Due to a lack of players for the Sunday's tournaments, they will be replaced by Endless Battles. The time (9 PM CET) and the way to participate (writing me a GFWL message, account: disastR) stay the same.

The Weekly Thursday's tournaments will stay as they are though. This also includes Endless Battles after the tournament.

From now on, I will host Endless Battles after each tournament (every Thursday and Sunday). This way, you can experiment, train and get advice a lot more without being under the pressure of a tournament.

Every participant of the tournament will be invited automatically, but there is of course no obligation to join. You can also join the Endless Battles without playing the tournament. Just send me a GFWL message (Account: rkBass) containing "endless" sometime after the tournament has started (-> after 9 P.M. CET).

The lobby will be open for everyone, so there is also a chance to join by just searching for Endless Battles (as there are usually very few lobbies).

Hope to see you there!

From now on, there will be two weekly tournaments for group members: one on THURSDAYS and one on SUNDAYS. Both will take place at 9 PM CET (Central European Time). The first tournament is tomorrow, July 21!
Everyone that wants to participate shall send me a GFWL message (GFWL account: rkBass) with the content "tournament" at 9 PM and will then be invited. First come, first served, but not earlier than 9 PM!
If there are more than 8 players (max tournament size) wanting to participate, or if there are people wanting to play more than one tournament (send "tournament" again), multiple tournaments will be held.
Please note that we cannot accept players with bad pings or computers slowing down the game. If we have bad pings to America and there is high demand by our American members, Drakendodertje will assign tournament admin rights to an American member. To enable us to evaluate that, please take part in the European tournaments first.

All the information here is subject to change, based on how well this works.

I hope to see many of you participate. Don't be shy - this is the beginners' group!

In this announcement i will collect all current and upcoming links members post that have helped them, and perhaps you, to become a better fighter:

A good starting place for beginners like us.
I recommend watching this if you're just starting.
It explains the basic's and more advanced stuff that you will need.
Give it a shot and use your steam overlay to watch it while being in training mode to try it out.
