Hello everyone,

 

it is a pleasure to announce that the official maps with which we will start off the first edition of the ESMâ„¢ | A-Series World League the next 21st of September are already ready to be downloaded by anyone in our download area.

 

I would like to tell you in advance that because of a lack of time we were not capable of debug and fix the code as well as we would have liked but each one works correctly anyways. Through the next weeks we will be announcing new and improved versions of the maps thanks to the scripting and editing teams of ArmaHosts (who are actually working on the next version that will bring us improved performance above anything else). All these modifications will only affect performance/stability but never the distribution of different elements like buildings, crates...
 
We would also appreciate it if you inform us about any gamebreaking bug that you may encounter through our forum Support & Bugs to fix it as soon as possible.
 
RULE - 2.6.5. Bug abusing is forbidden. Proving with visual evidence that a team s abusing game bugs, such as walking through walls, containers, be under a building, or doing any physically impossible activity, the team that is abusing those bugs will be regarded as loser. Should any scripting or editing problem arise, these have to be communicated immediately to the Organization so they can supervise it. If the problem is game breaking, the Organization will decide if the map should be swapped or the problem solved. If the map has to be swapped, only the complainant team and any team with a pending match will have to change the map.
 
In this first pack you will find a total of 12 locations predominating especially urban combat but as you will be able to see there is a bit of everything. 
 
 
ESM | CTF - OFFICIAL MAPS V1.0
  • ESM | CTF - Feres
  • ESM | CTF - Frini [M]
  • ESM | CTF - Girna [M]
  • ESM | CTF - Gravia
  • ESM | CTF - Ifestiona
  • ESM | CTF - Neochori
  • ESM | CTF - Sand River [M]
  • ESM | CTF - Shutter Island [M]
  • ESM | CTF - Storage
  • ESM | CTF - The Factory
  • ESM | CTF - The Hill [M]
  • ESM | CTF - Zaros
 
 
 
We started running an official ESMâ„¢ server located in the north of France. This machine will determine the ping of the players according to the rules 2.4.5.
 

RULE - 2.4.5. What happens when the server on which we are going to play does not have the official configuration of the ESMâ„¢?

  • The scores obtained on the rounds played on it will be valid.
  • If any one notice that the server is not configured as it should be before finishing one of the two rounds ten minutes will be given to solve this problem or the match will be moved to:

a. In the first place to the opponent's server.
b. If this one is on the same conditions then the match will be moved to the organization's official server.
c. If the organization's server is busy because of an official match the match will be postponed and it will have to be played during the following week as well as the one programed for that week, i.e., you will have to play the postponed match + the one corresponding to the next week.

 

NOTE - If a player has a ping of more than 150ms, it can be requested to move the match to one of the servers provided by the Organization. If it is still over 150 that player cannot play the match. The servers provided by the organization are the ones that will mark the maximum ping allowed to all the players. In the case of using the ESMâ„¢ server remember that it is preferable that the manager or captain of the local team takes the admin to set up the map and the difficulty of the mission.

Hello everyone, today we are going to show you our new free betting system with which you can earn awesome prizes! If you think that you are an expert of Arma 3 e-Sports and you want

to test your knowledge against other players then ... this is the perfect place!

 

 

When I will be able to start and how does it work?

 

Once the match schedule is announced the 15th of September we will publish as soon as possible every match so you can start with your first bets. Each participant will have a beginning balance of 50 points with which you can bet in different matches. The minimum bet will be of 5 points and the maximum one of 50.

 


The bet categories

  • Bet format 1X2 - (Home / Draw / Away)

The 1x2 markets are the most common for bettors and are the simplest way for a punter to understand the cost of a bet. 1x2 betting is also known as three-way betting, and simply refers to betting on a home win, a draw or an away win. 1x2 betting is on the outcome of a match, 1 denotes a home win, x a draw and 2 an away win, Two betting types are available for this bet format : Single bets and Accumulators.

Single bet is one pick on one game, and an accumulator (also known as a parlay or multiples) is a combination of two or more picks on one or more games, To win your bet, you must correctly predict all of your selections. The more games you select, the higher the odds increase and the bigger the potential win if all of your selections are correct.

Image will be updated ASAP with the ESMâ„¢ bet

 

 

  • Bet format: Correct Scores

A Correct Score bet allows you to predict what the final score will be in a game

 

 

2.png

  • Bet format: Under/Over

Bet an amount of points, over and under the preestablished amount of flags set in the bet.

At the end of the season the user with the best balance will earn an exclusive prize* thanks to MIONIX!

*Whenever the system works flawlessly and without any type of anomaly.

Hello everyone, after a month of harsh matches we are going to look back at what has happened until today on the ESM | A-Series CTF World League 2015. First of all, we have to communicate that the Portuguese team Armalusa after playing two of three matches and suffering heavy defeats decided to abandon the league. Another team in the same situation was FRWL that has been disqualified after not showing up for two weeks in a row.

 

The other side of the coin shows the american team 29th Infantry Division [A] and the russians 5thPK that after suffering some defeats and being on the last positions of the scoreboard they keep fighting and giving their all week after week! From the organization of the ESM we would like to show our gratitude to them because this competitive and sportsmanlike spirit is what are we seeking for our league.

 

Here are the scores for the fourth week:

 

ESM_4.png

 

 

The first big surprise came when the Russian team KND.Squad, who are one of the favourites to get the first place, lost the third week match against another Russian team, GRU, on the map ESM | CTF - The Factory with a score of 1-2. This is another example of how hard-fought the league is.

