Let them win in aim arena then humiliate them on the dueling grounds. Then play 3v3 wipeout for fun.

See if he likes the map editor? It’s really cool how much you can do within the in-game editor.

This game has so many good maps on release, even the time trial maps look and feel good in both physics modes. And if they are able to really leverage community mapping the future is bright.

There's a NA duel tournament today starting 2pm EDT (less than an hour from this post). There are 160 odd participants but QPL players won't be there as today is a QPL match day. Today is BO3 double elimination, tomorrow the top 8 will play a BO5 double elimination tournament as finals.

There doesn't appear to be an official stream, which is weird for a test tournament! Hopefully enough streamers can arrange to spectate some good matches.

There will be an EU tournament at the end of September, today is NA-only.

It’s mechanically closer to Q3. There are no champions, grenades instead of tribolt. Weeballs sort of replace champion abilities but they’re consumable items either player can pick up.

Item times are 25s armor, 35s megahealth so full control is much harder to keep.

Duels are 12 minutes long but:
1. the end time is reduced by 30 seconds for each point of score difference
2. The game will not end until one player is in “golden frag” mode and the other player dies. Golden frag starts when there is no more time on the clock, it becomes a sudden death victory for anyone with the most points (so if there’s a tie at 12 minutes both players get “golden frag” status, a player with a one frag lead goes golden at 11:30, a player making a comeback can get it themselves by tying the game up).

So there’s always a potential for a comeback if the down player can avoid dying, and stomps are much shorter than close games. Overtime is always sudden death for at least one player.

Hit boxes closely conform to the egg on top and are cylinders at the bottom. There are a lot of QoL features like forcing enemy colors, disabling fixed damage numbers, crosshair and HUD customization. Vanity items are either egg stickers (like eyes/nose/mouth or decals) or weapon skins, no weird changes to an enemy’s profile like hats or capes or huge flickering wings.

Setting mouse sensitivity and view FOV is beautifully handled by in game converters, you can put in your CS or Overwatch or QC values and it will convert them to the exact equivalent.

There’s no walk key but crouch doesn’t slow you as much. The rail gun damage is lower (70) but does more damage with consecutive hits (75, 80... up to 100 after 6 hits). Rockets are predicted client side (up to 120ms!) so instead of QC’s zero damage directs you get bounced atrociously and there’s currently some weirdness when the server does reconciliation over short rockets.

There is a dash on a long cool down (4s I think) that is disabled by taking damage. It’s a bit like Warsow dash but only keeps your momentum up to about 600ups. It instantly changes direction and gives a good starting speed. I think circlejumping is identical to Q3 but strafejumping gives a little more air control (much less than CPMA). So it’s much closer to Ranger than Anarki but not quite like either. Time trial mode can have diabotical or race physics so you can tell the difference there.

I can’t watch atm but day 2, a double elim bracket with the top 8 from yesterday, just started. Reybg and davjs were streaming their games yesterday and I imagine will do so again, timconlan was spectating with analysis with d3th after he got eliminated, pressok was also streaming tournament games. Can’t do the twitch links from mobile easily but hopefully these names will be at the top of the diabotical category.

There was apparently a for fun 3v3 wipeout tournament tonight, the grand finals are about to happen. It's Rapha, DaHang, whaz vs. br1ck, psygib, id_.

edit: I misread something, that was WB finals. LB semifinals are ongoing and there's a main stream at https://twitch.tv/GetCrackedDBT

The EU test duel series is today (double elim down to top 8) and tomorrow (top 8). Agent is already through to top 8 but a lot more games today.

bracket

It looks like there’s no official stream for today but lots of players seem to be streaming their own games or each others’. Hopefully top 8 will be on the Juked stream tomorrow at noon EDT/5pm CET
