ENDGAME originally began as a series of traditional FPS games that went by the name of 'Direct Hit'. It produced several titles across different platforms, each with its own competitive community. Praised for its immersiveness and enjoyable gameplay, the series enjoyed continued success. Its VR releases were supposed to be the best yet... but reality proved different. The company managed to stay afloat, but DH was no longer the FPS. Competition in the genre had peaked, and other games now occupied what was once DH's throne. Tomorrow Games was a sinking ship unless they either combined with a bigger company, or found a different avenue.
No one was surprised when TG's founder chose the latter. He'd always been known as a rather unique voice in the space, his individuality as appreciated as much as it was criticized. When he proclaimed on Chunmi he would "not be selling out" (verbatim), everyone was expecting something big in the works. Teasers of the game's development showed clips of soldiers midfight, players taking off their helmets after attaining either loss or victory. It looked to be another war game. Some expressed disappointment; it was Tomorrow Game's forte, certainly, but they were expecting something fresher thanks to the founder's wild proclamations.
When ENDGAME was first unveiled in a stream, viewers only saw the in-game environment. The initial reactions were negative to say the least; there was a lot of flaming in the chatbox about how this was just a re-branded Direct Hit. But a few minutes into the stream, the graphics were turned off to reveal the map for what it really was: a giant arena where digital and physical combined to create the most immersive experience yet.
Most had reserved the AR realm for corporate, social and marketing space; Tomorrow Games was the first gaming company to invest in such a large scale. The news wasn't well-received by everyone, and there were legitimate concerns about safety and the like, but it weathered through. ENDGAME's start was rocky, but in two short years, it earned a spot as one of the world's most highly-anticipated competitive scenes. In only three more, it became the biggest gaming competition in the world. [/div] [div class="section" style="padding-bottom: 125px;"] [div class="heading"]*competitive scene[/div] Tomorrow Games is no stranger to competitive scenes, and ENDGAME proved no different. Its first year's tourney was on a small but successful scale, confined to the limited number of cities where ENDGAME had amassed a following. Finding traction in its victory, construction for more areas of play began everywhere. They kept expanding until they reached a point where even overseas, ENDGAME arenas could be found many major cities. Ten years since it was first launched, ENDGAME was a now a game in everyone's vernacular.
ENDGAME has a player and team ranking system which notifies players which competitions they are eligible for. While community-hosted tourneys are common and are a good way to get practice, they don't affect ranking. The only way to climb the ladder is to participate in TG-sponsored competitions, notifying its registered teams and players of any tourneys in their area.
Games and tourneys are listed with an indication of its rank. Much like the Direct Hit games of the past, ENDGAME eventually came to adopt a similar but simplified stratification system.
A few aspiring pros even carry their teams from zero to hero, turning it into their own brand, although there’s considerably a lot more difficulty involved in doing this nowadays. Most talented amateurs are scouted and recruited into lower division sister teams of existing brands that were founded during ENDGAME's formative years. [/div] [/div] [div class="scrollbox hidebox mechanicsbox"] [div class="section"] [div class="heading"]*players[/div] To participate in ENDGAME, one must be at least 16 years old. This is due to the inherent risks involved in participating. All players, upon signing up for the first time in an ENDGAME arena, are asked to sign an agreement that they understand that danger remains, however minimized. Once they've understood the terms and conditions, players can then sign-up onsite with their preferred handle and other relevant information, including their gameplay avatar's appearance. This data is stored and updated on ENDGAME's database, so player information remains updated even when changing arenas. [/div] [div class="section"] [div class="heading"]*equipment[/div] ENDGAME has a lot of equipment involved in its gameplay, but the two pieces a player absolutely needs are the bodysuit and the AR helmet. The bodysuit is rented out at the arena, hence why they recommend wearing form-fitting clothes underneath. Both serve a dual purpose: for protection and for gameplay. The bodysuit reads interactions between players and the environment. Take, for example, a gunshot at the leg. Upon detecting a leg wound, the suit stiffens and weighs down the area, mimicking the difficulty one would have moving with such an injury. The AR helmet, meanwhile, deals with how a player views their environment.
Both pieces have variations and equippable tools, which can be set from a user's account on the ENDGAME database. Since a good part of the game is AR, there's no need for a physical change to wildly variate how either behaves. [/div] [div class="section"] [div class="heading"]*arenas and gyms[/div] Most major cities have one or two large arenas at which to host the local ENDGAME tourney. These arenas span around five soccer fields, while also boasting multi-floored areas. Aside from those, there are smaller arenas, better known as "gyms", for practice and casual play. These are typically half or less the size of a standard arena, making for quicker games.
