The Brawl News - June 2018

CTF Map Wave XIV Trailer Released
With the help of one of the newest additions to the media team, @gewkawdah, the newest CTF Map wave trailer has been released showcasing all of the brand new maps that will be available to play on 7/7/18! We would like to thank the entirety of the CTF community for their incredible help whether it be voting, testing, or building - this would not have been possible without you! Hop onto mcctf.com to try out the new maps and check out the trailer on our YouTube channel here.

Aliens have invaded Wild West
While exploring the wild west one would never expect to see an advanced alien spaceship floating overhead while fighting off a gang of bandits. However, with recent sightings all across the map we can't help but wonder what these aliens have in store for us in the future... Read more about these extraterrestrial beings here.

Spring Cleanup and Summer Plans
To better improve communication and transparency within our community we have released a thread illustrating our current plans for the summer and what we hope to accomplish to continue improving Brawl as a whole. Check out the full thread here.

Brawl Summer Sale
We held an up to 50% off summer sale which allowed players to give us wisely spend their money on cheap boosters, lifetime ranks, and more!

Raid Reset
Thanks to our incredibly cooperative community and hardworking staff we were able to succesfully launch a fresh new map on Raid. This map is the fourth map on our Raid server. The new map includes a lot of new custom features, a custom built end created by @Lekosa1, and most importantly it allows new and old players to come together and try to dominate within this new map. Check out the full reset thread here.



Battle Royale Closed
Unfortunately due to the gamemode's general unpopularity we have decided to remove the gamemode and we hope to utilize our efforts into further improving our other current servers. We hope to use the gamemode in the future for possible events or contests.

Hardore Games Temporarily Closed
Staff are currently hard at work at revamping this gamemode and improving it to suit the modern genre of MC players. We hope this appeals not only to a new generation of players but also to the older players. Stay tuned for an announcement coming soon.
