Ragnarocktoberfest King Of The Hill 5v5
October 23,
Oh yeah, I should probably post about the last day of Ragfest! Even though it was a different tournament, I had the opportunity to compete with the Eh Team in another tournament. We had a great showing!
King Of The Hill
Far From Home is one of the most impressive teams available.
You can find a complete ruleset on the Blaster Tag Association’s website.
In short, two teams of 5 (with possible subs) aim to control three different timers for as long as possible. Players who get tagged have to go back to their base and wait to respawn, then come back into play. At the end of six minutes, the total times are added up, one point per second, with the largest score winning.
We had eleven teams at Ragfest. It was originally intended to have twelve teams, but we were unable to find team #12. One pool (Eh Team, Far From Home Fury) won a free victory with an average point score being added to seeding in the single-elimination stage. Shoutout to the organizers for having to try to deal with the situation as fairly as possible Im sure all of us would have preferred playing an extra game.
In any case, eight teams made it through to the single elimination round. Eh Team (me, Jeff Blu and others who were picked up during the week before Ragfest) won both games to automatically get in. Generally, my job was to use my Stryfe, race to the right corner of the field, and keep people from taking control of key pieces of cover.
One Elimination
Only the Eh Team Light!
Unfortunately, this is the part where the Eh Team lost, but it was not without a fight. We were seeded against Null and had one the most exciting fights of the day out of all the three timers. However, we lost by three second. *PULLS HAIR OUT*
It is a good thing that Null made it to the finals. Unfortunately, they lost to Team Dauntless. So we didnt just lose to any team