There are different kinds of terrain and situations that players are able to play in, heavily affecting the strategies of anyone participating. Things like time of the day and visibility-scale are part of it. These are randomly selected during the beginning of the match, forcing players to adapt. As for maps, ENDGAME's default four boasts a decent variety, with arenas and gyms often making ones specific to their area.
They also make seasonal maps for fun. To avoid the default maps from going stale and sections of it abused, a good part of the map is randomized each time it's generated and set-up. Amongst the 4, the city is least varied as it's always forced to pick from different areas around TG's head office. On the opposite side of the spectrum, the Forest and Plains maps are never the same. [/div] [div class="section" style="padding-bottom: 125px;"] [div class="heading"]*gamemodes[/div] ENDGAME is most famous for its 5v5 team death match wherein one group of players must eliminate the entire enemy team. These games typically last from 30 minutes to an hour, but have no real time limit. The 3v3 variation with its smaller map is a fairly popular choice as well. However, other modes exist, with arenas and gyms listing their schedules at least three days ahead of time.
It's fairly common for players to professionally play more than one game mode. Some even use the exact same team for both ENDGAME and FLAGSHIP. [/div] [/div] [div class="scrollbox hidebox rulesbox"] [div class="section"] [div class="heading"]*RESPECT[/div] My philosophy on GMing is fairly relaxed: respect me, I respect you. As a GM, I'm in a position of authority over participants of my roleplays. If I reject someone, there's a reason for it, and I'm willing to take a second look if they decide to listen to my criticisms. In that same vein, if my players decide to (politely) criticize me for a decision I made, I will take it into account with no hard feelings. I'm willing to listen to discussion and disagreement, but when I draw a line, I don't budge it.
Respect extends to beyond the roleplay sphere however. If a player has a history of things like theft or character plagiarism, remaining unapologetic about such things, I reject them. I don't tolerate bad behavior in my roleplays. [/div] [div class="section"] [div class="heading"]*LITERACY[/div] I don't care much for labels. As long as you can post a cohesive paragraph, then you're good. We all start somewhere, so if we offer feedback on your writing, it's because we want to help you grow. Occasional misspellings are understandable, we all have those days. But if you can't get your their/they're consistent, then I think you should brush up a bit more on English before trying out here. [/div] [div class="section"] [div class="heading"]*RESERVATIONS[/div] Are non-existent, unless you've been personally invited to this roleplay. Everyone goes through a screening process; you submit a character concept, and we'll see if it's up to standards. Failure to comply with this will mean automatic rejection. Unlike most roleplays, ENDGAME will be operating on a roleplayer cap rather than character cap. Feel free to create as many as you can handle once you've passed the application. Head over to the APP thread for more information. [/div] [div class="section" style="padding-bottom: 125px;"] [div class="heading"]*COMMITMENT[/div] Should you fail to speak with me within a month, you're booted from the roleplay, no exceptions. I don't mind long absences so long as you keep us updated on your current status. Likewise, should you no longer feel like participating, I want to be informed instead of leaving us with question marks. I take more offence at being dropped like a hot potato than being told directly that you no long feel like you can commit.

LOUDER was formed during the 4th season of ENDGAME, originally comprised of a bunch of random individuals who needed a team to join the higher level leagues. Said group was lead by Lucas Kent, who went on to become one of ENDGAME's legendary players when he reverse-swept a 1v5 situation during the finals. Despite the loss, their popularity soared as clips of the play continue to be referenced even today. They decided to continue the team beyond one season (their original agreement was only for the fourth season), eventually forming a brand organization by the same name. Two of the original members continue to play. Two others, one of whom is Lucas, have taken on more administrative roles. The last member left during the 7th season to found Galahad.
The team has often featured a pivotal center within their lineup. They excel in hit-and-run tactics, often making good use of tools and terrain. Despite their expansion, they retain their independent philosophy, refusing company sponsorships for the team as a whole. Individual player sponsorships, however, are alright with them. [/div] [div class="section"] [div class="heading"]*STYLE[/div] As mentioned, LOUDER excels in guerilla warfare-like tactics. They make use of the tools and terrain available to them. A lot of people have commented that for such an attention-grabbing name, their extensive use of stealth and traps feel quite opposite to the brand's image. Due to their playstyle, they excel in maps with a lot of cover, such as the city area and certain variations of the building map.
