So the 80 players spots have been filled. If you have a level 20 character and want to play, you can still sign up to go on the reserve list! So let's break down exactly how it will go. There are 2 rounds, first a tournament between players to decide the best team. The winning team goes on to play our Panzar Studios Crew.

First Round - players vs players.

To make sure everything is fair and interesting, teams will all have the same composition:

2 BERSERKERS - 1 TANK - 2 FROST WITCHES - 1 SISTER OF FIRE - 1 SAPPER - 1 GUNNER - 1 INQUISITOR - 1 PALADIN

During the live stream, we will first have a random draw (random number generator) to decide the TEAM CAPTAIN for the 8 teams. Then we will do a random draw by class to put the players into teams.

Here are the 80 players, those who suggested multiple chars have saved Queen Bee's life and brain. And for that, she sincerely thanks you!



The random selection will be live for all to see (or watch later) and the final organisation will look like this:



Why did we choose a random draw? Why can't players decide the teams? Why aren't we using the usual clans?

Queen Bee has been your Community Manager for nearly 6 months now and the reality is that there are 5 teams/clans that are simply excellent. So excellent, that for the moment, they are nearly unchallenged. This decision has two aims:

- give everybody with a level 20 character a chance to participate in something awesome.
- give our best players the chance to share their talent and develop both training skills and strategy in an unknown environment.

If all goes according to plan, Panzar EU will have level 30 by the Players vs Devs match and we will be able to give the winning team temporary level 30 chars to train with and play on for the match.

Writing programming scripts to change the game system is a complex job - we obviously hope everything will go to plan, but if it doesn't, the match will be played on level 20 and maybe the prize or one of them can be a temporary level 30 char for the best team.

The prizes for Chaosphere should be decided tomorrow and announced here.

A second post will follow with the basic outlay of the event rules - everything has already basically been said, so there should be no surprises - but we encourage you to read them anyway.

Ask your questions here here.

I think, devs have fear about the skill from EU players

2 things to note:

- Snookeh was omitted from the list through Queen Bee's error. This has been fixed, he will go in Vizor's spot and Vizor will return to first place on the substitution list - as was the original plan. Vizor, sorry about that!

- SapportCZ has cancelled and been replaced by Da.MightySAP
