Season 7 Champions 2t Elimination Rounds Fµ©k Everybody (2-0) vs Fµ©k Everybody Quake-n-Bake vs 2 Tough 2 Tough (2-1) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- September 15, 2020 :

Tonight featured the Elimination Round 2 match-up between 2t and <FE>.



<FE> wasted no time getting to work on its map pick. They maintained quad, kept a solid D and never took the foot off the gas; cruising to an 8-0 win in game 1.



2t was looking good early on in game 2, but eventually lost some key techs while trying to maintain quad. It was all <FE> after that. FE takes the series 2-0 with another 8-cap victory



<FE> certainly made it clear that they're coming for vA. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- September 9, 2020 :

QnB simply collapsed after getting a commanding lead on the first map. Tech control eventually shifted to 2t who mounted an impressive comeback to win game 1 by a score of 8-6.



Each team was able to get a cap early in game 2 and it was a flag stand-off after that. QnB out-fragged 2t to take the game on points and tie up the series 1-1.



In game 3, QnB got out-worked by a more experienced and hungrier team. 2t ends the season for QnB with the 4-0 win and move on to face <FE> in the Elimination Round 2 for a chance to play vA in the finals. Good luck to the remaining players. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- September 1, 2020 :

Round 2 was certainly not devoid of any drama. We had a rage-quit in game 1 <FE> nearly returned the mercy they got from vA earlier in the season.



Game 2 was a tight match-up with vA holding it down on their map pick to take the 2-1 W and tie the series.



In the final frame, vA had all the momentum going their way up 2-0 in the first 3 minutes. The game was stopped shortly thereafter and restarted due to a lagged out vA player, but their 2-0 lead carried over. Despite an impressive effort, <FE> couldn't complete the comeback, falling short 5-4. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- August 26, 2020 :

What a crazy game 1 for {QnB}. They let <FE> get the first quick cap, focusing instead on tech control grabbing both regen and resist and never letting them go. An impressive EFC kill ties it up and QnB is on the right side of points by the end.



Unfortunately, that momentum couldn't last as they fall 2-5 on LMCTF16. <FE>'s third map choice proved too much of a shit show for {QnB} and they just couldn't overcome the onslaught with quad.



It's off to the Elimination Round for {QnB} as they look to stay alive. <FE> move on to face vA in Round 2. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- August 25, 2020 :

2t and vA met up tonight for their Round 1 Playoff Series.



Just as vA appeared to run away with a 5-3 lead on their map pick, 2t took control of the quad and came back to tie it up. However,, vA snuck in a couple more caps to take game 1.



Continuing with this momentum on 2t's map pick in game 2, vA takes the series from 2t with another close victory.



Still not out of it, 2t awaits their next opponents - the losers of the FE-v-QnB match-up, while vA moves on to play the winner of that series in the next round. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <FE> (#1) vs Winner: 1v4 {QnB} (#4) vs ________ vA (#2) vs vs Winner: 2v3 ________

Season 7 Champions 2t (#3) Elimination Rouds ________ vs ________ Loser 1v4 vs ________ Loser 2v3 - each round will feature a best-of-three game series to determine which team moves on



- the higher seeded team will have home-field advantage, meaning they get to choose

whether to play their map pick first, the team color and will always pick the tie-breaker map



- maps can only be selected from the 20 listed below that are designated for Playoff play



- teams must provide their opponents 3 map choices at least 24 hours before the scheduled

session - once a team's map pick is played it cannot pick that map again for the rest of the play-

-offs; however, if an opponent picks a map that your team wouldn't be able to pick,

that would be OK.



- each round each team can select one (1) veto map; a map that the opposing team is barred

from selecting during the series.

Earlier in the week, 2t and vA play their 2v2, with 2t taking it 5-2 on xmap28.



Tonight, the services of a few subs were required to wrap up the regular season for two of our teams. QnB started things off with an early lead on SM05 that slipped away from them - FE took another win 9-7.



vA and 2t play a tight game on LM44, but 2t managed to grab the W in the last few minutes. 2t then manage to keep FE to a 2-2 tie on LM16, but on points.



In the final match, QnB takes the 2v2 from FE 4-3 in a real close one. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- August 12, 2020 :

QnB came out strong on Samurai Castles vs. <FE> and looked like it just might pull another upset on the first place team this week. Unfortunately, for them, FE snuck another cap in the final minutes to tie it up; taking game from QnB on tie-breaker points.



Despite losing RoNiN to connection issues, QnB grabbed another sub, and with Punkass' help they took another W, besting vA 3-1 on LMCTF16.



2t, unable to field a proper team tonight will try to reschedule their games later this week. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- August 4, 2020 :

Oh how the mighty fall on any given Tuesday. vA mercy-ruled team FE with an impressive performance on SM17.



QnB gets its 1st full squad win of the season over 2t despite Seed losing his cable modem connection in the last 3 minutes.



2t play vA to a very close game on LM18, but eventually fall 2-3.



