It has taken some time but the moment is finally here -
AoCZone is hosting its first tournament. After seeing many standard leagues and competitions, it is time for something new, unusual and exciting, and as you can guess from the title, it is not going to be easy, either.
Extreme Challenge is set on entirely
new random maps, which are not only far from the ordinary but are also very (or should I say "extremely") difficult. Some of them have been dug up from old map packs, fixed and edited, while others have been created from scratch. Ten of the best ones (based on players' approval) have then been selected for the tournament.
The Tournament will start with
Group Stage where each round will be played with a different map. To make things even more extreme, civilisations will be picked randomly (and then switched for the sake of fairness). The best teams will then advance to
Final Stage in which they will be given the opportunity to choose their own
EC Home Map (you can view the EC Maps
here)
The winners will receive
Voobly rating points -
45 for the winners,
35 for 2nd place and
25 for third place - and a banner acknowledging them of being highly versatile players. The sign-ups have just been opened and will stay open until
17th September or until all the 32 spots are filled. So, if you have the courage, rise to the challenge and test your skills in an unknown territory where you will need to devise new strategies, and most importantly, constantly improvise.
