Another week and another load of community events have passed us by. It has been a busy time for us this past week; we launched a new Warhawk competition, our second Time Trial Challenge finished with some impressive results and the quarter finals of our ModNation Racers tournament have begun. Not to mention all of your TSA Meets we have been playing in.
Our ModNation Racers 1v1 tournament had a successful start this week as we reached the quarter final phase of the competition. After a very competitive first round 8 members progressed and are now just 2 games away from a place in the final and a shot at that £20 PSN voucher. Quarter finalists have until 11PM on Wednesday the 22nd of September to submit the results of their tie to Teflon, please organise your match as soon as possible so that any problems can be dealt with quickly.
While our MNR competition is enjoying a successful return, a new event made its debut this week. Warhawk may be an old game now but the TSA community still keeps it close to its heart and we couldn’t resist giving it some love. Unfortunately connection issues threatened to spoil the party but 9 of the 12 registered players did manage to compete for the grand prize of a £10 Amazon voucher. Once the battle was finished it was gordon_strange who walked away the victor, congratulations to him and a thank you to the other players who signed up.
The second event in our Time Trial Challenge series also concluded earlier this week. Wipeout HD was the game chosen to host this competition and we saw some unbelievably quick entries come in. JamboGT was the winner with a brilliantly quick time of 0.28.15, just 0.00.11 quicker than previous challenge winner CrazyFrog23. Congratulations to JamboGT, make sure you keep your eyes peeled for more of these challenges in the future.
Taking a look at TSA Meets for this week now. Today we have two Battlefield Bad Company 2 meets, the first at midday is for fun while the one at 7PM is to help earn some of the online trophies. Also at 6PM tonight is a ModNation Racers meet. This one is also to help with trophies but participants in our 1v1 tournament should also try and make it along, a little practice can’t hurt.
On Sunday we have two meets taking place; Burnout Paradise and another ModNation meet. First up at 2PM is Burnout and it is fully booked at the moment. You should still stick your name down however, just in case a space opens up. At 8PM we have the second MNR meet of the week. This is unfortunately not fully book, yet, and is just for fun. Also if you bring along one of your created tracks the guys will organise a quick spin around it.
Then on Monday night we have the return of the famous Killzone 2 Boot Camps. The action kicks off at 7PM and you need to be there, regardless of skill level. It feels like its been a long time since we’ve graced Helghan with our presence so make sure you take this opportunity to play alongside our clan. Moving on to Thursday we have an Uncharted 2 meet at 7PM, apparently attending this meet will come in handy in the near future. Read into that what you will.
That’s a look at what’s happened this week and also what’s coming up over the next seven days. Make sure you sign up for one of the events this week, there is nothing better than seeing a fully booked TSA Meet. Enjoy your weeks gaming everyone.

im guessing theres some sort of private match function?
teflon

It’s soooooo cool that TSA gamers are getting to show their skills! Shame you haven’t found a spot which suits me just yet. lol
SpikeyMikey23
slightly off topic, but has the kingdom hearts swag winner been picked yet?
aerobes
Drat! I forgot about that! I saw it in Asda this morning and thought I’d like it too!
SpikeyMikey23
was it cheap in asda?
aerobes
Apologies but I don’t actually recall. It was certainly below £30 so that’s a win for a start!

Dont forget the TSA Steam group starting up on the forums! (please dont shout at me…)

A busy community indeed. Regarding the Burnout meetup, I did set it up for 8 players as we don’t usually get any more than that, but if more people want to sign up we can easily create 2 lobbies, it isn’t a problem.

Real shame there are no online modes on any of the games on sports champions, would be really good fun to have 1v1 tournaments on there.

Well today’s MNR meet was a bust as the servers are down at the moment. Hopefully be sorted for tomorrow.
I am gonna get KZ2 on monday (as practice for KZ3) so I may join in on a boot in the near future.

Put my name down for the Burnout meet but then i remembered that United are playing Liverpool so im unable to attend. For the UC2 and KZ2 meets is any DLC required?
Colinbarr66
DLC is not needed for Killzone, not sure about UC2.
Ryan1991
No DLC needed for UC2 either.
Rocket_345
