Greetings, Xtreme-Jumpers,
The next big tournament is just around the corner and we are incredibly excited to share it with all of you.

What is Momentum Mod?
Momentum Mod is "a free first-person racing-platformer built on the Source engine". It brings together several popular movement-based gamemodes that originated in games like Counter-Strike, Quake, Team Fortress, and Half-Life.
Among these gamemodes, KZ is also represented, as both CS 1.6 KZ and KZT (KZTimer, the most popular CS:GO KZ version) have been added. The project has been in development since 2016, and discussions about implementing KZ have existed since 2017. On October 3rd, 2025, the game opened its doors to public playtesting, meaning anyone who wishes to play can do so by downloading the game from here. Make sure to request access, and you will be able to play immediately.
The game offers 12 different movement gamemodes from the aforementioned games, and each one has global leaderboards on every single map. Furthermore, you are able to view and race against the replay of any player, regardless of their position on the leaderboard. But perhaps the most alluring aspect of the game lies in the fact that it solves multiplayer ping issues. Every player can play with anyone else as long as they are in the same lobby from their own LAN.
In case you have not tried it already, give it a shot. If you wish to know more about the game, make sure to visit the official website: https://momentum-mod.org/

The first invitational KZ tournament in history:
This tournament is one of a kind because it achieves several firsts:
- For the first time in history, Kreedz.com is helping organize both a 1.6 KZ and a KZT tournament in collaboration with KZComp.com, an official tournament organizer partner that usually hosts CS2 and CS:GO KZ tournaments, as well as the Momentum Mod team.
- It is not only the first KZ tournament in Momentum Mod, but also the first tournament across any of the 12 currently available game modes.
- It will be the first invitational tournament, featuring closed invites and focusing on the most popular players, since its purpose is also to promote the game to the existing 1.6 and CS:GO KZ player base, as well as to the broader Momentum Mod audience.
