Introduction

Three weeks ago, our brave thirty-two Americans embarked on a journey. What was the purpose of their quest? Was it to test the pulse of the arena FPS scene? Was it prove defiantly to the masses that we aren't just seventeen players playing against fifteen bots? Regardless of their motives their Foolish Legacy will not forgotten. The group stages have concluded and here are the results of their efforts. The top two players in groups advance to Division I playoffs and the bottom two players in groups proceed to Division II playoffs.

Playoffs begin now, Monday, April 2 2018 and end on Sunday, April 15 2018. Without further ado, I humbly announce our sixteen players in the Division I playoffs and our ten players in the Division II playoffs.

We also gathered some Fun Statistics from the group stages. We hope you enjoy them.

Thank You
  • notorious for uploading every demo to YouTube of every match. Over 90+ matches uploaded from Group Stages at a high quality and always very timely. Thank you very much for keeping the history of this tournament archived.
  • Lunokhod-2 for inspiring me with your Russian ProMode Championship 2018 (a CPM duel league for Russians only) to create an Americas only league.
  • xero for proposing in February to go-ahead and make this into a reality. This would not have started if not for you. Thank you for too many things really to list in one place, I would not be exaggerating to say that this would be a colossal failure if not for you.
  • cuppajoeman for making the awesome promotional event poster/header image that is being used for the event I think he did a pretty awesome job.
  • send for working on a promotional movie with me ~2 hours and gathering the required demos for the promotional CPM movie. Unfortunately, the movie maker was unable to deliver but I enjoyed working with you on it and I really appreciate your time.
  • freddiaN for streaming the randomization of group stages and dividing our 32 players into 8 groups, I think they for the most part came out quite splendidly.
  • DEZ for telling me to make a Division 2 playoff for the players who don't advance and for telling me to add a prize to this as well.
  • ArcticRevrus, Chains, KittenIgnition, kumo, venim, and vixterra for adding the maps in the map pool to their servers.
  • Leshaka and xero for streaming some of the group stage matches.
  • Most important of all, everyone who participated in group stages and played their matches, as long as we have players and they coalesce on CPM servers - CPM will never die.
  • And let's not forget myT for good measure for restoring the active development of Challenge ProMode Arena.
