Hah, last year reddit made a big thread about preferring just patch notes over monthly updates. So I was like, You mean I get to work less ???? ez out. ;)

Only if you play a map that only has the Diabotical powerup, which spawns at 3 and 7 minutes in a regular 8 minute match, then every 4 minutes after that if the match is longer.

Official maps that only have the Diabotical powerup, on the FFA list: Alchemy, Ancient, Frozen Decay, Huracan, Hurt Locker, Icefall, Oxide.

That way to set teams with one player each is the way to do it.

The damage has been fixed now

Masterserver and matches

Last 2 Team tournaments are scheduled for payment in April.

2020 tourneys we did 1 month payments, 2021 tourneys we wanna do around 3 months

Lans prize money like Diabotical Factory, we send in advance, in case people wanna hand out winnings in cash. which apparently is what Russia enjoy doing

phys getting paid last. So once hes paid, then the TTS is wrapped up

Within that area you could have multiple spawns for team 5, spawns can also get the setting /forsel set %1 start true in order to only be used on the initial spawn, however I believe it will only work if all players are around when the match starts, not for people who join an ongoing match

If you wanted to create an FFA/Brawl/Warmup map with 1 player in each team you could assign spawns per team /forsel set %1 team 0 (1, 2, 3 and so on) with spawns for team 5 for example being in a different area which is closed off from the rest of the map, then if there's a player trigger in that area, the player that spawned there could interact with it and open doors/walls/teleporters around that area or in other areas that previously had teleporters to that area closed behind a door.

That issue should be fixed now.
