FTCM #2

Post by 0000 »

I'd like to invite everyone to join the second Fast Track Cage Match! Many of the newer fortress players got their start with this style, and we'd LOVE to have a few of the great low rubber players step out of their comfort zone and give it a go. It's one day before Ladle at Ladle time. That's Saturday 3/31/12 at 17:00 GMT.

Yes, it is a different game, speeding around and banging into walls! To be sure it isn't for everyone. But it requires certain skills that just aren't found in other game styles, and at the highest level the matches are intense. Just be ready for lots of double-binding, and bring your 0.2 clients as 0.3/0.4 don't play nice.

This tournament can be euro-friendly given enough interest and servers. Server help would be appreciated as well.

Well, no, because EST is Eastern Standard Time, and EDT is Eastern Daylight Time. The former is used during the winter and the latter during summer. (Same with PST/PDT - Pacific)

It's the same time zone but it changes name when it switches to daylight saving.
