[Race Tournament]The End of The Battle

[GARIK08]

Long time ago, in those distant days when the evil spirit of Off-road wheels had not yet attacked the community, and Wenom was not the one effortlessly claiming first place in every round. Back when a time of 2:08 on Wu Zi Mu was considered a great achievement, and mappers, like wizards, created maps with such intricate lines that it took your breath away. In those days, when the National Cup wasn’t signed up by sixteen teams from a single nation, but by sixteen different nations.

Somewhere in the principality of LSR, a new idea ignited within us. We envisioned something fresh—a show destined to make history. For us, it was a thrilling new challenge. In August 2016, it all began. We called it The Battle Begins. Sixty-four actors, sixty-four stories, sixty-four fates, all woven together on a single stage. A tournament that was meant to mark the start of something greater. The winners? Their names may have faded from memory, but those who were there, who witnessed it firsthand, still remember those days. It was a time when, for many, everything was just beginning. Some took their first steps on stage, while others, weary yet wise, passed their knowledge to a new generation, leaving their mark on history. And no one knew where this path would lead.

Years passed, the stage evolved, just as the world around us changed. But we couldn’t leave this story unfinished. In 2021, as if awakening from a long slumber, we returned with a new season—The Battle Continues. This wasn’t just a continuation; it was a revival. The atmosphere in the air, the performances that left the audience breathless—it all became another chapter in MTA Race history. The old guard reminisced with nostalgia about the first season, while the new generation absorbed every word, every emotion, trying to imagine how it all began.

But history never stands still. The second season demanded a conclusion, a finale to put a definitive end to this saga. Actors, tired of simple roles, craved new challenges. The veterans whispered, "Remember how it was?" And the newcomers, holding their breath, listened to their tales, dreaming of becoming part of the legend themselves.

And now, years later, we return to where it all began—to complete what was started so long ago. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome... The End of The Battle. We invite all who wish to take part in this battle, where everyone can test their skills, enjoy the races, and feel the spirit of competition.

Yesterday, we concluded our series of 2x2x2x2 tournaments.

I want to summarize the results from the perspective of both the organizer and a witness to all the races. The registration process was extremely difficult. Honestly, I don’t remember ever struggling this much to find players. In the past, for a similar tournament, we’d get up to 15 teams registered on the first day, with 4-6 more teams signing up as reserve.

Over 50 players participated in the tournament! There could have been more, but some registered teams couldn’t play. As a result, some groups had 4 teams, while others only had 2. In each subsequent round, all groups had 4 teams—two were the winners of their groups from the previous round, and the other two were the teams that placed second. This way, we could create balanced and exciting groups.

Of course, the most intense matches started from the quarterfinals. The team (Pszymek + zee) lost by just 6 points to (Puffy + Kellus). There was a tiebreaker for first place between (DuXR + Confused) and (WiLL + GB + Emery), a narrow 2-point gap between (Honz + Suzuki) and (DeiN + LENZER), and this was only the quarterfinals!

If you recall, the semifinals began with Chilliad maps. Sandking offroad were easier than in the second round, but the motorcycle part was not easy. That’s why I thought this round could favor teams that weren’t the group favorites—anything could happen on these maps. In the first semifinal, (Aroszparo + Mateoryt) lost to (DeiN + LENZER) by just 8 points. In the other semifinal, (DuXR + Confused) faced another tiebreaker, this time fighting (morpp + Gandras) for a spot in the finals. I’m glad this happened in the second semifinal so many players got to watch your battle.

 

The Final Round In the finals, many spectators predicted (DeiN + LENZER) to win, but they ended up in fourth place. Happy birthday, Wenom   The fight for first place was incredible—(January + BTN) and (Honz + Suzuki) were 128 points before the final round. And here, I want to thank morpp—he finished second and prevented a draw! I really didn’t want a tiebreaker for the finals. Thanks dude! I want to thank all the participants who register and played in the tournament!

 

Huge respect to the players who knew they couldn’t beat the strong favorites but still showed up and gave it them all. With this tournament, I didn't just want to entertain the spectators watching the fails on Chiliad maps—I also wanted to see how active the community could be.

I hope many of you had fun and enjoyed yourselves. See you later, guys!
