    Events
    This month’s event featured the return of MineStrike! We started the tournament with 40 teams and it all came down to the final match between TKP and SGA. It was an insanely close match between the two teams. However, SGA ended up taking the win. (Read More…)

    Survey
    We thank many of you for taking the McBrawl Survey. A whopping ~280 replies were submitted over the course of three days! The data will definately help us to improve McBrawl in the upcoming future.

    The results of the Firework Competition were released at the beginning of the month. Demonguy567 came in first place; onik2011 came in second place; and the team of Bassmaster6, Lord_Roke, and Sagest came in third place. All the winners won donator items on the McBrawl stores. (Read More…)

    Another creative competition was released recently. The theme for this contest is Roller Coasters. The creative managers will be judging the coaster designs by their fun factor, scenery, name, and overall design. (Read More…)

    MC-War Clan Reset
    You may or may not have noticed that there is going to be a complete reset of MC-War clans. This is scheduled to take place on 8/1/14 at 4:00pm CST. Be sure to post here if you wish to reserve your clan name and look here for further information about the reset.

    Alternative Accounts
    We have made a change to our policies regarding alternate accounts. Now, we will be also be looking to ban any known alternate accounts of a banned player, to ensure that the banned player can not access our servers during their ban.

    Video of the Month
    That's right, it's back! Video of the month is making a return and is now to be announced in each monthly issue of the Brawl News. We will be selecting videos from the Media > Videos section of the forums, so be sure to post your videos there for a chance to get your video selected!
    Video of the Month will begin in August's issue of the Brawl News

    Change Logs
    Monthly changelogs will also be released with the Brawl News. Nothing major will be in these changelogs, they will just run over anything minor that we may of added that month. You can check this month’s thread in the Developer Logs section here.

    Minecraft Murder
    Minecraft Murder has been officially released for beta testing! This has been under development for a while, and it's finally here! Minecraft Murder is a mini game based off the Garry's Mod game mode Murder. It should be out of beta and officially released within the next few weeks.

    I love the change to alternative accounts! I find it much more ethical, considering I don't find it fair to allow wealthy players to repeatedly break rules and not be "punished" for it. Great decision by staff!

    Why the heck did you not take any fall damage at 0:07? :confused:
