League: Western S4
Subject: Heroes, Assemble!!

Many people join the Versus tournament every month, and every time we watch the same old gameplay over and over again. It's getting tedious; it's not what S4 League is all about. But that's all about to change. The Alaplaya Event Team has been working their behinds off to bring us the best of events, and now it's time to unveil their latest plan. It's time for teams to show us what they're made of! Alaplaya and S4 Source is proud to host the next tournament, Heroes Versus!!

The event will take place on Saturday, May 14th, 2011 and starts at exactly 19:00 CEST/17:00 GMT/12:00 EST/9:00 PST (just like any other regular Versus tournament). This tournament will be held in collaboration with S4 Source. There will be Event Team Judges and S5 Judges to help out for those who are lost. Please be reminded that if you are not participating, please do not enter the PRO Channel. It's hard to maintain 600 people at one time, so please be considerate and wait for the livestream. As mentioned, the Finals will be live streamed from http://www.livestream.com/channels5.

People will be entering in teams of four(4). One hundred and twenty(120) teams will be chosen to participate. The deadline is this Sunday, May 8th, 2011 so be sure to get entered ASAP!

Of course, this Versus tournament is a bit different. As the name suggests, we're going to playing Hero style. Alaplaya has provided us with a list of classes that players may choose from. It doesn't matter if every player is from one class as long as you follow the rules outlined below.

=============== HERO CLASSES =======================
NOTE: You must choose one weapon from each line.

Description: It's the Striker's task to get Fumbi safe to the opponent's goal. Here the first few seconds after the beginning of the round are most important. During this time, the Striker needs to reach and take the ball before the opponent does. The tricky part is to still have enough SP left to dash to the goalpost quickly. The main aspect while equipping this player is to have a good balance between HP Skill and SP Skill, since both play an important part.
Weapons:
1. Sub Machine Guns / Smash Rifle
2. Hand Gun or Any Melee weapon (Spy Dagger / Plasma Sword / Counter Sword / Twin Blades / Storm Bat)
3. Revolver / Shotgun / Plasma Sword / Semi Rifle
Skills: Anchor / SP Mastery 40 / HP Mastery 30 / HP Mastery 15

Description: A Defender uses a sniping weapon to back up his team from a safe distance. His main objective is to take out the opponent's Defender and clean the way to the goalpost for his team's Striker. Because of his intensive concentration on the front he's highly vulnerable to close-range damage, dealt for example by an Invader.
Weapons:
1. Rail Gun / Cannonade
2. Semi Rifle / Sub Machine Guns / Smash Rifle
3. Senty Nell / Sentry Gun / Twin Blades / Counter Sword / Plasma Sword / Air Gun
Skills: Shield / Block / HP Mastery 30 / HP Mastery 15

Description: The Invader needs to offensively attack the opponent at his weakest spot and thus distract him. He tries to enter enemy territory as fast as possible and confuse the opponents. To do so he needs to constantly watch the enemy's tactic and flexibly react on strategic changes.
Weapons:
1. Heavy Machine Gun
2. Plasma Sword / Counter Sword / Twin Blades
3. Revolver / Shotgun / Cannonade
Skills: Invisibility / Bind / Wings / HP Mastery 30 / HP Mastery 15

Description: The Healer often plays an important role during the match which makes him strategically indispensable although he might seem of no importance on the first thought. But in fact, this is his great advantage! Enemies tend to underestimate the power of healing and rather concentrate on attacking the Striker.
Weapons:
1. Sub Machine Guns / Smash Rifle
2. Plasma Sword / Counter Sword / Twin Blades
3. Mind Energy
Skills: Metallic / Detect / HP Mastery 30 / HP Mastery 15

================================================


We hope you enjoy the competition. It really comes down to strategy and gameplay this time around. Be good and have fun. Good Luck Everyone~
