Sorry, I've been busy elsewhere. Round two and three have been dropped, the final pool will be dropped this Saturday!

Current state of signups:

u1100: 3/16
u1700: 11/16
1700+: 2/16

Thanks for the quick response, gods.

I was 99% expecting this to be the outcome. It was worth asking anyways

dear mod gods,

is it somehow possible to take over an account name of folks who didn't sign up in ages?

this guy has played 7 games total, last played in 2020 and three games total since 2017.

thanks in advance for your response.

Thanks. It's been a bit sad that only five teams showed up in the end. There's been roughly 20 people who had signed up at one point or another. It should've been a full grid!

I mean, if you don't want to disclose your nationality, just use a VPN. FAF has a 500ms delay anyways.

Have you tried using different ICE servers? You can set them in the options.

hf everyone!

@Nuggets Yeah, it ended up being called AI vs. AI and was hosted by Maudlin.

First map pool wave has dropped on Saturday, in case someone has missed it. Next round is gonna be dropped next Saturday!

message me on discord (_wlsn) and i'll send you one that works.

Hey @HerbertFreir,

I've randomly come across this post.

It's a common thing in pretty much every online game that people will flame each other. All it is is a coping mechanism so they must not admit they made a mistake themselves. It's really just the easy way out for being anonymous on the internet. There is no way of saying this is common or uncommon across a community as a whole as it's mostly invididual. Estimating how often it will happen to you is nearly impossible. Sometimes you will be flamed three times a day, sometimes it won't happen for two years straight. But there is a tendency: The bigger and the younger (on average) the community the more likely it is that people will flame, as they don't expect to bump into the other one ever again. FAF is a small, "well aged" community, and therefore less likely to be that way, as you for sure will bump into someone again.

What usually helps is narrowing down the amount of anonymity to a minimum by playing with people you know through joining smaller clans / communities.

I, for instance, happen to run a beginners group within the FAF Dojo. It's me and my co-trainer running training sessions with up to a dozen trainees (0-1300 rated) three times a week, in the EU evening hours. Our youngest trainee is ~20 years old, our oldest is ~60 years old. We have gay / trans people, furries... We welcome everyone and respect each other. It's about having fun and learning together.

If the above is appealing to you and you could make (some of) the training hours, feel free to join our Discord server and reach out to me. If you can not make my specific training hours, please still feel free to join, meet people you could play with, and maybe find another trainer that matches your time zone.

Thanks for putting in the work, mate!

About this tournament series

The ultimate fist fight?

Think you’ve got fast hands and top-tier micro? It’s time to enter the ring and prove it! Welcome to the most elemental duel you will find on FAF. It's going to be a high-stakes, fast-paced tournament packed into a single day.

What's the challenge?

On a 5x5 grid, there is zero room to breathe, no time to sit back and macro, and absolutely no mercy. The maps are tiny, the action starts immediately, and every single misstep or misclick will cost you dearly. One bad move, and your ACU is toast. One lost series, and you're eliminated - it will always be on your mind!

Whether you’re a micro god or just looking for some intense, heart-pounding 1v1 matches, this single-day sprint will test your reflexes and tactical execution to the absolute limit.

Are you ready to enter the ring?

Bring your best builds, sharpen your micro, and don't blink. Do you have what it takes to survive the combos your opponent will be throwing at you and come out on top?

Sign up now, lock in, and let’s see who reigns supreme!

This event is a joint effort between the official tournament team and the FAF Dojo, the place to be for voice-based coaching.

6 / 8 teams have already signed up. You better be quick!

7 / 8 Teams.

As this is our first time using the new website, we would like to clarify that you can still sign up even after eight teams have formed. If you do, you will be added to the waiting list. If a team fails to check in on Saturday, you will have a chance to take their place. Please make sure you check in on time, even while on the waiting list. Spots are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. There's only one team spot remaining—sign up now to guarantee your entry!

6 / 8 Teams.

There's some 1.1K - 1.2K free agents available to team up with. So anyone around 1k or below would be fine to team up with them. If that applies to you, feel free to join. Of course, if you have a friend you could still team up with them and sign up together.

Five teams now.

Four teams have signed up already, and there's a BUNCH of free agents available. Better be quick to reach out to one of them, or to find a friend and sign up as a team!

personally, i don't get the strech goal order given the fact shattering and freezing allegedly being the usp of the game, and now it's just a "maybe".
