Greetings Everyone,
The Fall 2018 TAW@WAR is about to begin! Be ready to dominate 27 October (EU @ 20:00 CEST) (NA @ 8:00pm CST). This year we are fortunate enough to have two simultaneous TAW@WAR’s - 1 EU & 1 NA. That's right… you officially have no excuse to miss this event!
What is TAW@WAR? A TAW-Wide Tournament for members to participate and determine who is a gaming champion amongst all participating members! To insure no one has an advantage, the battlefield will be wiped clean as a non-TAW game will be selected; specifically a game that is F2P and PvP based. Along with bragging rights, the winner(s) also receive the coveted TAW-Wide Tournament Medal. This medal is exclusive as it is only awarded to two people or teams per 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.
This fall, the selected game is…Black Squad! Black Squad is a military first-person-shooter game using the Unreal Engine 3 to show realistic graphics and dynamic visuals. Absolutely no Pay-to-Win. The event will be streamed on twitch.com/TAWTV. Teams are divided into a 5v5 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. The Team or Solog sign-up is NOW OPEN.
Practices may begin 1 October! Please do not start until then :)

Prepare for Battle!
“Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It brings out all that is best; it removes all that is base. All men are afraid in battle. The coward is the one who lets his fear overcome his sense of duty. Duty is the essence of manhood." - George S. Patton

Well, We all together with GFX Division Command decided that summer is the time where we could use a break from personal requests, members went on holidays, some worked more over summer and better than few members doing all work, we made the pause from personal requests.
Obviously, We can't close official request as TAW need us to keep on with all cool projects we get so we closed personal request which is on end requests that we have most.
Well, we keep on working :)
What we know now is that GFX will need new members that want to work and help TAW Troughout Operations.

Thank you for all your support!
Big thanks to GFX team without which this wouldn't be possible!

TSO and SOCOP are joining forces to create the very best August teamspeak event!
The TAW Pokemon league is now open on August 18th @ 9pm CEST/2pm CST. We are inviting all pokemon trainers to test their might and see who the best trainer in TAW is.
For the tournament we will be using Pokemon Showdown which is a free Pokemon battle simulator. The format for the tournament is a triple battle using non legendary pokemon from Kanto (see below for the full rules). It will be a single elimination tournament played on the server linked here.
Feel free to practice for the tournament anytime - servers are now open! Sign up for the tournament here and good luck to all the trainers out there.
One thing to note is that this is the official TAW server, but it is open to the public, so randoms will end join from time to time. Also, the server will only be open until the end of August. Depending on the interest level, we may keep the servers open; meaning anyone from TAW can play on the official pokemon showdown server here.
