We already have 38 out 40 rounds played so far and still not a single draw. Today (Wednesday) and during the week all the missing games will happen. We try to update this NEWS post with all upcoming matches and stream links.

UPDATE for the Balance Mod Cup (AGAIN)

ALL week 2 games will now be played with the updated BT Mod Version.

Week 1 games which are still open can be played in the "old" version or the "new" version.

If one of teams wants the "old" version for the remaining week 1 games, you have to play the "old" version.

The mod ID for the old balance mod version is publish_id = "9272580".

The "new" balance mod got the following changes:

• drifters can now clear marine ghost structures (to avoid marins blocking rts)
• removed medpack CD from marine commander UI (marines have now a pickup delay)
• removed vision obscuring effect of gorge spit
• reduced harvester cost to 8 (since you pay for cysts and drifters now)
• reduced exo armor to 280, down from 400
• increased exo armor upgrade to 45, up from 40
• changed puncture player damage scalar to 1.5 (was 1.25)
• higher skulk speed (over 12) is more diffcult to gain without celerity
• reduced phase tech and observatory cost to 10 t.res (were 15)
• fade and lerk + 15 armor

removed changes:

• removed pre-evolving eggs / dropping equpiment, instead resource towers can now generate additional resources for field player
• commanders will no longer start with personal resources and won't get resources for 30 seconds after logging out (to avoid fadeplosion)
• commanders no longer start with p.res
• replaced t.res drops with a transform t.res to p.res function at resource towers (15tres into 1pres)
• changed shotgun damage type to heavy
• reduced shotgun base damage to 136
• moved fades health to more armor (heal up faster, but also die faster against heavy damage, shotgun and minigun) (not sure about the current state)
• regeneration upgrade increases now all heals by 3% per level
• carapace upgrade decreases now all heals by 5% per level
• lmg spread is lower again
