MOBA Clash — 5v5

Draft in 20 seconds per pick, mirrored device profiles, no macro scripts. Objectives pulse every 90s to force decisions; tiebreakers favor team damage share over pure KDA padding.

  • Best-of-1 sprints in city cups, BO3 from regionals.
  • Lane swaps allowed; jungle invades score bonus vision points.

BR Sprint — Solo/Trio

Tiny map, tight circles, two redeploys. Clean mechanics matter: recoil control, gyro finesse, and snap positioning are king.

  • Aggression points for initiations, not only eliminations.
  • Safehouse crates: risk-reward gambits for late-game spikes.

Playlist updates every Monday 10:00 CET. City captains vote on one weekly wildcard. Vetoes require majority and are logged for transparency.

Fair Play Lab — Competitive Integrity First

Low-latency windows, mirrored sensitivity curves, and device checks keep the field level. We publish audits after each phase so every city can trust the climb.

Mirrored Profiles

Core parameters (sensitivity, acceleration, FOV, frame caps) are normalized per device class. Your muscle memory carries across brands without hidden advantages.

Live Officiating

Trained refs watch telemetry streams: unusual tap clusters, abnormal gyro patterns, or packet spikes trigger an instant pause and impartial review.

Latency window graph with acceptable thresholds highlighted

Latency Windows

Matches only proceed during fair-play windows measured per region. If variance breaches thresholds, games are rescheduled—no one advances on bad net.

City Heatmap — Who’s Heating Up?

Live momentum shows where the continent surges. A spike means back-to-back wins, captain calls on point, and crowd noise peaking. These badges update between cups.

Momentum Windows

Cities pulse when three series win within ninety minutes. Bonus seeds are small yet meaningful—just enough to reward streaks without snowballing.

Crowd Signal

Venue beacons measure synchronized crowd roars. If a callout aligns with a spike, the moment is archived into the city’s highlight reel for the season awards.

Skyline Skins

Top cities unlock skyline overlays—purely cosmetic but dangerously stylish. They rotate weekly to keep the visual meta fresh and fair.

Power Hour — Double Points, Double Nerves

Every evening a sixty-minute surge boosts ranked wins. The ticker announces the next wave; squads stack micro-goals and hunt for decisive skirmishes before the window shuts.

Countdown that matters

Countdown Sync

The app syncs micro-goals per role. Jungle invades, lane swaps, retake success— everything that usually hides under the scoreboard gets visible, live.

Sprint Lobbies

During the surge, lobbies compress downtime. Bo1, sharp map pools, no filler. The system prioritizes city vs city when possible for narrative spice.

Broadcast Flair

Overlays react to chants and spikes. The louder the venue, the bolder the HUD. All cosmetics are fair and optional—skill stays at the core.

Squad Mechanics — Micro Meets Macro

The clash thrives when executions are clean and comms stay calm. We showcase three drills coaches swear by—quick to run on mobile, brutal on sloppy games.

Gyro Micro — 60s Burst

Short gyro bursts lock the reticle, thumbs handle the lateral snap. The drill forces discipline: tiny corrections first, heroic flicks second.

Tactical board with route markers and comms notes

Callsheet Minimalism

Replace noisy callouts with three verbs and one noun. Less radio, more meaning: Ping, Collapse, Reset beats paragraph comms every time.

Thumb Duels

Micro 1v1 skirmishes wedge into downtime between rounds. Fast, respectful, and absurdly addictive—perfect for warming up before city cups.

Player Field Notes — Stories from the Circuit

Thumb bruises, last-tick clutches, silent resets—our diary mosaic threads together the human side of the climb. Tap the bubbles; they float and shimmer like backstage neon.

Players with a mobile coach discussing strategy
“Minimal calls, sharper plays.”

Between maps we cut the comms to four words. Ping, collapse, reset, breathe. It sounds small, but it salvaged two overtime nightmares in Warsaw.

The AR beacon hid inside a tram shelter. Unlocking it gave us the “Metroline” badge—purely cosmetic, but the fans went feral.

Power bank failed and airplane mode saved the day. Thirty seconds of perfect gyro and a retake that still trends in the city feed.

Quiet Rooms

We test micro drills in rooms with white noise generators. The idea is simple: pressure without distraction, muscle memory under a soft storm.

Crowd Sync

When the chant matches our spike window, overlays pulse stronger. You don’t win from flair—but it feels like the city is on comms with you.

Qualifier Path — From Queue to Crown

A simple ribbon, three gates, zero shortcuts. Scroll the track or use the arrows. Stages glow as you reach them on the page.

Stage 3 — Neon LAN Finale

Mixed-mode gauntlet under a skyline stage. Captains draft the playlist, broadcasts pulse with crowd sync, and one city lifts the crown.

Broadcast Hub — Signal, Style, Story

We design overlays that respect clarity first: legible map pings, calm killfeed, and subtle crowd-reactive flares. No clutter, just narrative fuel.

Calm Killfeed

Names scale with impact score; assists stay visible without drowning the map. Spectators read the fight tempo in a single glance.

Signal over Noise

Icons reduce to two weights and one highlight color. The result: instant recognition on small screens and clean VOD chapters.

Chant-Reactive Flair

Ambient bars respond to venue mics and approved apps. It’s flavor, not force— competitive integrity stays untouched while the story pops.

Draft Theater — Pick/Ban Matrix

Captains race through 20-second picks with mirrored device profiles. This sandbox shows how our matrix emphasizes clarity: roles in columns, priorities in rows, and quick toggles for practice. It’s visual discipline before the clash.

The matrix is a practice toy: toggles glow when selected, and danger chips simulate bans. During official matches, choices lock server-side with latency-guard windows.

AR Street Quests — City Lore You Can Touch

Optional side quests hide along tram stops, plazas, and riverbanks. Scan beacons to unlock lore badges and cosmetic auras. The map strip previews a typical route at dusk.

Waypoints light up as you approach; the phone hums softly and the HUD paints a thin cyan line along the pavement stones.

Scan & Unlock

Each scan awards a lore shard. Collect five for a city badge that decorates your scoreboard nameplate—flair only, no power.

Night Drift

After 20:00, quests shift to quieter alleys. Ambient music fades in; the neon HUD cools the palette for that late-evening calm.

Quests never gatekeep progress; they are stories, not shortcuts.

Prize Pool & Badges — Earned, Not Given

We split rewards between raw placement and narrative highlights: best comeback, cleanest retake, and city spirit. Badges travel with you all season.

Season Badges

“Momentum Spark”, “Silent Reset”, and “Last-Tick Clutch” are fan favorites. They’re cosmetic, but their stories are loud.

Transparent Payouts

Payout tables publish the moment brackets lock. Audits follow each phase and are mirrored on city dashboards. Clean books, clean games.

Qualifiers Hub — Your City, Your Route

Step in with clean device profiles and a calm comms plan. The stepper below walks you from app setup to your first city cup. It’s short, strict, and tuned for mobile pace.

    Load mirrored sensitivity and frame caps. Gyro on or off — just be consistent across scrims. The system locks your profile once a match is found.

  2. Choose the City

    You play for the city you select here. Transfers are limited and recorded on leaderboards to keep narratives coherent.

  3. Queue for City Cup

  4. Protect the Seed

    Momentum without snowball: transfer tokens let you reroute brackets, but audits keep the climb fair.

  5. Advance to Regionals

    From here it’s BO3. Device checks, latency windows, and captain veto logs — transparent and strict.
