Gst 2016

Gang Spar Tournament 2016

It's here... the most revolutionary tournament GraalOnline has ever seen.

Our annual GST (short for Gang Spar Tournament) is fast approaching and with this comes a plethora of innovative concepts designed to create a GST experience like none other.
I have been planning this event one year in advance and it's eventually happening - the best one, of all-time.
GST 2016 will be held in roughly two weeks from now. The exact date and time can be found in Multiplex' GST area.
This year, we've taken a lot of feedback into account and a lot of your ideas were implemented.

What's the GST?
The Gang Spar Tournament is one of, if not the most hyped event on Era iPhone. The yearly tournament is hosted by Anero and commentated by Meph.
It's been designed to discover the best gang - the gang that combines teamwork with individual skill.
Every team has 12 members on their team and will go head-to-head in an arena until one team is left standing.. the GST Champions.

How do I get into GST?
Twelve gangs have been picked through special stipulations designed by logging - the qualifications were held this past week.
Four gangs have received a free-pass to qualify for this year's tournament due to their outstanding accomplishment and domination in the prior year.

So by now you probably want to know.. who has made it through?

Congratulations to the gangs who made it through!
The brackets can be viewed in-game, they're inside a room in the GST area.

What are the rules this year?
Every team gets 12 members from their gang's lineup, and it is against the rules to switch your lineup during GST.
Moreover, going over a lag limit we've designed will result in an instant kick due to the nature of which lagging's advantages propose.
Using VPN during matches is also not permitted.
Abuse of any bugs or glitches can and will disqualify your entire gang due to blatant disregard of rules.
Dressing as the same person and using the same nick in one team is now also not allowed.
These rules are subject to change at any moment but should be recognized as permanent.

What items can I use?
The only item you can use in the GST is the Multiplex Gun - raw skill will be required in this year's GST.
Melees are not required nor needed - lagging players will be kicked. You will also not be able to heal.
All shots count!

Where can I watch the GST this year?
I have prepared a show and we'll be live-streaming GST 2016 here:
twitch.tv/EraGST
There will also be an in-game stream but I highly recommend watching the show.

That's it for now...
I'd like to thank Meph for always supporting me and my ideas.
It's show-time.

Thanks for reading and see you at the 2016 GST!

just a note, Directionz was our gang spar tag and lethalinjection was our base battle gang, we will be using the LethalInjection name tho, and is updated on the bracket in mpx already, in case you're confused.

If we have no raw skill can the individual not attend? Since it is required, furthermore, how do you classify if a person has the amount of raw skill needed to participate?

if a member is unable to participate do we need to provide set back-ups? you say the lineup is unable to be changed, what if someone cant participate for some reason that time/day?

I'll ask the gang leaders for their line-up + 3 possible subs soon.

These 15 members cannot be changed.

oh wow, ok then.

also as you stated on this same thread, we have until 7/16 to create our line-ups, but you were messaging the owner of our tag asking for the lineup from us today, any particular reason why? we haven't decided on the lineup yet, as many other gangs haven't either im assuming...

That's because I am doing livestream stuff which takes hours and I'll probably have to do a night-shift. I'll be on vacation from Sunday to Thursday which is why I'm a bit under pressure.

Most gangs have sent me their line-up but yeah, you still have until Saturday. However, it would be good if it happened earlier.

Yeah what he said is true apparently.

Oh well, their leader had a foul mouth to begin with and a pretty low IQ when he knows the consequences for altering with someone's account through hacking.

Good, who knows what they would have tried during GST.
