PHG Elite Championship update

#1

Hello everyone.

As the Co-owner of the PHG Elite Championship, or PEC, I have two major updates for everyone.

The first is that we have listened to Feedback on the tournament.

While we can’t change the rules for the first tournament we can take the feedback into consideration for our next tournament.

The next tournament will feature less bans and less modifiers and will try to represent the base game more while also striving to improve gameplay and balance.

The second announcement is that the tournament will be delayed to the weekend of June 4th.

This will allow us to to gather more people for the tournament as well as give everyone a chance to practice with the new rules properly.

If anyone is interested in joining please join the discord and if you have questions either me or @Umbrellaops will answer them.

Yeah it just felt a little too restrictive. I understand the reasoning in trying to balance out the game a bit for the tournament but you’re also hindering play styles in the process I feel.

The majority of bans were stat increases though. Not to say there weren’t other bans but prototype and grenade launcher for A.I clear is still there, as well as the Hammerhead weapons which is more viable. Assault bullet damage for Yautja hunting, sniping with the 7en. Dexterous, double time scouts for OBJ. OWLF for stealth or tanking hits.

And if we went down the same road to the second tourney specializations would add even more builds.

We’ll still take the critism but there is still a variety of builds you can do.

True, at least from the view of me and my team. But the issue is mass appeal.

If we don’t have support we can’t run a tourney.

Everyone can eat 💩 , a big bag of 💩.

Do you have many people registered?

#9

No unfortunately

We have enough people in the discord but most of them are inactive.

So we only have a teams worth of people.

That’s why getting mass appeal is so important

TBF from what I know the owner of that tournament knew a person who who knew a person who knew Illfonic…

Cliche I know.

I believe it was a marketer who either got in touch with Illfonic or had worked with Illfonic before so they had an in with them.

Messaging illfonic about a tournament that restricts half of their content might steer them away from you

#16

But we don’t restrict half their content.

Most of that list were repeats for class based bans.

#17

You also made this for psn only right

#18

Ya. We didn’t have the time to manage a PC varient.

We’re aiming to have a PC tournament alongside the next one but we can’t garuntee anything yet.

#19

So what’s about the class repeat? Do the class specific attributes stack from multiple players with the same class?? NO!
Or the perks?? Also NO!
So… IMO That’s a stupid rule.
A tournament should be a mirror of the game. Not some distorted and adultered version of it.

Actually yes.

Now a squad can’t run all scouts and recons preventing them from moving together as a squad extremely fast between compounds.

Running four assaults inherently gives you more damage, thanks to their passive, than a squad with one assault.

So yes multiple classes do have an impact.

Perk repeat is allowed.

If you didn’t mean perk repeat please be more specific.

People hate this game so why would we want to mirror it?

What’s the value in mirroring a game 100%?

And what’s wrong with being different?

We aimed to fix the problems people have with this game both in terms of gameplay and balance.