FE, thirsty for redemption, play an maintain a firm defensive presence and persistent offensive pressure throughout the game to take the final game of the night 3-0 over QnB. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- July 29, 2020 :

We got the remaining Week 6 games in tonight and all three were close one.



2t and FE had an intense battle finish up in a tie on caps, with FE edging out 2t on frags to grab the 2 points.



Another heartbreaker for QnB this season. They looked comfortable with the lead, but Slugsk!e ruined the fun with the cap in the dying seconds to steal a victory from QnB.



The night ended with FE and 2t's 2v2. Several standoffs, but in the end FE take it 2-1. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- July 22, 2020 :

Due to scheduling conflicts in Week 6, vA and QnB played their 2v2 this evening.



Things started out okay for QnB taking an early lead, but IO and Vereke's teamwork and comms eventually prevailed.



A fairly long stalemate eventually ended with IO and his damage rune returning the flag. After that he controlled the rest of the game, going on to score five unanswered caps, leading vA to a well deserved victory.



Good luck to the others in Week 6. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- July 21, 2020 :

Tonight, all four Week 5 games were played.



2t came out strong on LM22 vs. FE, but Silk rallied his troops can got things back on track to take the game 7-5. vA and QnB played a close back-n-forth game, but vA takes another one from QnB on points in the 3-3 tie-breaker.



A multiple-cap early lead was too much for QnB to overcome as they fall to 2t on LM39. FE shuts out vA 3-0 on the same map Next week, we got our second 2v2 / 4v4 match-ups. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- July 15, 2020 :

vA played both their games tonight, one against 2t and another vs. QnB. In a last minute conflict they needed an extra sub as both Jahmaii and BigDog couldn't make it.



On SMAP29 things didn't look too good for vA as 2t took the early lead, but vA kept its composure, regrouped and mounted an impressive comeback to take the first map 5-3.



{QnB} couldn't catch a break as one of their key players suddenly had tech issues on comms. The server crash at the 15 minute mark also didn't help, vA grabbed its second win of the night 4-2. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- July 14, 2020 :

Well, due to some miscommunications, we were only able to get two Week 4 games in tonight.



FE and 2t started things off on Break the Ice. While 2t put on a good show, they didn't have an answer for Zest and his six caps.



QnB looked like they were doing real well fragging FE, but it's caps that win games. Great close game that sees the frag count go to QnB, but FE takes this one 3-2.



We'll try to get vA's games in tomorrow night. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- July 09, 2020 :

The teams met up tonight to wrap up Week 3's 2v2 and 4v4s.



The first match literally came down to the last second. {QnB} couldn't hold on to the flag, being chased by 3 2t players, one with quad. A last second flag return with 2t's FC on the flagstand and 2t tie it up, but win on frags. Closest game yet this season.



FE proved too much for vA's duo as vA falls 10-2 on LMCTF47



We'll be back to our regular 6v6 match-ups next week. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- July 07, 2020 :

1st of two nights this week featuring 2v2 and 4v4s. Both games tonight end early with mercy rules.



{QnB} came out on a mission and they weren't ending the night without their first victory of the season. Strong performance by QnB vs. a confident 2t duo.



Zest put on a clinic controlling quad, regen and essentially the game. It was a tall order for vA made impossible with Zest's regen and quad control on that tight map. FE shuts out vA 8-0 in this one.



Back at it on Thursday, July 9th. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- July 1, 2020 :

Next Week (Week 3), we're mixing things up. Each team will be split up to form a 2v2 squad and a 4v4 squad.



After some discussion amongst the captains, it has been decided that each team's 2v2 squad will be made up of the Captain and the team's 5th round pick, and the 4v4 squad will be made up of the remaining players. No member of the 2v2 squad can also play in the 4v4 matches and vice-versa. Once set, the 2v2 and 4v4 squads must remain the same for games played in Week 3, 6 and 9.



With that in mind, here are each teams respective squads:



Fµ©k Everybody :

-- 2v2: Silk (c) and ORB

-- 4v4: ZestFullyClean , Alienkiller , Incubus , and aepod



Vereke's Angels :

-- 2v2: ImageOmega (c) and vereke

-- 4v4: Slugsk!e , EvilSlick , Jahmaii , and BigDog



2 Tough :

-- 2v2: uwantEm (c) and ytsejam

-- 4v4: WOPR , Punkass , m@xim , and beav



Quake-n-Bake :

-- 2v2: Seedless (c) and Hoodlum

-- 4v4: Lequen , RoNiN , Buzzkill , and Dankhuffer



Members of the team's 4v4 squad will be able to remain on the team's voice channels during the 2v2 matches (and vice-versa); however, when observing they will be required to observe only their team members using the console command "observe_blue" / "observe_red". -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- June 30, 2020 :

Lots of close games tonight. 2t and FE went first on Reunion with 2t coming out on top 5-3.



{QnB} came close several times, but just couldn't get through vA's FC support during the long stalemate. vA gets their 1st victory of the season with a 2-0 win.



