Thanks to longtime community members and Vankrupt Games Devs, Pavlov got a booth at VRML's 2nd LIVE in-person event! Although they didn't get to play on the big stage, the players were treated to 3 new maps and a very cool set up in the McNichols Civic Center in Denver, CO.

Through the 2 days at the con the devs, Mr., Junt, MarkDey, and Fox, ran a 1v1 Pavlov Shack booth with 3 new maps made for 1v1 confrontations. There were 4 tournaments held with 12 to 16 player each. The format was best of 3 kills on 1 map with the final match being best of 3 maps. Players were provided with a Quest 3 to play on.

The winner of each tournament won $100, except the final tournament on the second day where the top 4 winners got prizes ($100 for 1st, $50 for 2nd, $25 for 3rd, and $25 for 4th) 

In addition, the devs were giving out Jared plushies, custom cups, and dogtags which give the player a special VRML AK skin (Shack only). Coupled with other goodies and HyperX gear giveaways, some players made out like bandits! Mr. caught the entirety with his gimbaled camera setup. We'll post the footage when it becomes available. 

 

These DEFCON players even got to catch a bit of the action on the Grand Stage! Here's to more VR Community and Pavlov in-person events!!

TIME TO MAKE A CHANGE!

Mod Q&A Session

Thank you all for a fantastic Season 13! As we conclude yet another exciting season and crown our season champions, it’s time to look ahead and engage with all of you to shape the future of the Pavlov VRML. And boy do we have a lot to offer this time around!  This year, in addition to the traditional Season Feedback Form, we are introducing a significant change.

Throughout the season, your feedback has been invaluable. Many voices, some louder than others, have highlighted the need for evolution in our approach. We have realized the importance of transitioning to a model that prioritizes our community’s unique needs and dynamics.

To facilitate this shift, we are excited to host our first ever Pavlov VRML Q/A Session on Sunday, June 23, 2024 2:00 PM. This session represents a important opportunity for everyone invested in the future of Pavlov VRML and competitive esports to voice their questions, suggestions, ideas and concerns. Your active participation will be crucial as we aim to foster a more community-focused approach, setting us apart from other VRML leagues.

You can have a look at what we intend to bring up at the VRML Q/A, and i really suggest if you really care for the future of the Pavlov Competitive Esports Scene, you give this a proper read and bring lots of questions and ideas for the Q/A Here

We encourage all players to join us for this session. All moderators will be present to document your input, ensuring that every question and suggestion is thoroughly addressed. We look forward to your participation and are excited to hear your insights as we pivot the league in a new direction together.

Feedback Form

We're looking for feedback from this season so we can ensure the next season is better and more to everyone's liking. We're looking for feedback on:

• The Champs format
• The division of the league into PS5/PC Only, the specifics and how it should (or shouldn't) be configured
• The map pool (and your thoughts on dave maps)

(... and a few other things) Don't see something there which should be? Please @ the league moderators and we'll make sure it's added. Please remember though, the quicker it's raised, the more people who will see it!

The championships are almost here! The challenger Cup is this weekend! Stay tuned for details.

In case you've been under a rock, Vankrupt Games just released a new update now available for SteamVR, Playstation VR2 and Meta Quest 2 & 3. It containes 2 new maps. SO HYPE! 

Please note that at this time, and for the remainder of the season, both teams must agree to play either map (Autumn/Canival). The decision is yours. This also applies to the championship games. If it cannot be agreed upon, then the maps may not be played.

So, how do bans work? Bans are not expended on the new maps, as such, bans operate as normal (as if the new maps didn't exist). Both teams may agree to play a new map, but are not obligated to play both if they don't want to. In summary, both teams should come to an agreement on the new maps, either in text or audible on the VOD, which, if any, of the two new maps they wish to play before any picks or bans happen. Again, this means one of them, both of them or neither.

Once both teams are clear on which maps can be played, picks and bans can start as usual. After that point, the last recorded (in text or in-VOD at the time of the match) agreement counts and the decision can't be changed. 

For more information about the new update, check out the Vankrupt Games YouTube Channel!

Teams have begun playing their 1st matches of the season! Is your squad ready?

IMPORTANT DATES!

Make sure you take note of these dates!

The season is 12 weeks of regular matches and 3 weeks of post-season tournaments to determine the Champions. Every week during the regular season, teams will get assigned 1 opponent and schedule to play a match within that week. An extra challenge match may be played with a team within your skill-level. New teams will not have a visible MMR score. They will need to play 3 matches to be placed on the ladder and perhaps a 4th or 5th to determine the color of their star. More information about the ranking system and the divisions can be found in the Rules and in Discord.

"Roster Lock" is the April 8th, as is the last day to challenge teams.  After this date, no roster changes or challenges may be made or the team will risk their qualification in the post-season tournaments.

Post-season starts April 27th. More information about these events will be made available soon!

A team may sign up at anytime during the season before the Roster Lock. Some restrictions may apply regarding the qualification of teams for the post-season events.

1. Mirage
