    Marketplace goes 20 for 2

     

    If you've been paying attention to the Blog Posts during the last year, yo will have noticed we no longer just mention the "Shop Specific" promotions.  Why would we?  The Marketplace is a whole other sales ares for us.  It allows the members to go to spreadshirt NA or spreadshirt EU, and start from the ground up on creating your TAW Swag. 

     

    The products we put in the TAW Shop are base designs that allow you to customize and edit the products so they become more personalized.  We just give you a base look, so you have an idea of how it would look.  The Marketplace is just an extension of that.

     

    Now, our supplier Spreadshirt, has a new promo for us.....

     

    PROMO: 20% off when buying 2 or more products

    WHEN: January 30 - February 4

    PROMO CODE: LOVE18

     

    This is a perfect time to get yourself that Division Wear or TAW Love shirt you've been eyeing.  Nah, you deserve it, get em both!!!  It is 20% off when buying 2 or more products anyways.

    Love Is In The Air TAW

     

    Ah Valentine's Day.  The day that we annually celebrate our love for our significant other (in addition to an anniversary ofc).  The day where that little sadistic cherub Cupid pulls out his bow and arrow, taking aim....shooting people in the heart so they fall in love.

     

     

    But one love we all have, is for our community called TAW.  Where that little tubby cherub has stuck us all.  We all love this community, and in the season of love, under the categories of "Special T-Shirt" and "Special Hoodies" for NA and "Special T-Shirts" for EU, we at TAW Shop are happy to present to you our Valentine's Day Line Up.  The Valentine's Day designs show that TAW is alive in all our hearts.

     

    So show some love, buy yourself or your loved one a Valentine's Day shirt or Hoodie.  

     

     

     

     

    *Like all Shop Products, you can change the product and color of the item the designs sit on.

    TAW@WAR IX - Teams & Bracket announced

    Hi All! 

     

    TAW@WAR IX sign-ups are closed now, and I want to thank everyone that signed up for participating, first of all!

    We have chosen Paragon to be our featured game, however at the time we made this decision, the publishers hadn't announced that the game was going to be shut down. I Appreciate that this might not be everyone's favourite genre, but fear not! Our next tournament will be based on a different genre. 

     

    The tournament will start at 19:00 GMT / 14:00 EST (See event on front page of the website for your timezone). We will try to stream every game on https://www.twitch.tv/tawtv 

     

    We have created a couple of channels for the occasion, which can be found under "[SOCOP] Events": 

    - The streaming office is for broadcasters & invited participants (post game) only.

    - "Game 1" & "Game 2" are for participants only, schedule can be found further down this post. 

    - Viewers that wish to gather up for the event may gather in the "SOCOP Events" channel

     

    Rules & Reminders

    • There will be single elimination matches in a bracket style; which means the team that wins best 2 out of 3 will move on to the next round. 
    • Participants must be ready 10min before their game starts, situated in the indicated channel
    • 1 Sign Up Per Member; For team sign-up - only 1 member of your team should sign up.
    • You have until the 10 February to practice and unlock heroes, however PREMIUM items or upgrades are not permitted during the tournament.
    • If you cannot attend and have signed up please let SOCOP staff know, as soon as possible.
    • If you are signed up as a group, and come time to play, one of your members have failed to show up, it is your responsibility to find a proper replacement, or your team will be disqualified.
    • Games are to be recorded or streamed with a member of SOCOP or a TFO as referee's.
    • Code of Ethics are to be reflected at all times when playing

     

    Tournament Schedule


    Game Channel           GMT            EST
    Round 1 T4 vs. T5 Game 1 19:00 14:00
    SemiFinals T2 vs. T3 Game 2 19:45 14:45
    SemiFinals T1 vs. Winner R1 Game 1 20:30 15:30
    Bronze Bronze Match Game 2 21:15 16:15
    Finals Finals (Best of 3) Game 1 22:00 17:00

     


    Tournament IX Bracket

     

     

    ** Note: Apologies to those placed in Round 1, unfortunately this was the only way we could arrange this with 5 teams. On the other hand, you get to potentially appear on stream more often <3

     

    Roster


     

     

    Prizes


    Every participant be awarded with a special tab designed by Arianni [SOCOP DC] & Abnormalskillz
    [GFX DC] (with love <3 ). The winning team will get a special "champion" tab instead. 

     

         

     

     

     

    Along with bragging rights, the winners will also receive the coveted TAW-Wide Tournament Medal. This medal is exclusive as it is only awarded to two people or teams a YEAR. The Commander in Chief of TAW will present the medal to you directly, accompanied with the 5-star line shared with all other CIC awarded medals.

     

    Another thing that makes this medal special is the cup and laurel wreath; two symbols of champions used throughout history. The laurel wreath was commonly awarded to victors of battlefields and games. Woven from plant materials taken from the fighting grounds, the grass crown was the highest military honor in the Roman Army. The cup is still a common award, even in modern times.

     

     

     

     

    Hereby, I want to personally wish everyone participating good luck and a lot of fun!

    2018 Kicking Off Strong In TAW Shop

     

    TAW Shop would like to start by welcoming everyone to 2018.  2017 was a huge change for the Shop: New staff, Division Wear, Corps Wear, the ability to customize your TAW Swag, and Meme's galore.

     

    But now we enter 2018.  A New year with new challenges and even better promos.

     

    PROMO: 18% off in Market Place (you'll have to go to Spreadshirt and search for TAW to find most of our logos)

    DATES: Jan 2 -7

    PROMO CODE: HAPPY18

     

    But wait, there's more....

     

    If you purchase from the Marketplace, send a screen shot confirming your order to either Shop DC or DO and we will issue you a TAW Swagster TAB.
