Announcing… Class Wars League!

Surprise! Bet you did not expect another tournament so soon. This time, we are not aiming for multiple-year gaps.

Announcing Class Wars League, the next large-scale tournament hosted by Penguin Games. Similar to our previous team-based tournaments, it is a double-elimination bracket. Teams will consist of 6 members, matches will be 4v4, and life count per team will be 8. So, expect bloodshed and conquest as teams fight to be number one!

Starting today (14 October 2024), registrations are open until the 3rd of November, 2024. So, if you are already convinced and have a team ready, sign up!

Tournament Differences

For Class Wars League, these are the current changes for the tournament. Please note that if something changes, it will be announced.

  • Entry Requirements: Players will need a minimum of 250 points earned in Class Wars to participate in Class Wars League.
  • Game Balancing: All class/map balancing for Class Wars will be halted one week before signups. This is to ensure that game balance matches the tournament until it ends. If any game-breaking issues arise, those will be addressed and handled.
  • Matches: Matches will be best of five.
  • Team Structure: Teams will consist of 6 members (4 playing and 2 reserves). Matches will be 4v4 and life count per team is 8.
  • Class Limits: For each team, every player has a unique class.
  • Disabled Classes: Some classes will be disabled from use. The following banned classes are:

  • Class Bans: Per match, each team can ban their opponent from using 2 specific classes per match – this is universal for both teams. However, the same classes cannot be banned by teams continuously.

Call for Streamers/Commentators

To make this tournament run as best as possible, we are looking for some additional help with streaming and commentating! In our previous tournament (CtGL2), our performance was not the best it could be, so we are really looking for some extra hands in commentating. We hope the best of the best from Class Wars can especially give their insights!

If you are interested, please join the Penguin Games Discord server and shoot a message to our Mod Mail bot!

We are very excited to be hosting yet another large-scale tournament! Although the organization and communication from our previous one was a bit of a doozy, we are committed to bringing a much better experience, and with that, a more fun tournament.

We’ll be eyeing everywhere for feedback and seek to improve areas that are vague/confusing/etc. If you have a suggestion, you are always free to suggest.

Look forward to the tournament! We sure cannot wait.