 

Currently the only unbeaten team are the Spanish 88th Co."Walking Death" Who achieved 4 consecutive wins although they still have to play against very strong teams as the team HA [CCCP] or KND.Squad, to name some. 

 

After this four weeks the scoreboard looks like this:

 

 

ESM_4_.png

 

 
* Disqualified/Withdrawn team

Armalusa Portugal Team -1.00
[FRWL]FromRussiaWithLove -1.00

 

 

Finally we would like to tell you that we are working hard in order to have for the second round around January a team of professional streamers to stream the most important matches of each week. Through the following months we will be expanding this information with more details. If anyone wants to apply for our certified team of ESM streamers do not doubt to do it and contact us through our official email info@esportsmasters.org

Hello everyone, We enter the last week of the ESMâ„¢ | A-Series CTF WL 2015 first leg and as the classification shows, it's a tight tournament, where teams change position in the standings week after week.

 

In the last report before we reach the Christmas break, we highlight the good job made by the 88th Co.â€Walking Death†in the last two rounds. They have been able to win their matches versus direct and tough opponents like KnD.Squad and HA [CCCPO]. Thanks to this, the team INS0MNIA from the 88th Co.â€Walking Death†is mathematically proclaimed winter champion, even when we still have to play to the last round.

Below you can find the virtual classification until all games are completed

Let's go for the second leg and may the more consistent team win!

Hello everyone, first we would like to thank you for an amazing last trimester of the year! Our first league is a great success thanks to the commitment from the participating teams.

 
 

esm_1_t.png

 

The 12 teams that has joined the A-Series     

 

 
 
Our colleague Garret (from ArmaHosts) is already working in what it will be our next A-Series league. As we already pointed out in earlier news, in 2016 we want to organise the second worldchampionship, but this time for the C&H gamemode.

At this point, we would like to invite you all to participate in the development of this new gamemode by contributing with your ideas. Ideas that we will try to implement as best as we can. The main features that we are introducing are:

  • Open map, there will be only two zones with restricted access: the respawn zones of each team.
  • There will be all kind of vehicles depending of the map, from armoured vehicles to aircraft.
  • Roles with unique features: medic revives, engineer repairs vehicles...
  • A mobile respawn per side.
  • Limited special weaponry, so the management will be really important.
  • Maps designed for 8 to 12 players per side.... and more.

 

Regarding the new CTF maps, we want to inform you that a new version will be launched during the first week of January. This version will include some improvements and fixes, and specially the new BI camera that will allow us to broadcast some of the matches thanks to our great caster, MicOne.

Having said that, we want to remind you that we are currently raffling a serial of the DLC pack for Arma 3 among our followers that you can check in this news: ARMA 3 DLC BUNDLE GIVEAWAY!. It might be a good way of starting 2016!
Once again thanks to all who make this project possible and specially to our sponsors Mionix and ArmaHosts for renewing your support another year.

Hy everyone, I want to inform you that next Sunday 31th January at 21:00 CET hours, our caster MicOne will broadcast the match between KnD (Russia) and the 88th Co."Walking Death". (Spain), a battle for first place in the A-Series. Despite leading the table, the Spanish team needs at least a draw in order to maintain the lead. otherwise and due to the flag-average they will finish in second place when there is still one round to end the league.

The match will be broadcasted through MicOne's official channel and we will raffle an Apex Arma 3 serial among all the followers watching the match.

 

The standings with 3 rounds to finish the league is:

 


esm_18.png

 

 

We would like to highlight the example of sportsmanship and fair play showed by the Russian team Red Mosquitoes, who in their last match versus the 88th Co.â€Walking Death†team decided to play 5 vs. 5 instead of 6 vs. 5 when the opposing team was missing a player. Attitude that can not and should not go unnoticed and from the organization we want to emphasize it as an example to follow.

 

MicOne YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/MicOneJuliet

In addition we also want to inform you that we are developing a new gamemode for our next C&H league. This time we have the invaluable support of Lord.MDB and [88] Ohmion who have offered themselves to polishing the code and implement the needed changes to create a gamemode as competitive as possible. During the first quarter of the year we will be showing more details about this gamemode and we will have several open days where everyone is welcome to test the mission and share their feedback/ideas.

Congratulations to the Russian team KnD.Squad for their 1st place and to all the teams who have made this possible. We hope you will enjoy the 8 MIONIX Sargas 320 that you earnt.

The Mionix Sargas 320 is made of a durable microfiber cloth material with slightly more friction than coated mousepads. The special microfiber surface counteracts data loss and improves the sensor tracking performance. The Sargas 320 was built with our in-house S.Q.A.T. technology which tests the data loss of the surface, many months of testing has been carried out to ensure that this cloth pad has an extremely low data loss. The underside is made of a natural rubber offering a firm grip irrespective of the surface under the mousepad or extensive movements. The wide tracking area ensures for long sweeping movements without interruption.

Here below you can view the VOD of the decisive game for the 1st place, opposing KnD.Squad to 88th Co. "Walking Death".

 

 

 

 

Please remember that to participate to the upcoming editions, you will have to give a 4€ deposit, which will be reimbursed at the end of the competition if the team has not been disqualified and has not decided to leave the competition before its end. The reason for this is quite simple; among the 12 teams initially registered, only 5 made it to the final round, which was hard hard to cope with for ESM Staff at an organization level, not to mention the disappointment of a team being finally informed that their opponents will not show after they have waited for them during 15 minutes.

 

 

We really hope you enjoyed this edition and we are looking forward to seeing you for the next one.