The general vibe of the team is very relaxed, with an urban street flair to their outfits. Unlike ZER0 and Galahad, none of them members have any matching clothing items. However, they look more cohesive as a team than Antiheroes due to their singular style family. [/div] [div class="section" style="padding-bottom: 125px;"] [div class="heading"]*TRAINING[/div] The team holds individuals accountable for their own training. While it does hold group practice sessions, majority of training is free form and at your own time and pace. If you don't pull your own weight, you'll get relegated to the bench.
LOUDER is one of the teams that spends quite a bit of time studying their opponent's playstyles, second only to ZER0. They're willing to make more adjustments to take advantage of enemy weaknesses. As a result, most of their members have a fair amount of proficiency and reliance in the various tools made available to players by the game. Rather than outright training, LOUDER is the team that figures out weird interactions in the game to take advantage of. Take for example, the 'extra 10' bug from season 8. LOUDER was the one who figured out certain bullet types had an extra 10px hitbox outside the range indicated by the game.

Gregers Lazarov was a member of the original LOUDER team until he eventually left due to a difference in opinion. He believed that company sponsorships could be used for the benefit of the team, whilst Lucas thought it was too close to selling out. Shortly after leaving of his own volition, he founded Galahad, recruiting players who'd found dissatisfaction in their current organizations. Other teams found it too close to poaching but remained silent; LOUDER, true to form, publicly called them out. Everyone watched with baited breath as the drama unfolded on Chunmi during the start of the 8th season.
Galahad is a disjointed team consisting of the most notable members of the competitive scene. These are either former star players of other teams, or simply players who have strong public appeal and large fanbases. It's rare to see a complete rookie amongst them. [/div] [div class="section"] [div class="heading"]*STYLE[/div] Galahad has a very individualistic approach to the game, with players typically moving on their own. Whereas LOUDER has some coordination involved in their strategy, Galahad is literally five different people doing their own thing. Teamwork isn't exactly their thing, but due to the skill of each individual player, they're able to win games. Divide-and-conquer is a strategy they lean heavily towards.
ENDGAME's following often refers to Galahad as the princes/princesses, whether they're being sarcastic or just an honest-to-goodness fan. Their uniforms remind people of Japanese prince/ss idol costumes, complete with differing color schemes. They were going for a more royal look, but considering the fact many of their players are widely considered to be good-looking, that's what ended up happening. [/div] [div class="section" style="padding-bottom: 125px;"] [div class="heading"]*TRAINING[/div] Galahad's training is even more relaxed than LOUDER's, if that's even possible. Due to the myriad of teams the members originated from, the organization can't agree on any one method that fits for everyone. As a result, most training is individual, with some group training sessions and frequent scrimmages against other teams.
While most teams keep most of their training secret, with a few scattered glimpses via monitored streams, Galahad tends to be open with theirs. This is mostly because there usually isn't much of a plan in the first place, with strategies created on the fly. Gameplay wise, if there's one thing to note about their players is that they're very adaptable. Despite their independent tendencies, most know how to cooperate if the situation calls for it.

ZER0 is considered one of the original teams that helped form the competitive scene of ENDGAME. Five of the top players of the time formed a team from the bottom up, going from open league to pro league. Three members continue to play. Two were forced to retire due to injuries, but only one left the scene completely to pursue other goals. The other one chose to stay and act as strategist and coach for others.
Amongst the teams, ZER0 is the one most alike to how actual military behaves. When on the field, they wait for their captain's orders before taking individual action. Their philosophy revolves around them as one unit. [/div] [div class="section"] [div class="heading"]*STYLE[/div] In contrast with LOUDER which has a very self-reliant style, ZER0 has a defined chain of command. Some call it rigid, but considering how the team sits at the top of the rankings, they had to be doing something right. Members of the team know that they're able to trust the others to have their back. Communication is key to ZER0.
Fitting with the team's militaristic vibe, the team wears the same base uniform with personal flairs in the form of color scheme and accessories. However, the colors members choose tend to be very muted and suited to camouflage such as blacks, greys and browns. [/div] [div class="section" style="padding-bottom: 125px;"] [div class="heading"]*TRAINING[/div] Members of ZER0 do everything together. From eating together to practicing as a team, they spend a good part of the day in close quarters. Everyone monitors each other's progress; feedback is given regardless of rank. The team trains its members to take these criticisms graciously. Another advantage of the team is their myriad of benched members. Unlike other teams, they're comfortable with switching between their main roster and reserves with no threat of disrupting the group's teamwork.
