(To watch in HD !)

Hello everyone, I am Snake, and I'm delighted to introduce you the Second Season of the MLK! :)
This league is somewhat different than the other.
All the clans are not welcome.

"Why ?"

Because I prefer to select the most serious and active clans who will really invest in this league instead of a ton(ne) of casual clans who will play one or no matches during the league.
A message was sent to all the clans with certain requirements, they had a week to answer me.
So here are 13 clans who will participate in this league!​

Other new features of this season:

Commentator's form

some new maps !
Maps

And for finish a new ELO ranking system !

​

How does the league work ?

• You have to play a quick match against another clan with "official rules" (small rounds with an official map pool).
  
• You have to report your match here with a proper template.
• After the clan war, one player of each clan needs to approve the match result in the right thread.

How long does it last ?

1. The first part of the season consists of a freeplay period (3 months) where each clan can fight to gain points.
2. When the freeplay period of the season ends after 3 months, the top 4 clans advance into a playoff bracket.
3. The freeplay period end the 13 November 2015.
4. The winner will become the best Kag clan of the Major League Season 2 !

​

Will there be "official servers" for that league ?

• Servers are provided by @Leo @makmoud98 and @cameron1010 for each continent.
  
• You can "borrow" some servers to play your matches.
  
• Actually, there are 5 servers running with a password :

[Major League Kag S2 - Frankfurt] by @makmoud98
[Major League Kag S2 - Chicago] by @makmoud98
[Major League Kag S2 - California] by @Leo
[Major League Kag S2 - Australia] by @cameron1010


Clan leaders and co-leaders will be added to an official list (they will be able to restart/next map). Pm one of the administrators or Snake for more infos about these servers.

Am i allowed to use my own server ?

• Yes, you can use your own server but you need to use our rules and our official map pool.
• here a tutorial to create your own server with our rules/maps.

I dont really understand how it works !

• Reply into that thread if you have any questions !

Special thanks

@Leo @makmoud98 and @cameron1010 the owners of the servers !
@SpideY The guy who gave me the reins of MLK
@Mariox222 the creator of the application form
@MadRaccoon / @Fuzzle The creators of the MLK website, Designer and creator
@Blue_Tiger advices + Correction of English mistakes.
@CowboyDan / @t3rnary twitch managers + advices
@Darknighte9 the guy who made this trailer

I forget probably many people. Thanks to everyone who helped me to create that league.

 

Nice topic. I just want to tell that there will be a server in Dallas, Texas also available

 

Nice job guys. I hope to see some matches!

 

Excuse me, does the freeplay season start like right now? How does it excatly work? Do we just challenge a clan to a war, and if we win we get points? Can we do this unlimited times?? I can't find the answer to this anywhere.

 

So yes the free play period start NOW
You can challenge what clans of this league you want.

The purpose of an Elo system is to encourage clans to attack another with more points than them or the same number of points to win the most points possible.
in some ways, more you attack a clan with more points than your and more you are going to win points.

Of course you can attack small clans with less ELO points than your but you will win few points. So it's not very interesting...

Thus ELO system prevents the biggest clans to farm the small (because its not very advantageous in points)
and encourages the small clans to attack the big to win more points.


"Can we do this unlimited times??"

Of course (until the end of the free play period) You can do 3 clans wars each week if you want :)

Also guys don't forget to post your application for being an official commentator ! :)

Commentator's form

I personally think @Lee_Shioon @Lieber and @kodysch are perfect for this job ! But what not you ?

 

@DatNobby I summon you for the reason above.

 

ill fight both of you at once
let's go

 

Easy boy, I just wanted to notify you, not asking for a cw.

 

i cant be on 24/7 for this >:O

 

^ I dont want to be that guy but we don't have time to play matches all the time so how can a clan like mine keep up with others :P? I don't know if its too late but scheduled matches setup would be pretty cool . Although, congratulations on getting this stuff going and as it goes on i'm sure we'll work out the errors. My main concern is getting the more busy clans involved enough so they have a chance to compete

 

I do agree with Dual, a bracket style league would be more skill, and less grind. I think a 2 loss elimination bracket would be better. Thanks for putting this stuff together, even though everyone might aswell quit now because 2.0 is in the league .

 

it is possible to finish the free play period of the season in the top 3 clans without playing a lot of games. You Just need to focus the clans with many ELO points to progress quickly in the league. :)

 

What if they just refuse to play :P?

 

They they are either pussies or probaly wanking.

 

I hope this competition is much better organized than the KWC 2
