PVP Tournament - The Arena

Hi All! For those of you who don’t know us, we are your hosts: Kogass, Biggs, and Prum. We are all avid PvPers and love to PvP in all its formats: duels, regs, and ranked. Kogass is a member of the BioWare Content Creator Program. You can find some of the past tournaments here -

, PSO2, and
- and Kogass’s content here. Both Kog and I are excited to announce the newest face to the tournament, Biggs. Biggs is content creator and pvp enthusiast. In his free time, Biggs loves to make helpful youtube videos. You can find Biggs’ content here. Biggs will be joining Kogass as a co-streamer, providing elite commentary during the tournament. We look forward to having another awesome tournament.

 

Now to the real stuff... What to expect in The Arena:

 

Double Elimination: We want to make this fair and even for everyone so that you can display the best of your skill. In order to do that, the tournament will be structured in a double elimination format. Double elimination is a special elimination process that allows each team 2 losses before they are completely eliminated from the tournament. After a team's first loss they are placed in a "Loser's Bracket", but don't worry that's just to mark who has lost one matchup. Teams in the loser's bracket can still go on and win the whole tournament. For more details you can view the self-explanatory brackets and signups sheet for yourself.

 

Rules: The rules have been carefully constructed to keep the tournament as fair as possible while also allowing for diversity of classes, specs, and strategies. The rules are as follows:

 

 

Team Composition Rules:

  • No class stacking. (2 of the same class)
  • No op/sorc, op/sin, or op/merc.
  • No healers or tanks.

 

Gear Rules:

  • Gear and tactical swapping during fights is prohibited. That means that gear, tactical, and even spec swapping is permitted between rounds subject to all other rules.
  • No lifewarden.

 

Fighting Rules:

  • Off healing is allowed. Offguarding is not allowed, however taunting is.
  • Operatives get 1 combat stealth per fight. Assassins can use combat stealth as many times as they’d like.
  • Saphealing (using an out of combat regen ability while the enemy is mezzed) is not allowed for either stealth classes. However, out of combat regenning is allowed as long as the enemy is not sapped.
  • No combat rez. Once you die, you die.
  • PvP medpacks/adrenals, stims, and grenades (of any type) are all allowed. But please don't use any of the other consumables like the Cold Weather Equipment. We don't need to go that tryhard. PvE consumables don't work in the PvP arena so don't bother trying.
  • No guild combat perks/buffs/set bonuses of any kind. If your guild has any combat buff please leave the guild before starting the tournament. We apologize for any inconvenience this can cause, but it is the only way to make sure none of the buffs go off during the tournament.

 

 

Rewards:

The prize pool now includes five 30 day subscriptions, 9,000 Cartel Coins, 5 BILLION CREDITS, over 100 different rare gold unique decorations, ultra rare hypercrates and packs, limited edition retired Tawn Faun pets... and much more.

 

Winners of course get rewards. But prizes will also be given to all participants and as giveaways to viewers on stream.

 

If anyone can help donate credits or any other valuable prizes, it is greatly appreciated! Everything helps because all credits come outa pocket, and everything goes to the winners. You can DM me personally for donations. Special thanks, recognition, and privileges are given to donors. Thanks in advance.

 

Signups and Brackets:

1 bracket.

10 teams.

A total of 20 players.

First come first serve.

We will have a waitlist.

We may increase the number of spots based on demand.

 

Players can sign up DMing me on discord, OperativeMain#2354, or responding to this thread (I check discord DM the most frequently). Please sign up with your character names, classes, and team name.

 

Ex: Team Prum, Thicc Prum and Real Prum, operative and jugg.

 

Team names should be in good taste. We reserve the right to deny any team names and/or team members.

 

Players can change their team comp, team name, and/or partners anytime up to 15 minutes before the tournament starts.

 

All teams are expected to show up 15 minutes before the tournament starts.

 

All teams must pay the 5mill entrance fee to save their spot in the tournament. Otherwise they will remain on the waitlist.

 

Any team that wishes to participate but does not get a spot will be put on the waitlist. For more information you can view the explanatory signups and brackets sheet for yourself, https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1EHA7mErG-sqSZr5UJWzVg67zOKx92BHCNrz1DrhQC8I/edit?usp=sharing.

 

Out of respect for the work put into hosting this tournament please do not troll, mess with, or disrupt the tournament in any way. Please do not restream or rebroadcast the stream without express consent from tournament hosts. Doing so will result in a stronghold kick. We are here for a good time. Please don’t ruin it for everyone that is looking to have fun.

 

The tournament will be streamed and commented on by Kogass and Biggs @https://www.twitch.tv/kogass_ with plenty of giveaways during the stream. Even if you aren't competing, come tune in!

 

Thanks! If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Just wanted to give an update on a rule change.

 

"Operatives, Mercs, and Sorcs cannot be on the same team" has been changed to "Operatives cannot be on the same team as a Mercs or a Sorc." This means that mercs and sorcs can now be on the same team.

 

Please remember these rules are a work in progress. If you see an unfair rule that you think should be changed please reach out to me. Looking forward to seeing you all there!

We are officially 1 week out!

 

Small update with the rules:

 

No guild combat perks/buffs/set bonuses of any kind. If your guild has any combat buff please leave the guild before starting the tournament. We apologize for any inconvenience this can cause, but it is the only way to make sure none of the buffs go off during the tournament.

 

If you'd like to sign up there are still spots available! We welcome all participants of all skill levels. Regardless of if you win or not, the tournament should be a lot of fun!

 

Even if you're not fighting, we'd love to see you on stream @ twtich.tv/kogass_. Come chat, watch, and just have a great time.