FE was gifted a win on LM20 when vA's flag carrier, not realizing he had just grabbed quad, blew himself up in the last minute.



{QnB} let's a 3-1 lead slip away as 2t takes another victory 4-3. Good games! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- June 24, 2020 :

2t and {QnB} met again tonight to have a rematch on account of the improper substitution earlier in the week.



Unfortunately, Punkass wasn't available, so 2t took Alienkiller on loan from <FE>.



It was a tightly contested match as the teams exchanged caps for the most part. There was an extended stalemate in the second half that was put to an end with a savage quad (and perhaps damage) rail from 2t on {QnB}'s FC. Regen just couldn't withstand that shot.



Good game. Back at it again next week. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- June 22, 2020 :

Well, the night was not without its issues. <FE> kicked things off with an impressive performance on SMAP06; trailing early in the game only to come away with the victory 3-2.



After restarting the match due to a few server crashes, 2t took control and looked like they would mercy-rule vA, but the tides quickly turned and vA mounted an incredible comeback only to fall short in a 7-9 loss.



QnB was missing two players. Although they played with Yertle subbing, the match won't count and the teams will try to reschedule later this week if possible. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- June 18, 2020 :

We finished out the rest of the pre-season week tonight.



QnB continues to struggle to find their way this season falling to 2t on LMCTF 41.



<FE> without their captain and vA without Jahmaii play to a 1-1 tie, with vA taking the win on points.



2t play the next map with the same intensity. The offensive pressure was too much for vA who fall 3-8.



Three games on deck next week. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- June 17, 2020 :

Team <FE> and {QnB} kicked-off Season 7 tonight. Due to schedule conflicts coming in Week 1, they decided to meet up tonight to play their pre-season game (SMAP32) and their Week 1 game (SMAP26).



<FE> came out strong on the first map, scored quite a few caps in quick succession, before {QnB} was able to hold them to a long stand-off. But <FE> proved too much to handle.



Things didn't get much better as the onslaught continued on SMAP26. More games to come tomorrow. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- June 14, 2020 :

The captains' draft took place this evening and we now have our four teams all set for the Season. Check them out here .



Next week is the pre-season where teams can get to know one another and do a practice run on a couple maps. We play for keeps starting the week after.



I'll be reaching out to everyone in the next day or so to schedule our games.



Good luck to all teams. Let's make this a great Season. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- June 9, 2020 :

The Season 7 Captains' Draft has been scheduled for Sunday June 14, 2020, at 9pm EST .



The four designated captains will meet up on Discord and will run through the pick-order set out below to pick their respective teams for Season 07.



Once teams are set, I'll reach out to each team separately with our availability spreadsheet for the upcoming pre-season week so we can get this show started in due course. For now, if you have any questions, feel free to email me ( 4me2poop0n@gmail.com ) or hit me up on discord.

The Season 7 Schedule and maplist have been prepared. The Schedule is available here .



New to this season is the 2v2 and 4v4 matches during weeks 3, 6, and 9. Each team will choose who will represent them in their respective 2v2 and 4v4 squads; however, no member of the 2v2 squad can also be a member of their 4v4 squad. This should make things a little more interesting throughout the Season. Following the 18-game / 9 week regular season, we'll enter into a double-elimination playoffs. More on that as we get closer to the end of regular season play.



All registrants are encouraged to come out for the next Game of the Week Tues/Thurs Sessions, as this will be the last one before Silk, ImageOmega, uwantEm and Seedless pick their respective teams during the draft.



If all goes well, we could start the Season the week of June 15 , -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- June 6, 2020 :

It's been six long years since the last Season of the Beatdown. It's about time we do another. The Beatdown is a Q2 LMCTF draft-style league for committed fans looking for serious 5v5 / 4v4 competitive play. The league will consist of a 6-10 week regular season followed by a single elimination playoffs to determine the Season 7 champs.



League games will be scheduled for Tuesday and/or Thursday nights (10pm EST) . Captains can certainly work amongst themselves to re-schedule games if necessary; however, to set expectations for players and non-players alike, let's mark our Tuesdays/Thursdays in the calendar for the next few weeks :) Registration for Season 7 is now open . We need a minimum of 16 players to register .

(20-25 would be most ideal)



Please note : The success of the league depends on the commitment of its participants. If you're not certain you can make this general (weekly) commitment, or, if you're just not that into this type of formal competitive play, please don't sign-up; it wouldn't be fair to your teammates and the other participants.



However, if this is exactly what you were hoping for, then, please sign up by sending an email to Seedless at 4me2poop0n@gmail.com with the subject line "[BEATDOWN SEASON 7] - Count me in!" - or something to that effect.



The draft is will be scheduled soon after the close of registration with Season 7's games kicking off the following Tuesday or Thursday.



Please visit the Info page for further details on the league; otherwise, if you have any specific questions, feel free to email the commissioner: < 4me2poop0n@gmail.com >. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
