Prochallenge #2: The Start!

By Ovidiu Dumitru·


Hello community!

IT HAS BEGUN! It's finally here! The 2nd edition of the popular XJ Pro-Challenge #1 from approximately 8 years ago!

With names like Supa, brian, Flibo, zhady, faker, omilo, chrizZo, heL^_x, thopa and many others, the event was a tremendous success, having the best of the best compete in some fierce battles!

Let's do that once again, but this time with players from nowadays, in a competition which will probably define the best player that 1.6 KZ had to give.

What is Prochallenge #2:
An offline (with the FINAL being LIVE-STREAMED) event where EVERYONE can be participate, showing their skills in an ultimate battle for the top, throughout a 7 months journey.

How it works:
At the beginning of each month, one map will be presented and released for public downloading and from that moment each and everyone of you will have exactly 1 month at their disposal to record their best time and send in the demo before the end of that month. (you will use Submit Demos function like any other demo submission)

The points distribution will be based on each time, the fastest receiving 10 points, gradually decreasing to 9 points, 8 points, 7 points, 6 points, 5 points, 4 points, 3 points and 2 points, depending on the times of the best 9 runs. The rest of the runs that won't qualify for the Top9 will receive 1 Propoint for participation.

At the end of 3rd round, the first 3 players with the most points (as summed from every round) will enter the FINAL MAP.

Schedule:
1st Round
February: 01.02.2016 - 29.02.2016
prochallenge2_speed - by Kic (winner of $50 prize sponsored by Coppenst)


Special thanks to KZ-PICTURES for providing us these awesome trailers for each map!

As you can see, we have prepared a little surprise for you all by adding 4 additional maps to the schedule, one for each round and one final map which will include all jumping disciplines.

Notes: The exact date for the FINALS may change depending on when all finalists will be available, since most of us have plans for summer break, mostly during August.

A special page for this event will be created later on for a better overview of the entire tournament.

And this event wouldn't be complete without a Moviemaking Contest which will take place after the finals.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN![/slide]

Great news. I hope this event will be one of the greatest in XJ history. And thank you for the great promo trailer. I enjoyed it very much, although it wasn't made with final version of the map.

01/02/2016 19:26:00

Well that's the version I received to edit to.

01/02/2016 19:33:00

No worries, we had to move fast with the promo clip to avoid delays and updated version came in later. I'm sure we all can appreciate both the upgrade and the clip.

01/02/2016 15:58:00

nice topic ;) imo 1 month per map is way too long.. should be 15days

01/02/2016 17:30:00

yup!

01/02/2016 17:42:00

i kind of agree, 1 month waiting is long. but from the other side if more players and a lot of them participate, worth waiting

01/02/2016 19:54:00

agree

01/02/2016 21:10:00

1 month ... COME ON

01/02/2016 19:09:00

btw why is longjump map here? its not kz skill map just for lj geeks

01/02/2016 19:20:00

nice, gl!

01/02/2016 19:38:00

Are you kidding me? This map is the winner? It looks just like other Kicius's maps. A same jumps, same textures, same details ... Try to be more creative. All your maps looks the same, except k_under. Well even there have copy-paste jumps, but at all the environment looks awesome. muJik's map should be the winner. His map have is so creative, with so many textures and details. Even the simple things looks great. Not like Kicius's map. I'm happy that i didn't started my map for this contest, cuz like i see again everything is rigged, even before start it. PEACE!

01/02/2016 19:53:00

Please extend the post :)

01/02/2016 20:11:00

Well, it's my wrong. I just saw Prochallnge #2, bla bla bla, and 1st round, bla bla bla. It's round, not place :D Even now, the way of evaluation still sucks .. But i was right for one thing. Everything in XJ is rigged!

01/02/2016 20:05:00

you clearly can't read in anger. just calm down and look through the news post again mate.

Good luck all, i am sooo sorry that i will miss the next rounds (esp. Spr1ns round) while i can record this ?.?

01/02/2016 21:57:00

02/02/2016 16:46:00

Good stuff!

02/02/2016 17:45:00

FINAL August: 14.08.2016

03/02/2016 09:04:00

Good stuff! If we could get some good players as good at these, it could be the news of the decade. Good luck admins and participants.

03/02/2016 11:57:00

I really like this initiative but I don't like the first map. It was named "speed" and you put purposely those two 256u shortcuts. It gives a big advantage for super hyper pro masters of cj or dcj. And now this map is about who is able to do it, not about who is the fastest. Go to hell kicius :(

Completely agree... But, most of ppl dont know that 256 does not quite match speed idea though... Some of us already have recorded few shortcuts like this in a run and know what it is like, some have not. Just be glad there is something like this happening around here.

04/02/2016 05:43:00

Good Job Kicius <3

04/02/2016 06:22:00

This is the kind of stuff we need here in XJ, good luck to everyone :D LETS GET GOIN!

04/02/2016 13:36:00

It is not even speedclimb...wtf

24/03/2016 19:06:00

+1 more like hard map to me instead of speed map

04/02/2016 18:53:00

one month is a bit too much in my opinion, kz level is not the same as in 2008, people need less time to master a map nowadays. i have a question about prochallenge2_longjump and prochallenge2_longjump_hard; what will be the difference between the too? one with 220 to 250 blocks and the other 250 to 270? (:

04/02/2016 19:54:00

@cahz0r, the hard version will be much more complex, featuring all LJ disciplines (bhop jump, weird jump, ladder jump, etc.)
