Psychout wrote:Firstly, congratulations again to Symbiote Spiderman 14 of the Decepticons for being the first ever ICL: Smelting Pool League Champion! His reward will be the alt of his choice for the next round.

Can he retain his crown in round 2, or will the spider fall to a challenger? Only time will tell...

...and that time is now - here are the budgets for Round 2!
25,000,000 XP and your level is 7.
Everything else - weapons, armour tactics etc. is all up to you and there are no restrictions.
As always, there is to be no resetting once the start date has been passed.

Sign-ups for around 2 are now open and take the same format as round 1; calculate your config and PM the form in the post below to 'The Huntmasters'

The closing date for applications is 3rd July (thats a whole week!) and the game is planned to start on the 6th.

Also, as an advanced notice, scoring will be simplified - all you will need to do is list your wins and shut-outs this time and we will do the rest.


Anybody of any level can join the game, even if you weren't in round 1, but if you do have an existing SPL character you must re-submit that one, you are not allowed more than 1 league minion.

So, get your 25 mil L7 XP configs planned guys...


As a closing note, please send configs only to The Huntmasters, If you have any questions please post them below or PM them to Burn or I directly.

Cool set up, Same issue as EP really, Have you considered putting your filler points into avoid? you don't have to max it out, but it might let you dodge a critical attack and make all the difference between victory and defeat

don't worry, last tournament I was approaching 5-40 win loss ratio.

Is there another less expensive stat you could upgrade - eg rank (if you can afford a new set of armor) or Skill/Firepower to get a better weapon, endurance is also a good option, if you have a secondary tactic, consider upgrading that - could make all the difference.
