Yesterday the second stage of our summer cup was finished. We were a little bit disappointed with a few things. Firstly, not everyone who registered came. There were 19 out of 28 players, and in the end there were 17 left. Some of them misunderstood the starting time of the cup and it's confusing us because time was written in the first paragraph of the newspost and was highlighted with bold font. Other of them did not come without any message. Secondly, the discipline was too bad this time. Late arrivals, chatting during the match and other things lead us to change the cup rules and block the chat. Thirdly, the preparation of the PRO players is bad. We are expecting very cool runs from these players but they give us newbie-runs because they don't know the maps. Why? Of course you can prepare as you want, but for the god sake can you be a little bit serious?

As for the positive aspects, this time there were more players than in previous stage and it's cool. Hope we will see more players next time ) Also this time we had no lags, so this server was more efficient than previous. Secondly, many non-super-skillful players are very serious in preparation and it helps them to win. Well done, keep it up!

So, results of this stage:
voX
promax
topoviygus

Cup gameplay:

• Each map is played once.
• After map change you will see menu where you should confirm that you are ready. As soon as everyone is ready, cup admin initiates start. You don't need to press start button, but you have to press the finish (unless maximum time has expired).
• There are hidden checkpoints placed all over the map. If maximum map time is over and you haven't reached the finish, server will suppose that you passed the map with maximum time plus some addition, based on number of remaining checkpoints. If more than one player have the same last checkpoint, server will take in consideration the order of reaching it.
• If you die then you will be teleported somewhere at the middle of your path (number of last checkpoint is divided by two).
• Passing time will be automatically turned into points just like on main servers (article about points system). Points on maps (and on cups) are summed. At the end of the season players will take prizes.

Maps:
fof_chillbhop (2 minutes)
bhop_ytt_minecraft (3 minutes)

We continue our series of Rush of The Week with run of Dolphin on stf_creepytemple. This demo was recently posted both in our release and Xtreme-Jumps as a new world record, with more than 1 second improvement. And again we have zmokiE as a moviemaker here, pay attention to his work on color correction, finally this map has a good lighting. Thirty fps add some entourage, although it is a tempopary measure due to the fact that zmokiE works not from his home. Enjoy!


By the way, registration for the second stage of our cup will be opened on Tuesday, don't miss it!

The first stage of our Summer cup is finished. There was 13 participants this time but this number was enough to make it very fun and interesting cup, mostly due to our new casters - iSo1 and round. Thanks them a lot for that. Of course this cup was not perfect especially due to some lags on the server, but we divided participants for two groups and problem was solved. Next time we will buy different server and hope that there will be no lags in the future. So, leaders of our first stage is:
1. topoviygus
2. promax
3. voX
