ESM_LORD 32 Posted April 22, 2016 Hello again, here I bring new information about this second edition of the ESM™ | A-Series Conference League 2016. Enrolment and league characteristics Enrolment deadline for teams will be 17 of May. Each team will have to pay a 4€ fee that will be refunded once the championship ends.* Each team will have to enrol a minimum of 6 players (without a maximum) before the deadline to be able to participate. To know on which conference you will have to play each team must access the official servers and check their pings. If the ping does not exceed 150ms that will be the conference. The week between 23 and 29 of May will be the time given for local teams to propose the day and hour of the match for the visitor teams through the forum. The matches will take place on the week between 30 of May and 5 of June. The full week is given to play that week's match and for, once again, the local teams to propose the date of the match of the following week. This mechanic will be used through all the tournament. The match will consist of two rounds of 30 minutes each on the same map. The map will be chosen by the local team. Teams will have to play the matches on their own server or in a rented one. The ESM™ servers can be used only when there is any kind of problem with the team's server. Every server will have to be configured as the ESM™ official servers. Look at the rules for more information. Up to 14 teams may participate on each conference. * Read rules Main CTF characteristics 20 second respawn after death. Each side will have a backpack that works as the flag. You have to capture the enemy one and bring it to yours while defending it. Third person and crosshair will be disabled. Maximum flags captured per round: 10. Points awarded by match result: Win = 3 Draw = 1 Defeat = 0 The outcome of the match will be determined taking into account the flags captured and touches done adding both rounds. You will be able to find all the information related to this event. Do not doubt in contacting us through our forum or through our mail info@esportsmasters.org We also use this opportunity to remind everyone that we keep looking for editors that are willing to help us to develop new game mode modalities.

ESM_LORD 32 Posted May 9, 2016 Hello everyone,Some people has been asking about the 4€ inscription, what is the reason and how does it work. As we already pointed, we decided to introduce it in order to reduce the problems caused by teams withdrawing from the tournaments when they are not performing as they expected. Due to this we thought that asking for a symbolic fee as guarantee would help us, anyway the money will be returned once the tournament is over if the team did not withdraw nor had been disqualified.So you have an idea, in the last tournament there were 14 inscribed teams, only 12 teams started the tournament and 7 more withdrew or were disqualified. This forced us to redo several times the schedule and Bet & Win bets for the ESM™. As you can imagine we can not guarantee that an inscribed team will not withdraw or will be disqualified, but we can be sure that the team will not participate just to see how it is but to compete and try to win of the ESM™ trophies. Payment must be done through PayPal when the team is registering. Once the team is registered you can join the appropriate conference. Just click the *JOIN* button and make the payment. Best Regards, Electronic Sports Masters™ | Where the challenge begins ...esportsmasters.org Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ESM_LORD 32 Posted May 19, 2016 Hello everyone, little by little we are approaching the enrolment deadline of the ESM™| A-Series CTF Conference League 2016. Currently we are working on the maps as we discovered some performance issues that will be solved before the league starts. The new pack of maps will be available the 26th of May. These are the teams that have joined the league already: Notice that we may unify the teams from different conferences in one in order to reach the requirement of 8 minimum teams. Applying the requirement of maximum latency for every player (150 ms) and the conference under which all the teams will be unified will be the one who has more enroled teams. We also want to say that we are still looking for editors and scripters to work with us in this project to create new game modes with which we could attract more teams/clans from the Arma 3 community. We are actively searching for sponsors in order to offer the best prizes and giveaways for you as we already did the last edition when MIONIX provided more than 400€ in prizes. We are hoping to see you soon at our forum telling us ideas and suggestions so we could become a meeting point for e-Sports and PVP lovers of Arma 3! Remember that the last day to enrol your team is the 26th of May!
