Travel suppression and heal decay. These are also both off in PVP zones so these 2 rules will be the same if you're used to that.

Thanks to all participants, people who stuck around to observe, and congratulations to Chris and Dak on their flawless upper bracket run, not dropping a single death! And thank you to Wombo and Fire Wire for funding the prize pool and Hot for the addition to 1st prize. Final bracket.

 

Great job to the costume contest winners Reib, Riq, Hot Dogger, and Justin and to the FFA winners Silit and Silent (sudden death honorable mention Alouu).
