News
I think we should have waited for Thuriam's low-poly remake before having the tournament; there will probably be lots of complaints about the low fps and people getting clipped on brushes.
The item changes on ..._test don't really fill me with enthusiasm for the map. I would have been more intrigued by a simple swap of the low ga for another ya. This whole 'more mega, more ya, more lg, no ra' makes me sceptical on such a small map where it's so easy to spawnfrag, and so hard to escape and hide; maybe it could have worked on shifter, but on toxicity I have my doubts. I'll keep an open mind on it long enough to get through the tournament.
Personally I'd prefer a single elimination, to make the tournament take less time. Happy with both 1 or 2 divisions.
