5. BATTLE FOR THE MASTERY OF OTANIEMI ON 4TH OF OCTOBER
Aalto-Liike will organise a battle for the mastery of Otaniemi on 4 Oct 2012. At the forefront of Otaniemi, you will fight in a laser battle, the concept familiar from Megazone. The tournament consists of 16 teams with ten players per team. The game mode is open for now, but most likely we will play Capture the Flag game with some modifications.
The weapons use infrared laser in order to function, so you do not have to worry about protection. We have 40 weapons of which 20 are constantly in use. The event lasts for about 8 hours, and a single fight lasts about half an hour. Each fight is a qualification game. The participation fee is €100/team or €10 per participant. Payment instructions will follow later with the game programme and other useful stuff. Registrations will be accepted in the order of registration. Registration is binding and you can sign up your team with an e-mail with your contact information to oliver.heinonen@ayy.fi.
