Event Summary:

It was good fun to watch North Americans learn the various kickers that our Event Manager Aton ran for this event!  After a bit of a rocky start, the North Americans managed to win VIP mode on ze_echo_boatescape_extended after 7 tries.  Blind VIP mode on ze_boatescape6_remix_fix2 proved to be tremendous fun as well as very challenging, taking 6 tries to win.  Players highly enjoyed this mode and you can bet that it will appear in future events!

The event continued on ze_boatescape_batata_ultimate_v1_2, the laser lovers' ultimate boat map!  A quick 4-1 start was achieved, and then due to a lack of laser tryhards, it took 7 attempts to finally win the last stage.  Three players managed the final stage win.

ze_venice_escape_b2 was the next map, and was played with nemesis spawning among humans.  The player "z1." scoffed at this challenge and soloed the map on the second round.  What a pro!  Take notes, kids.

Moving on to ze_sorrento_xmas_v4, there were some minor technical difficulties which resulted in the entire server being rewarded VIP.  The map was still played and fun was had by all.  We apologize for the inability to play the "1 slow nemesis with low knockback" mode, but don't worry, we'll make sure we figure out the issue and we will play it in the future.

The event wrapped up with healbeacon mode on ze_grandboat_escape_n_v4_3.  The North Americans tried their best, but the initial settings of 3 healbeacons proved too much for them to handle.  Over the course of dozens of tries, Event Manager Aton graciously modified the healbeacon kicker several times, eventually ending up with 10 healbeacons (but with a smaller than normal radius).  Alas, it was to no avail.  The North Americans will unfortunately have to add this map to their short list of maps that they were unable to beat in an event.  Perhaps they will get a shot at redemption in the future?