Like LOUDER, ZER0 researches their opponents on upcoming matches, exploiting weaknesses they find. There isn't any one map the team is good at. As an all-rounder, they tend to perform well in any terrain, thought admittedly they're rarely able to really maximize it for their use. Much of their training time is spent doing drills and recreating situations that they might find themselves in at some point in a game.

Antiheroes is one of the oldest teams in ENDGAME's competitive scene, having been a participant since the first season. Their founder, Eliza Pollux, is an iconic figure in ENDGAME's history. She lead her team to victory in the finals during the game's first two seasons, bouncing back from Lucas' match reverse-sweep in their best of five. After ten years in the business, the four of which was coach work, Eliza abrupt left the scene. Antiheroes is now struggling with their new leader as they try to find their new identity.
Eliza's philosophy on ENDGAME was very simple: "It's a game, have fun with it." She became friends with TG's founder and was pivotal to many of the quality of life changes in early patches of the game. Despite not making it out of groups since the second season, the game has a small but loyal fanbase primarily comprised of followers who'd been with them since season one. Others, however, have criticized the organization for not taking the game seriously enough. Whatever the case, people are curious to see what's Antiheroes without an Eliza. [/div] [div class="section"] [div class="heading"]*STYLE[/div] Like ZER0, they're an all-rounder that performs well enough in most maps and terrain. Unlike them however, Antiheroes is structured to be more democratic than leader-biased, which could mean for some very unexpected turns in their strategy. That's what often makes Antiheroes matches so interesting to watch. On the flipside, delays in communication and disagreements on what plan of action to take are oftentimes their downfall.
The only thing that makes Antiheroes cohesive is their lack of cohesion. Avatar outfits can range from military to casual wear, making for some interesting combinations when on the field. One of the most hilarious was during World's Groups stage, which occurs during October. The team dressed as various characters. One was Phoenix Wright from Ace Attorney, and beside him was Goku. [/div] [div class="section" style="padding-bottom: 125px;"] [div class="heading"]*TRAINING[/div] While ZER0 values teamwork above all else, Antiheroes values camaraderie. You could coordinate with someone you disliked on ZER0, but that simply doesn't work in a team like Antiheroes. While not everyone's best friends, people are amicable enough to each other and are close enough to call each other a casual friend. They often eat meals together, and in-house team versus team matches are a common occurence to get some practice in.
Training in the Antiheroes house is fairly well-rounded. There's a fitness regime, actual drills, and then the in-house battles, usually for a casual reward like who's paying for dinner that night. While their players are willing to work hard, they don't turn the game into their life like other teams. They take the time to enjoy ENDGAME and the process of getting good at it. Like Galahad, one of their strong points is the myriad of personalities in their roster. Someone was bound to make an interesting way to deal with an enemy's strength.

ENDGAME originally began as a series of traditional FPS games that went by the name of 'Direct Hit'. It produced several titles across different platforms, each with its own competitive community. Praised for its immersiveness and enjoyable gameplay, the series enjoyed continued success. Its VR releases were supposed to be the best yet... but reality proved different. The company managed to stay afloat, but DH was no longer the FPS. Competition in the genre had peaked, and other games now occupied what was once DH's throne. Tomorrow Games was a sinking ship unless they either combined with a bigger company, or found a different avenue.
No one was surprised when TG's founder chose the latter. He'd always been known as a rather unique voice in the space, his individuality as appreciated as much as it was criticized. When he proclaimed on Chunmi he would "not be selling out" (verbatim), everyone was expecting something big in the works. Teasers of the game's development showed clips of soldiers midfight, players taking off their helmets after attaining either loss or victory. It looked to be another war game. Some expressed disappointment; it was Tomorrow Game's forte, certainly, but they were expecting something fresher thanks to the founder's wild proclamations.
When ENDGAME was first unveiled in a stream, viewers only saw the in-game environment. The initial reactions were negative to say the least; there was a lot of flaming in the chatbox about how this was just a re-branded Direct Hit. But a few minutes into the stream, the graphics were turned off to reveal the map for what it really was: a giant arena where digital and physical combined to create the most immersive experience yet.
