The Brawl News - December 2018

​

CTF Testing and Update Proposals
We're also testing some large changes to CTF, aimed to make it significantly harder to hold the flag during stalemates and to change chemist around a bit. We're also looking to write down all the unwritten rules we previously had. Check out the thread for more info: https://www.brawl.com/threads/74121/

Earlier on in the month, we also tested some ninja changes. We've also announced new proposals for Medic and Engineer, a new class called Swapper, and a Christmas map update. See here for more info: https://www.brawl.com/threads/74073/

Winter Update
We released a Winter Update live throughout December, including a new CTF map rotation and an updated lobby. See more here: https://www.brawl.com/threads/73973/

KitPvP Sumo Tournament
Thanks to @MoistEggnog, we hosted a Sumo tournament for KitPvP. The event has already happened, so here's a thread summarising it: https://www.brawl.com/threads/74090/

We will be hosting more events in the future, so if you want to win some prizes from the store, keep a look out.

War Map Changes
For Christmas, we've added a new Christmas themed map rotation for War. See here for more info: https://www.brawl.com/threads/74085/

WarZ Testing
We're currently testing some new updates on WarZ, including letting people teleport if they don't have a rank, map changes, and gun changes. More info here: https://www.brawl.com/threads/74114/

Featured Brawler
This month's Featured Brawler is someone who has been well known in the community for years. He created CMS, a group of players who record and stream most CTF matches. He also created the PPM discord, where CTF players get together and play semi-competitive games on the match server. To top it all off, he was one of the people who found all the presents in the lobby. This month's Featured Brawler is @hamzacx!

Trivia Question
Last month's question was: how many snow blocks are there in the new Christmas lobby?
The answer is 96957. @hayns got the closest answer... but his answer was 7. Since the answer was a bit off, he will not be receiving the forum trophy.

This month's question is: how many people have completed both lobby parkour in total?
The answer will be revealed along with the winner in the next edition of The Brawl News.

Group Advertisement
This is a new CTF team made not to be really competitive and tryhardy, but to just mess around and have fun. And, it's named after cake! This month's Group Advertisement is Cake Squad. See more here: https://www.brawl.com/threads/73959/

An oldie but a goodie

There's not really enough submissions anymore, it's always less than 2 submissions now.
