division to collect points and make your Badge unique!
Your Badge and prestige points are permanent and individual. Therefore, you can change your Team with each edition of the Colosseum. Also, they don’t depend on the Ranked Mode level or Metal Pass Seasons.
Tournaments Schedule: The Tournaments take place every Sunday, lasting 3 hours.
EU – 1 pm to 4 pm (GMT-0) SA – 4 pm to 7 pm (GMT-0)
Each weekend we’ll have an event completely separate from the other. In other words: everything is resolved on the same day. You assemble a Team, play, discover your final placement, and the prize pool will go straight to your account within 48 hours!
How are we going to separate who plays Beginner and Veteran?
On Sundays, during the period of the tournament, just enter the game and press “Play” in the Colosseum queue; the system will then analyze all Team members to decide whether the Team will participate in the Veteran or Beginner division.
To participate in the Veteran division, at least one player of the Team must have 500 total victories or more (not counting custom matches) in their account OR must be Gold division (2.000 points or more) in Ranked Mode. Teams that don’t match one of these requirements will be placed in the Beginner division.
The system will analyze the status of each member at the moment the Team captain officially clicks to participate in the tournament. If a Team member surpasses one of these criteria during the competition, the placement won’t change – what counts is the moment of registration. For this reason, changes in the Team (substitution, inclusion or removal of members) will not be allowed during the tournament. Teams can leave the tournament, create a new Team, and then register again if they choose – but this will result in that Team losing any points they’ve gained up to that point.
Check out all the Colosseum Rules.
Remember: registration is completely free, just click on “Play” in the Colosseum queue in South America and Europe servers (you can play on both servers if you want)!
Now that you know everything, assemble your team on our Teammates Finder (also known as Teamder), and start training!
See you in the Arenas!

Scheduled Maintenance and Patch Notes 12/08/2020
Hello, Metal Gladiators
Maintenance is scheduled for August 12th, from 12:00 to 16:00 (UTC+1), to apply an update that brings the 10th Season of the Metal Pass, the Mute Player System, the return of the improved Quick Chat, and more.
A new feature has been added to the game, allowing players to mute other players, in two ways: Voice chat and Social interactions.
Mute Voice Chat: When this option is activated, only the voice from the blocked player will be muted.
Mute Social interactions: When this option is activated, Chat messages, Quick Chat, Emotes and Sprays from the blocked player will no longer appear in the game.
All these options can be used at any time during a match, or in the game’s menus.
Quick Chat
The Quick Chat has returned to the game, with improved messages, allowing players to communicate in an easy and speedy way.
Press the ALT key (or D-pad’s right button in your gamepad) to activate the chat wheel, move the mouse (or Right Stick in your gamepad) over the desired message, and release ALT to send the message to your Team. As a reminder, only your Team can see the Quick Chat messages - use it in your advantage to win matches!
Arenas Lighting Improvements
All Arenas’ lighting has been improved, giving them a clearer environment (visually).
Chat’s Bad Words Filter
The list of banned words is now active while chatting in the custom match lobby, and during a match. Banned words will be replaced by asterisks.
Narrator Improvements
Several improvements were made to the Narrator, applying better ambience effects to the voices, reducing some long lines, and removing unnecessary lines that may be confusing to some players.
New Voice Chat Platform
The native game Voice Chat platform has been changed to Vivox. This platform greatly improves the quality of voice in the game, without changing any of the current commands.
Custom Match Codes
The copy and paste process for players using Gamepad was improved. Now it’s possible to copy the code from the Chat and paste in the Custom Match menu by pressing the assigned button.
Welcome Screen
When the game starts, the first screen that appears is the welcome screen. Press any button to continue to the main menu.
Champions’ Banners
The Champions’ Totems in the Arenas were updated, and this time there are three banners from the following champion Teams:
RMS
ROLL
NEON
Performance Improvements
Several performance improvements were added to the game, especially for computers with lower specifications.
Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug in the Ranking section of the Metal League menu in which the “See Finals Details” was not appearing.
Fixed a bug with Vulture’s soundtrack at the match’s ending screen.
Fixed a bug that caused the selection box to disappear in the Emote section on the Inventory, when equipping/unequipping an item.
Fixed a bug with the time format in the Metal League menu. Now, all times are displayed in 24h format.
Fixed a bug that caused the match time to appear negative in the Spectator menu.
