G’day Forts Fans! We’re back with a new tournament announcement, but first we’d like to bring your attention to the recent map making tournament that took place this past weekend.
Map Making Tournament
One of our biggest supporters Cronkhinator from the Official German FORTS Discord, along with help from 42 Scientist organised the very first Forts Map Making Tournament. The winner was M4r0x with his map MMT1F M4r0x (for which he will receive an in-game medal seen below in recognition), with SamsterBirdies coming in as the runner up.
Huge congrats to everyone involved for branching the Forts Tournaments into an interesting and exciting new direction. You can watch the chilled out tournament from two perspectives, via Smash Gaming (Frazzz) and Project Incursus streams…
