HAWKEN Community Plays to Heal Kids

A team of HAWKEN players have banded together to play HAWKEN for charity. On November 2, 2013, Xacius, Corpinator, DER3Z, Captain_Kill_Jack, MexichanMan, Mobstarr, and TunsofFun will play HAWKEN matches for 25 hours and stream the entire marathon online as part of the Extra Life charity event that supports the Children’s Miracle Network.

Xacius, who formed the HAWKEN team for the event, got involved with Extra Life last year because both of his parents are doctors. “It’s great to be able to lend my support from behind the computer chair,” says Xacius. “The Extra Life charity was perfect for me.”

Extra Life began in 2008, when the Sarcastic Gamer community decided to help a young girl named Tori who was battling leukemia. Over the next two years, they raised over $300,000 for the Texas hospital where Tori was treated.

In 2009, Extra Life partnered with the Children’s Miracle Network to allow gamers from all over North America help hospitals in their areas. CMN is no stranger to the healing power of gaming. They support healthy and safe gaming for kids and provide resources for healing gaming habits for parents.

Extra Life participants can choose from over 170 hospitals in the U.S. and Canada that the Children’s Miracle Network helps support. Players outside North America can also choose hospitals and causes in their own locales. In the past five years, Extra Life has raised over $4 million to help sick children all over the world.

All of Xacius’s donations will go to help the Rady Children’s Hospital in San Diego, where his mother works as a pediatrician. Mobstarr, the HAWKEN Team’s lone European player, is raising money for Children’s National to help its international initiatives.

Corpinator is raising money for Driscoll Children’s Hospital in Corpus Christi, Texas. Like many on the team, Corpinator is a member of the Black Steel Brotherhood, a prominent HAWKEN clan. When asked why he joined with his fellow clan mates for the charity marathon, Corpinator said: “Seeing this Extra Life opportunity mash together gaming as my hobby, and charity as my extracurricular interest, I saw no reason to hesitate.”

How You Can Help

If you want to support the HAWKEN team, head to their team page on the Extra Life website. You can donate to any or all of the members, or even join the team. Then on November 2, beginning at 8 a.m. PT, log into one or more of the live streams listed below and watch the team play HAWKEN for 25 hours straight.

Pour yourself a drink, I'll sing you a song.

Are they playing on closed servers, or are they gonna be on with the rest of us? If it's the latter, I'll make sure to log in at the 23 hour point and start beating down on them because they'll be so tired.

25hrs... That"s some marathon.
This I could probably do with a 5hr energy or two, I can't bring myself to shave my head :( .
I'll donate what I can and look into joining the team if possible. I'll most likely be dominated on the field but it's for a good cause :D

We won't be using closed servers, as far as I'm concerned.  I'll be hopping around in pubs throughout the 25 hour stream.

Now I just need to stock up on beer, goldfish, and Dr. Pepper.

This! And maybe we could do some games "Team Hawken vs. Community" or something similar.
If anyone wants to play during the charity event, just add me to your friendslist. I will play on UK and US-east servers. Feel free to join my server then. Maybe I'll open some partys too, dunno yet, we'll see.
