Hi!
I'm happy to invite you to another JK2 event – this time a Clan Arena Draft Tournament. Event is open for everyone from beginners to top players and will take place on Sunday 18.06.2017, 7PM CEST / 5PM UTC. We will be playing on Extreme ~ Clan Arena servers located in Frankfurt, Germany (35.157.76.97:28070 and 35.157.76.97:28071) so check them out and autodownload the clientside before Sunday.
What is Clan Arena?
It's a new gametype introduced in SaberMod 2.0. Very similar to TFFA, however dead players don't respawn but wait on spectator until one team is eliminated and a round is over instead. Game continues until one team hits a round limit. I believe it is better suited for mixed teams and fun events than classic TFFA because weaker players don't drag the team down by "feeding" frags and dead players can chat on spec until a round is over.
What is a draft tournament?
A draft tournament is similar to a Pick Up Game. A number of captains (usually best players) pick their teammates from a pool of participants. Such teams battle it out in one of regular tournament formats. This leads to even teams and captains sharing their knowledge and excitement with less experienced player to lead their team to the victory.
Why should I come?
If you're an active JK2 player or would like to start playing again, please don't forget, reserve your time and make sure you're there. This really matters. The NF scene struggles with low activity right now and in order to have new events and pickup games it needs a critical mass of players. If we have enough attendance on Sunday I'm sure this will lead to new events and more activity next weeks. Otherwise people who are trying to organise the community may wait until fall when there are traditionally more players.
This isn't an event only for hardcore TFFA players. The draft format was chosen so that players on all levels can play alongside, help their team and compete.
If you would like to ask some questions meet up with players, play regular TFFA pugs or use comms, join our 1.04 NF discord server: https://discord.gg/9ptNfpK
