@everyone @here @TLMS We at the Multiplayer Doom Federation have something exciting to unveil! As many of us know, QuakeCon is right around the corner, and there is an Odamex-powered Doom II: Hell on Earth event being run as part of this annual event!
Last Marine Standing is a 2 hour event that will be featuring NINE TEAMS as they square up in a 2v2v2 format match across 5 maps! That is not a keyboard malfunction, you read that right. In each of the matches, there will be three teams (Red, Blue and Green) of two players each! Here's a more detailed breakdown of the rules:
• Out of the nine teams that are in the bracket, each of the three sets of three teams will meet in a 5-map round prior to the finals, where the final match consists of the winners of these previous three rounds.
• Each match consists of 5 maps (URITEDM MAP09, GREENWAR MAP02, VEX-DOOM MAP02, UDM2 MAP04, CHILL3 MAP04), where the last marines standing in each map will gain one point. At the end of the fifth map, the team with the most victories will advance to the final match, or in the case of the final match, they will be declared the winners of the event!
• The terms of each match are as follows: 5 minute timelimit with 5 lives per player. If the timelimit expires and there are multiple teams remaining, the tiebreak is how many lives are left in each team's pool. If there is an tie in the amount of lives left, there will be a draw!
• We will try our best to avoid outright draws. If the engine does determine a draw due to even lives left, we will manually break ties in a method that goes: Number of players left -> Frags on the scoreboard -> Coin flip. The team coming out on top will be awarded the point for the map.
• Settings are mostly "Newschool", allowing jumping and freelook, and per UAC OSHA regulations, I am legally obligated to notify you that FRIENDLY FIRE IS ENABLED!! So watch your fire, marines!
Last but not least, this event will be taking place 🔴LIVE on the QuakeCon Community Stream, hosted by Xenaero and KBlair of the World Doom League! This event and its corresponding livestream coverage will take place on August 21st, 11AM to 1PM EST! If you sign up for a team, be sure to be available for this two hour block!
