Just had an amazing victory secured by counting how many shots the enemy made and knowing when they were out of ammo. First thought - such a shame I wasn't recording. Second thought - if I were I wouldn't have time to count the fucking shots!

As a result, moved up 15 spots to #60.

Also, piplz, be part of the tournament, plz.

Because it's an EU tournament, it would depend on the time games were being played. Otherwise I'm keen.

Cool. I'm sure we'll figure something out. Why don't you add your name to the list provisionally so that it looks less pathetic : )

yeah, without 4 it's just silly.

Yep. Four is semifinals. Three is a sex triangle.

I haven't yet played a single multiplayer game, so I think I'll likely end up as Tail "Punching Bag" Swallower, in XCOM parlance.

Not late at all. Just add your name to the list in your post.

Excellent. The first "season" will start on the 16th. Feel free to continue to sign up.

For those new to XCOM multiplayer there's a good guide on 2k forum that covers the most common squad compositions.

Does anyone know how the "invite friends" option is supposed to work?

I've been using it. What exactly would you like to know?

As I understand, you have to set up a private unranked match, then send an invite to one of your friends on Steam. That friend gets a popup message, which s/he can click and be transported to the match start screen, right? Anything important I left out?

You're spot on as far as my eyes can see.

Jim mentioned us on the front page - RPS frontpagers, embrace the X-com tournament. Still plenty of spaces to compete.

So far, the leagues are looking like this:

League A:

• Fire Water Gasoline
  
• Kataras424
• TailSwallower

League B

• Sotto Voce
• Steef_
• Cabal_

General rules: 10k spend, 90 second turns, randomly assigned level [I'll give it to you for the fixture, maybe?]

-In week one you play your first fixture in division
-In week two you play your second fixture in division
-The winner of the two divisions will then play against each other to decide who is the best. The runners up with play each ----Other to decide who is not best. The losers will play each other because otherwise they have to wait a week to play again.

Does that all make sense?

-In week one you play your first fixture in division
-In week two you play your second fixture in division

Wait, if there are three players per division, doesn't that mean someone has to play both matches in the same week?