Most had reserved the AR realm for corporate, social and marketing space; Tomorrow Games was the first gaming company to invest in such a large scale. The news wasn't well-received by everyone, and there were legitimate concerns about safety and the like, but it weathered through. ENDGAME's start was rocky, but in two short years, it earned a spot as one of the world's most highly-anticipated competitive scenes. In only three more, it became the biggest gaming competition in the world. [/div] [div class="section" style="padding-bottom: 125px;"] [div class="heading"]*competitive scene[/div] Tomorrow Games is no stranger to competitive scenes, and ENDGAME proved no different. Its first year's tourney was on a small but successful scale, confined to the limited number of cities where ENDGAME had amassed a following. Finding traction in its victory, construction for more areas of play began everywhere. They kept expanding until they reached a point where even overseas, ENDGAME arenas could be found many major cities. Ten years since it was first launched, ENDGAME was a now a game in everyone's vernacular.
ENDGAME has a player and team ranking system which notifies players which competitions they are eligible for. While community-hosted tourneys are common and are a good way to get practice, they don't affect ranking. The only way to climb the ladder is to participate in TG-sponsored competitions, notifying its registered teams and players of any tourneys in their area.
Games and tourneys are listed with an indication of its rank. Much like the Direct Hit games of the past, ENDGAME eventually came to adopt a similar but simplified stratification system.
[div class="statname"]OPEN LEAGUE[/div] The most casual level and where most of the playerbase ranks at. Most who play at this level are not even required to be ranked by the TG database.
[div class="statname"]MAIN LEAGUE[/div] Only players and teams ranked by TG are allowed to participate from now on. A higher level of play than the OPEN LEAGUE, but competition-specific teams are still a fairly common sight.
[div class="statname"]PREMIER LEAGUE[/div] Talented amateurs that have likely been vetted by the bigger names in the scene to gain experience, with hopes of having them join the PRO LEAGUE. The teams here are usually formed as sister teams to existing brands, often with their a coach, which explains the level of cohesion versus MAIN LEAGUE.
[div class="statname"]PRO LEAGUE[/div] The top percentage of players, rising to the top with a combination of skill, luck and networking. Pro players must be signed with a team to participate in PRO LEAGUE competitions.

A few aspiring pros even carry their teams from zero to hero, turning it into their own brand, although there’s considerably a lot more difficulty involved in doing this nowadays. Most talented amateurs are scouted and recruited into lower division sister teams of existing brands that were founded during ENDGAME's formative years. [/div] [/div] [div class="scrollbox hidebox mechanicsbox"] [div class="section"] [div class="heading"]*players[/div] To participate in ENDGAME, one must be at least 16 years old. This is due to the inherent risks involved in participating. All players, upon signing up for the first time in an ENDGAME arena, are asked to sign an agreement that they understand that danger remains, however minimized. Once they've understood the terms and conditions, players can then sign-up onsite with their preferred handle and other relevant information, including their gameplay avatar's appearance. This data is stored and updated on ENDGAME's database, so player information remains updated even when changing arenas. [/div] [div class="section"] [div class="heading"]*equipment[/div] ENDGAME has a lot of equipment involved in its gameplay, but the two pieces a player absolutely needs are the bodysuit and the AR helmet. The bodysuit is rented out at the arena, hence why they recommend wearing form-fitting clothes underneath. Both serve a dual purpose: for protection and for gameplay. The bodysuit reads interactions between players and the environment. Take, for example, a gunshot at the leg. Upon detecting a leg wound, the suit stiffens and weighs down the area, mimicking the difficulty one would have moving with such an injury. The AR helmet, meanwhile, deals with how a player views their environment.
Both pieces have variations and equippable tools, which can be set from a user's account on the ENDGAME database. Since a good part of the game is AR, there's no need for a physical change to wildly variate how either behaves. [/div] [div class="section"] [div class="heading"]*arenas and gyms[/div] Most major cities have one or two large arenas at which to host the local ENDGAME tourney. These arenas span around five soccer fields, while also boasting multi-floored areas. Aside from those, there are smaller arenas, better known as "gyms", for practice and casual play. These are typically half or less the size of a standard arena, making for quicker games.
There are different kinds of terrain and situations that players are able to play in, heavily affecting the strategies of anyone participating. Things like time of the day and visibility-scale are part of it. These are randomly selected during the beginning of the match, forcing players to adapt. As for maps, ENDGAME's default four boasts a decent variety, with arenas and gyms often making ones specific to their area.
