Afternoon, folks.

 

TPG's second season of competitive Hawken is now complete! We would like to thank all participating teams, players, and captains for their contributions especially given the difficulties which arose through Hawken's hibernation. Additionally, the various captains/co-leads have my personal gratitude: we couldn't've completed the season without your communication and coordination efforts.

 

As per my earlier thread, placements were determined through regular season rankings rather than through playoffs.

 

 

Champions: The Majestic Moose of Canadia (Omniscient)

 

Second: Vanguard

 

Third: The Automatic Mustangs

 

 

Want to watch some high-tier Hawken? I've gathered recordings from Season 2's deciding games, replete with r-rated language. (Seriously, though: they include unedited TS recordings, so don't watch if you're easily offended)

Want to participate in Season 3? Here's a list of teams that've confirmed S3 participation. Please note that some teams may run invite-only recruiting policies.

 

Team Handsome (Omniscient)

Vanguard

The Automatic Mustangs [Recruiting]

Axe Attack [Recruiting?]

Vendetta

The B-Team

Trentik Defense Militia [Recruiting]

Super Awesome Sparkle Squad

 

Interested in Season 3 information? Tough cookies: I just wanted you to read this thread.

 

[S3 information coming soon]

Should join regardless.  Provided we have enough teams, I can do some scheduling witchcraft to ensure that weaker teams aren't constantly playing out of their depth.  Think I'd need at least 9 teams to make that work.

B-Team recruiting is on hold pending resolution of outstanding invites and people's schedules.

...I should probably post that in the thread.

sign up your teams

gives recruits a place to roster up while you build

it's always up to you if/when you want the team activated in the scheduling pool

Yeah I have a question re: that on the TPG site. Is it possible to rename or retag a team or would we have to remake?

Yeah, can definitely rename a team at the captain's request (provided we're not getting constant silly requests re: name changes),

Cool. After a many-hour-long negotiating session one of my players finally signed contingent on a name change, which I countered with the contingency that I would do so if we beat one team. Hell, I said, if we beat two I'll even accept suggestions.

Incentives!

Play anyways. Practice only gets you so far and at the rate this community gets things done, you will have plenty of time to develop fundamentals.

Sign-up and use the start of the pre-season as a practice schedule delimiter.

The problem we're having is communication right now. The moment things get crazy, we tend to get quiet. I forget callouts and things. We're trying not to overly abuse ourselves so we don't get frustrated with eachother. We're all fairly good players, but cohesion is building. We want to take things slow. We're shooting for S4 though.

If you come in with the right attitude you don't have to win a single match, or even come close, to learn a TON from a TPG season.

 

In the worst case, think of it as a way to force teams to schedule scrims with you. :teehee:

It may be a that lack of communication is a result of other issues with your team. In my experience even in real sports a team must trust each other and see each other as equals, the only way to achieve that imo is to grind it out. Along the way you start to figure out the limits of your team individually, and this gives you something to work on. For now though: don't let it go quiet, keep talking even if you think the information is trivial (which is may be), if you keep the chatter up it may help your brains from straying and thinking too heavily upon your own personal game. Once everyone goes quiet, there's a whole lot of stupid judgemental thoughts that can start flying through one's silly head, it's only a matter of time before you start blaming everything else except for your lack of teamwork. Constructing a team regardless of skill level is a feat in it of itself, especially with our player base, to practice regularly and grind it out is the real challenge. Good luck.
