Good evening!

 

This announcement and explanation concerns anyone currently participating in Season 2 of Hawken's TPG League. After having spoken with – and gotten permission from – each active team captain, we have decided to forego Season 2's playoffs. The first, second, and third placements will be determined through the regular season standings. If, at the end of our regular season matches, two teams possess the same numeric record, they will play a best of three series to determine ranking.

 

Here are the reasons for this decision:

  1. It has been over a month since the league's resumption, and longer still since (most) team captains knew that we would be continuing. Still, several games remain to be played. Were we to continue our original playoff plans at the same scheduling pace, it would take at least another month to complete the league. This isn't, of course, a slight against any teams or captains. I know that it's been difficult contacting and gathering your players, and organizing matches that accord with their schedules. We sincerely appreciate the effort that has gone into Season 2 from all captains and team members.

  2. The main goals behind the resumption of Season 2 have been achieved. Specifically, we will (at the end of the regular season) have sufficient data for ranking purposes; we've ensured that the previous efforts of admins, captains, and teams haven't gone to waste; and we've gotten players and teams to return to competitive Hawken.

  3. Ending the league early means that new teams are free to form, that existing teams are free to recruit, and that new players may enter the league. In short, it gives us ample prep time for Season 3 – a season which we'll now be able to complete before summer's end.

  4. Ending early also allows TPG to focus on other initiatives (such as TPG Cups/tournaments) while we wait for Season 3 to begin. Expect to see announcements concerning Siege and Draft Tournaments in the near future.

  5. Our timing coincides nicely with the release of widely-available private servers and their positive effects on competitive play/player retention and interest.

 

Here are the remaining games:

 

TANG vs. Vanguard

TANG vs. Axe Attack

Axe Attack vs. Vendetta

 

At this point, the championship has been locked by The Majestic Moose of Canadia (Omniscient). Second, third, fourth, and fifth are under contention.

I would. For real though 9:30 est is way past his bedtime.

But he'd luv to watch the robots fight, and it's going to be some excellent Hawken.