[div class="statname"]CITY (outdoor 70% | indoor 30%)[/div] The area around Tomorrow Games' HQ has been recreated into a map for players to fight in. Plenty of areas to duck into and hide, as well as narrow gaps to take advantage of when teams are forced to bottleneck. A certain section is an indoor restaurant with tables, counters and a kitchen.
[div class="statname"]CRUISE SHIP (indoor 60% | outdoor 40%)[/div] A slightly narrower than usual map where getting pushed out of the play area means "death by drowning". Most of the map occurs within the ship itself with its myriad of hallways, but there's a large deck area at which there's nowhere to hide.
[div class="statname"]FOREST AND PLAINS (outdoor 100%)[/div] One of the maps where players will have to pray to RNJesus for weather and time. While parts of the map are heavily wooded, there are open tree line areas as well. As an incentive to come out of hiding, these are the places where the map spawns items for use of either team. It's not uncommon to see fights break out at these locations.
[div class="statname"]BUILDING (indoor 100%)[/div] The game picks from different building layouts. As for its purpose, this is also randomly chosen from presets. It could be an apartment complex, a bank, a mall... anything really. The most popular is a recreation of TG's offices. It includes a lobby, a corporate office level, cafeteria, and even a small rendition of a non AR-d ENDGAME arena.

They also make seasonal maps for fun. To avoid the default maps from going stale and sections of it abused, a good part of the map is randomized each time it's generated and set-up. Amongst the 4, the city is least varied as it's always forced to pick from different areas around TG's head office. On the opposite side of the spectrum, the Forest and Plains maps are never the same. [/div] [div class="section" style="padding-bottom: 125px;"] [div class="heading"]*gamemodes[/div] ENDGAME is most famous for its 5v5 team death match wherein one group of players must eliminate the entire enemy team. These games typically last from 30 minutes to an hour, but have no real time limit. The 3v3 variation with its smaller map is a fairly popular choice as well. However, other modes exist, with arenas and gyms listing their schedules at least three days ahead of time.
[div class="statname"]ENDGAME (5v5 or 3v3)[/div] In a team vs team death match, one team must completely eliminate all members of the opposing group. It doesn't matter if there's only one member left on one and there are still five on the other; the game's not over until all are gone.
[div class="statname"]FLAGSHIP (5v5 or 3v3)[/div] Another team vs team mode, but this time each team must flag one of their players. Should the flagged player die, the team automatically loses. Neither team knows who is flagged on the other, so it's up to the team how they want to approach the road to victory.
[div class="statname"]BATTLE ROYALE (16+ or 9+)[/div] A more casual game mode where players fight for themselves, but can temporarily team up to get ahead of the pack. Players are blindly situated at random points in the arena. The map walls off some places after certain time points, eliminating anyone who isn't in the active play area. The map gets smaller and smaller as the timer counts down to zero. Your goal is to be the last one standing.

It's fairly common for players to professionally play more than one game mode. Some even use the exact same team for both ENDGAME and FLAGSHIP. [/div] [/div] [div class="scrollbox hidebox rulesbox"] [div class="section"] [div class="heading"]*RESPECT[/div] My philosophy on GMing is fairly relaxed: respect me, I respect you. As a GM, I'm in a position of authority over participants of my roleplays. If I reject someone, there's a reason for it, and I'm willing to take a second look if they decide to listen to my criticisms. In that same vein, if my players decide to (politely) criticize me for a decision I made, I will take it into account with no hard feelings. I'm willing to listen to discussion and disagreement, but when I draw a line, I don't budge it.
Respect extends to beyond the roleplay sphere however. If a player has a history of things like theft or character plagiarism, remaining unapologetic about such things, I reject them. I don't tolerate bad behavior in my roleplays. [/div] [div class="section"] [div class="heading"]*LITERACY[/div] I don't care much for labels. As long as you can post a cohesive paragraph, then you're good. We all start somewhere, so if we offer feedback on your writing, it's because we want to help you grow. Occasional misspellings are understandable, we all have those days. But if you can't get your their/they're consistent, then I think you should brush up a bit more on English before trying out here. [/div] [div class="section"] [div class="heading"]*RESERVATIONS[/div] Are non-existent, unless you've been personally invited to this roleplay. Everyone goes through a screening process; you submit a character concept, and we'll see if it's up to standards. Failure to comply with this will mean automatic rejection. Unlike most roleplays, ENDGAME will be operating on a roleplayer cap rather than character cap. Feel free to create as many as you can handle once you've passed the application. Head over to the APP thread for more information. [/div] [div class="section" style="padding-bottom: 125px;"] [div class="heading"]*COMMITMENT[/div] Should you fail to speak with me within a month, you're booted from the roleplay, no exceptions. I don't mind long absences so long as you keep us updated on your current status. Likewise, should you no longer feel like participating, I want to be informed instead of leaving us with question marks. I take more offence at being dropped like a hot potato than being told directly that you no long feel like you can commit.

