The tournament that you have linked is a practice cup which offers Razerstore vouchers as prizes to the first place winners. They do not act as qualifiers to the primary Monthly Mayhem playoffs.

Understood and certainly appreciated. :) Hope to see you all there!

At the end of the day any matches we attempt to do are not going to agree with someone. We are going to do the best we can, if you can make it I will energetically be awaiting you in the match lobby. Otherwise, hopefully next time. :(

Due to a lack of registrants we will be modifying the format of the event.

The qualifiers have been condensed from 5 separate tournaments to a single tournament. The qualifier is played over the course of 3 weeks with 2 matches played on the same day of the week every week.

The top 16 teams will advance to the Single Elimination Playoff brackets.

We will be pushing the start date of the event back by one week and matches are scheduled by default for Thursday Wednesday. Check out the schedules and matches page for specific details on match dates and times.

I just wanted to thank everyone for playing in these events! The insight and experience we gained through the Frag Fest series was invaluable in preparing Razer Arena to serve the needs of the TF2 competitive community. We are not done, however, The Gaming Grids team is still hard at work developing new features and refining those already in place.

Where new events are concerned - we will transition from hosting the events ourselves to working with community or corporate organizers (as the platform is intended to be used). See: Buttnose and Sideshow - [EU] "Challengers Cup" and TSC and Brooky12 [NA] "The Fall Classic". Thanks guys!

If you had participated in previous events or are participating in current events, please don't hesitate to provide feedback. You can do so via the standard channels on Razer Arena (https://arena.razerzone.com/Home/Contact). Alternatively, I won't be going anywhere and will continue to bridge the gap between Razer, Gaming Grids and the TF2 community and you can contact me directly or through the forums here, I will try to stay on top of Arena related discussions.

Thanks again!

Fun fact! If you join and no one else does you get a free $25!

Sorry Skeej,

I wasn't sure when DynamoDB was going to come back online, participant count was horrifically low, and of course TotH.

Don't be too angry please, I will have a tasty brew in your honor later tonight. <3

Due to the AWS issues and the fact that TotH is actively underway I figured it would be best to push off the TF2 events for both EU and NA to Wednesday. This is the last Frag Fest event of the series, be sure to join us to send it off properly.

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that Arena is being affected by the AWS DynamoDB outage.

https://insider.razerzone.com/index.php?threads/aws-services-are-currently-down.8684/

Because of the outage we will be postponing all tournaments on the platform until the service is back in working order.

Thanks!

Woohoo! Way to go, guys! I cannot wait to see this play out.

Arie, logs shouldn't be an issue. We are going to try like hell on STV, but I have a list of IP's that I know are working, we'll flesh out that over the next few Frag Fest events to verify the IP's we are marking as A-OK are in fact that.

Thanks Tery_! I was just on my way to request the same thing.

Join us please!

About an hour left for registration.

Yep

I have no issue dropping Sunshine from rotation / earlier in the bracket. I will do that for the remainder of the Frag Fest events.

We have servers available for Asia and Australia. I will need to reach out to the communities in those regions and see if we can't get some support from them to get events going.

We may or may not be pushing a few updates.

OK, we definitely are. Arena will be back up in a few minutes.
