A quick highlight reel from the pre-season week action!

The Competition Picks Up

Thank you to all our players who joined us in our pre-season testing week for Minecraft and Rocket League. It was fun getting to know everyone and we know a couple of formidable Rocket League squads are forming, so watch out everyone else! This week, the competition heats up as we open our Ladder competition.

Going forward, each Monday we will give you highlights from the past week and things to look forward to, so let's jump right in!

Who will climb to the top?

Competitive Ladders

These matches count! When you join a Ladder, you are saying "You Mean Business" and you're ready to compete for fame, glory, and of course prizes. Ladders are very simple - each game you play helps you climb up or down the ladder. At the end of the season, the top competitors will receive prizes and earn points towards the Golden Dragon program!

How Do Ladders Work?

Tonight's Event: GG Smitty's Redemption

In tonight's event, GG Smitty seeks redemption after his poor performance last week.

In last week's fun, GG Smitty got pulled into the fray and the results were.... not pretty. GG Smitty was a bit rusty and the players scored on him left, right, and center (looking at you, Prince....). This week, he has his pro controller back and he's ready to rumble.

Players will form up in squads of 3s tonight, and we'll try to balance each team so they are all competitive. Then - it's Game On as we complete a series of matches and maybe even a fun micro-tournament.

If you're an opponent of GG Smitty, watch out! He's planning on handing out L's like candy. (.....maybe)

Minecraft Build Challenge - Tour and Destroy Event!

Two weeks ago, our Minecrafters set out to become the first Golden Dragons of the season with a special build challenge. In that challenge, we asked them to build a Dragon's Lair to tame their dragon!

On Saturday at 12pm EST, GG MagickPanda will be touring everyone's builds live on screen and showcasing everyone's hard work. After the tours, he will reveal the Final Judges Scores and declare our winners of the first Golden Dragons Build Challenge!

And after? Well, we saved a backup of everyone's work, so we're going to turn on the destruction permissions and see what happens when the dragons decide to escape their new homes and rain down destruction! It will be a blast. Literally!