LOUDER was formed during the 4th season of ENDGAME, originally comprised of a bunch of random individuals who needed a team to join the higher level leagues. Said group was lead by Lucas Kent, who went on to become one of ENDGAME's legendary players when he reverse-swept a 1v5 situation during the finals. Despite the loss, their popularity soared as clips of the play continue to be referenced even today. They decided to continue the team beyond one season (their original agreement was only for the fourth season), eventually forming a brand organization by the same name. Two of the original members continue to play. Two others, one of whom is Lucas, have taken on more administrative roles. The last member left during the 7th season to found Galahad.
The team has often featured a pivotal center within their lineup. They excel in hit-and-run tactics, often making good use of tools and terrain. Despite their expansion, they retain their independent philosophy, refusing company sponsorships for the team as a whole. Individual player sponsorships, however, are alright with them. [/div] [div class="section"] [div class="heading"]*STYLE[/div] As mentioned, LOUDER excels in guerilla warfare-like tactics. They make use of the tools and terrain available to them. A lot of people have commented that for such an attention-grabbing name, their extensive use of stealth and traps feel quite opposite to the brand's image. Due to their playstyle, they excel in maps with a lot of cover, such as the city area and certain variations of the building map.
The general vibe of the team is very relaxed, with an urban street flair to their outfits. Unlike ZER0 and Galahad, none of them members have any matching clothing items. However, they look more cohesive as a team than Antiheroes due to their singular style family. [/div] [div class="section" style="padding-bottom: 125px;"] [div class="heading"]*TRAINING[/div] The team holds individuals accountable for their own training. While it does hold group practice sessions, majority of training is free form and at your own time and pace. If you don't pull your own weight, you'll get relegated to the bench.
LOUDER is one of the teams that spends quite a bit of time studying their opponent's playstyles, second only to ZER0. They're willing to make more adjustments to take advantage of enemy weaknesses. As a result, most of their members have a fair amount of proficiency and reliance in the various tools made available to players by the game. Rather than outright training, LOUDER is the team that figures out weird interactions in the game to take advantage of. Take for example, the 'extra 10' bug from season 8. LOUDER was the one who figured out certain bullet types had an extra 10px hitbox outside the range indicated by the game.

Gregers Lazarov was a member of the original LOUDER team until he eventually left due to a difference in opinion. He believed that company sponsorships could be used for the benefit of the team, whilst Lucas thought it was too close to selling out. Shortly after leaving of his own volition, he founded Galahad, recruiting players who'd found dissatisfaction in their current organizations. Other teams found it too close to poaching but remained silent; LOUDER, true to form, publicly called them out. Everyone watched with baited breath as the drama unfolded on Chunmi during the start of the 8th season.
Galahad is a disjointed team consisting of the most notable members of the competitive scene. These are either former star players of other teams, or simply players who have strong public appeal and large fanbases. It's rare to see a complete rookie amongst them. [/div] [div class="section"] [div class="heading"]*STYLE[/div] Galahad has a very individualistic approach to the game, with players typically moving on their own. Whereas LOUDER has some coordination involved in their strategy, Galahad is literally five different people doing their own thing. Teamwork isn't exactly their thing, but due to the skill of each individual player, they're able to win games. Divide-and-conquer is a strategy they lean heavily towards.
ENDGAME's following often refers to Galahad as the princes/princesses, whether they're being sarcastic or just an honest-to-goodness fan. Their uniforms remind people of Japanese prince/ss idol costumes, complete with differing color schemes. They were going for a more royal look, but considering the fact many of their players are widely considered to be good-looking, that's what ended up happening. [/div] [div class="section" style="padding-bottom: 125px;"] [div class="heading"]*TRAINING[/div] Galahad's training is even more relaxed than LOUDER's, if that's even possible. Due to the myriad of teams the members originated from, the organization can't agree on any one method that fits for everyone. As a result, most training is individual, with some group training sessions and frequent scrimmages against other teams.
