Champions of the Era: Difference between revisions

'''Champions of the Era''' (abbreviated as CotE) is a weekly {{game}} tournament series organized by [[Era]]. The series began in the Summer of 2018 and is still having new events today.

Like most weekly events, Champions of the Era runs double elimination brackets, regardless of entrant count. Players utilize Era's Discord server to communicate with their opponents as the brackets are ran on Challonge, a site that lacks player-to-player chat functions. Many of the early CotE events were streamed and commentated by Cedge. On occasion, there were also pre-event warm up lobbies ran by [[Rashiko]] and [[LiteraryFirearms]] of Casual ARMS. After some events, movie watch parties have also been held including one for ''Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse'' and another for ''Jurassic Park''.

Champions of the Era was not initially region locked, but in early 2020 it became locked to North American players only. This allowed CotE events to count toward the ''ARMS'' North American Power Ranking without having European or Japanese players interfere with North American players' results. Prior to Champions of the Era's region lock, in order to provide an event for the European players interested in a CotE like event, Era created [[Champions of the Erapean Union]] which was region locked to European players only. This event was ran at a much more reasonable time for European players to play at compared to traditional Champions of the Era tournaments. In Fall 2021, CotE became region-free once more and shifted to a slightly earlier time to better accommodate players from regions other than North America.

**This event was also streamed by Neru with Mungus as his co-commentator, who used VTuber avatars based on [[Mechanica]] and [[Min Min]] respectively.

*[[Frosty]] and [[LOSER]] have organized a couple of CotE events (#64 and #73) for Era under circumstances in which she was too busy to do so.
