Hello All,
This post will be all about our Monster Madness tournament happening on Halloween night. This will be HGL's first tournament where the NA and EU regions are split so latency shouldn't be a problem.

GAME MODE
The game mode that will be played is Arena. What is Arena? Arena is a game mode in Evolve that is only available in Customs. Arena pits a Team of Hunters against a Stage 2 Monster in a BO3 or BO5 series. The monster and Hunters are stuck in a dome in different locations each match. The Monster wins by killing (downing) all 4 Hunters, and the Hunters can win by surviving the amount of time the dome is up, or by killing the monster.

So why Arena you ask? We at HGL picked arena because we wanted to go a different route with these tournaments. After playing Arena ourselves we discovered that it was action packed, quick, and fun to play. That is what we are shooting for, for this tournament we want it to be a little less competitive and more of a fun community event.

Rules

3.1 Lobby Creation
3.1.1 Lobby host
The Highest seeded team will be the Monster and setup the game lobby for the first Arena matches.
The Lowest seeded team will be the Monster and setup the game lobby for the last Arena matches.

Latency Issues

If ping does not exceed 250 for 2 or more hunters the game will continue. After 3 minutes if the ping of 2 or more Hunters still exceeds 250, they will be offered a neutral host once. After the second evolve or at the 5 minute mark the neutral host offer is no longer valid. If any Hunters ping exceeds 500 consistently the match will be restarted with a neutral host. First neutral host qualification is optional. Second is compulsory.