While most teams keep most of their training secret, with a few scattered glimpses via monitored streams, Galahad tends to be open with theirs. This is mostly because there usually isn't much of a plan in the first place, with strategies created on the fly. Gameplay wise, if there's one thing to note about their players is that they're very adaptable. Despite their independent tendencies, most know how to cooperate if the situation calls for it.

ZER0 is considered one of the original teams that helped form the competitive scene of ENDGAME. Five of the top players of the time formed a team from the bottom up, going from open league to pro league. Three members continue to play. Two were forced to retire due to injuries, but only one left the scene completely to pursue other goals. The other one chose to stay and act as strategist and coach for others.
Amongst the teams, ZER0 is the one most alike to how actual military behaves. When on the field, they wait for their captain's orders before taking individual action. Their philosophy revolves around them as one unit. [/div] [div class="section"] [div class="heading"]*STYLE[/div] In contrast with LOUDER which has a very self-reliant style, ZER0 has a defined chain of command. Some call it rigid, but considering how the team sits at the top of the rankings, they had to be doing something right. Members of the team know that they're able to trust the others to have their back. Communication is key to ZER0.
Fitting with the team's militaristic vibe, the team wears the same base uniform with personal flairs in the form of color scheme and accessories. However, the colors members choose tend to be very muted and suited to camouflage such as blacks, greys and browns. [/div] [div class="section" style="padding-bottom: 125px;"] [div class="heading"]*TRAINING[/div] Members of ZER0 do everything together. From eating together to practicing as a team, they spend a good part of the day in close quarters. Everyone monitors each other's progress; feedback is given regardless of rank. The team trains its members to take these criticisms graciously. Another advantage of the team is their myriad of benched members. Unlike other teams, they're comfortable with switching between their main roster and reserves with no threat of disrupting the group's teamwork.
Like LOUDER, ZER0 researches their opponents on upcoming matches, exploiting weaknesses they find. There isn't any one map the team is good at. As an all-rounder, they tend to perform well in any terrain, thought admittedly they're rarely able to really maximize it for their use. Much of their training time is spent doing drills and recreating situations that they might find themselves in at some point in a game.

Antiheroes is one of the oldest teams in ENDGAME's competitive scene, having been a participant since the first season. Their founder, Eliza Pollux, is an iconic figure in ENDGAME's history. She lead her team to victory in the finals during the game's first two seasons, bouncing back from Lucas' match reverse-sweep in their best of five. After ten years in the business, the four of which was coach work, Eliza abrupt left the scene. Antiheroes is now struggling with their new leader as they try to find their new identity.
Eliza's philosophy on ENDGAME was very simple: "It's a game, have fun with it." She became friends with TG's founder and was pivotal to many of the quality of life changes in early patches of the game. Despite not making it out of groups since the second season, the game has a small but loyal fanbase primarily comprised of followers who'd been with them since season one. Others, however, have criticized the organization for not taking the game seriously enough. Whatever the case, people are curious to see what's Antiheroes without an Eliza. [/div] [div class="section"] [div class="heading"]*STYLE[/div] Like ZER0, they're an all-rounder that performs well enough in most maps and terrain. Unlike them however, Antiheroes is structured to be more democratic than leader-biased, which could mean for some very unexpected turns in their strategy. That's what often makes Antiheroes matches so interesting to watch. On the flipside, delays in communication and disagreements on what plan of action to take are oftentimes their downfall.
The only thing that makes Antiheroes cohesive is their lack of cohesion. Avatar outfits can range from military to casual wear, making for some interesting combinations when on the field. One of the most hilarious was during World's Groups stage, which occurs during October. The team dressed as various characters. One was Phoenix Wright from Ace Attorney, and beside him was Goku. [/div] [div class="section" style="padding-bottom: 125px;"] [div class="heading"]*TRAINING[/div] While ZER0 values teamwork above all else, Antiheroes values camaraderie. You could coordinate with someone you disliked on ZER0, but that simply doesn't work in a team like Antiheroes. While not everyone's best friends, people are amicable enough to each other and are close enough to call each other a casual friend. They often eat meals together, and in-house team versus team matches are a common occurence to get some practice in.
Training in the Antiheroes house is fairly well-rounded. There's a fitness regime, actual drills, and then the in-house battles, usually for a casual reward like who's paying for dinner that night. While their players are willing to work hard, they don't turn the game into their life like other teams. They take the time to enjoy ENDGAME and the process of getting good at it. Like Galahad, one of their strong points is the myriad of personalities in their roster. Someone was bound to make an interesting way to deal with an enemy's strength.
