In 2017, Jagex hosted the first ever esport event designed exclusively for their flagship game. However, when everything that could go wrong actually does go wrong, there's no stopping the chaotic storm ahead.

Last one was good
Imagine working so hard, to grind to the top of the qualify leaderboard just to be instantly disqualified seconds after getting into the actual tournament.
I feel like the trophy breaking due to the cheap materials used is a perfect metaphor for how this whole thing went down.

what is crazy is this happened in 2017....Jagex is still failing especially the recent deadman tourny of lag fest...Jagex is probably the worst company with the worst developers and planners. For an event so big and them not know how to reset the fog is just unacceptable...You would think Jagex would of improved from this but nope they are still falling short. Most incompetent employees ever I feel like Jagex is a highschool coding club full of script kiddies. "we got behind or we were delayed because we had to rewrite ____ code" Is such a common thing with this PoS company...why reinvent the wheel for real you are telling me they rewrote the entire highscore interface to do this event should be a red flag of pure incompetence and stupidity. This is what happens when you get 10 kids that don't know how to code write a script for gas and then nobody knows what the fuck anyone is doing in this company because they're all beta losers that communicate through clan chat instead of talking to each other. I can't imagine what you have to do to get a dev job there but I bet its such a shitshow they take a month to code an interface that grabs your exp and they fuck it up somehow just like they fuck up gas so many times ! This is the first of many ! look into the OSRS deadman they can't even do simple math and made the gas hit extremely hard and killed everyone in the first deadman almost instantly. Devs are again smiling on the stream like nothing happened. Not sure what is worse....the canceling and trading of pvp or the shitshow of attempted events in the last 3 years that clearly feel like a bunch of beta cucks that have to use a survey to vote in new content BUT WORKING FOR MONTHS ON IT BEFORE IT POLLED IS A GOOD IDEA? THEN IT GETTING DENIED BY A FEW PERCENTS ! Such beta cucks...throwing away months of work of a new skill for a percent loss of a dumbass poll that is flawed anyways. They are so self concious of ruining the game they are afraid to actually do anything but work on an interface update and code some halfqueer quest dialog that nobody cares about except those weirdos that cosplay and read the lore. Tar and feather the director and devs of this game or at least give them some anti anxiety meds so they can actually communicate with one another.

The one thing RS3 and OSRS players can agree on is how terrible the tournaments usually end up. It's a company hallmark.
Three things are certain in life - death, taxes and Jagex embarassing themselves at every opportunity.

Esports are cursed
I qualified for the finale, but because of the date it was pushed back to I couldn't participate. I was so damn excited, but I had to drive home from college on the day it got pushed back to. I was so dissapointed, but happy that I ended up getting the pet even though I couldn't participate.
i had no idea this even existed
It actually sounds like a super fun game mode, I wish they would give it another honest attempt. I loved darkscape and deadman.
One thing I've learned is that player-made tournaments are more organized than whatever tournament Jagex makes
I never even knew this existed. Man Jagex sure does have a poor track record of eSports events
"We're not in the nineteen-sticks-and-stones anymore." Great line!
Always good to see you upload my friend ❤ makes me feel like a kid again coming home after school to watch your videos
I remember this. I remember competing and making it into the top 100 only to not even be counted in the top 1000.
I was a top 1k player and never knew any of this about the final...missed it as I was on holiday...Thank god i did.
I would be down to play an alternate version of Gilenor on OSRS that had zombies everywhere and people had to band together to get places and get things done. Make it a coop OSRS experience. Would be amazing. Might being back the glory days a bit.

OH MY GOSH MY FLASHBACK MOMENTS! I remember that special event long ago, aside that this was separating from the actual game. It felt like heavy grinding while I was unable to stay longer due to irl stuff, but my friend was part as of the finale, which was accurate what happened. I did overheard about the delays and it was quite a mess. I was excited of this event about it, but was not expecting event to be split separated from the actual game.
I think RS3 doing leagues in the summer (several months away from the OSRS leagues) would be one of the best things for the game.
I still vaguely remember when this happened, I was on a bit of a burnout from the game at the time so I just remember seeing all the backlash on the finale one day. Always love seeing a new video from you :) -That one person who called themselves Mithrilmen that you probably don't remember ;)

Jagex embarrases themselves the same amount that RS players embarrass themselves screaming and crying about everything despite having no idea what they want whatsoever. Jagex releases a poll on combat: the player base vote that combat is boring and needs to be updated. Jagex releases EoC. The player base promptly begin to scream, cry, and throw a hissyfit (like always) and say they want the old combat back and they've always loved it.
Honestly full on massacre is kinda cool. Reminds me of like sao. Sometimes you’re just unlucky and sometimes you’re lucky
Woke up today to a bunch of friends messaging me saying they saw me in a youtube vid. Damn. I knew I wouldn't win it, but was hella bummed that I didn't even get to play the finale for real.
To be fair, it's pretty fitting to have the miasma already at max for the finale.
I was in this event I was heading to goblin village when the event started but shortly after passing the gate that leads to burthorpe i started taking damage i immediately turned around and run back to the gates, by time i got back to where the loadstone was it was game over, from what i saw everyone who left through the northgate died leaving only the south gate safe
I was there and forgot this existed! Blimey...great vid as always Will
Hey i remember playing this event. it was neat for the base level idea. Got the outfit and the RIP axe. tho they dont look nice :c
Reminds me of Kickabout League tournament with the qualifier match set at 3 am... despite Jagex "teaming up people from the similar timezones." Needless to say, I never played that match and was disqualified from the tournament.
Even the ad is terrific, lol!

I liked the survival Override you got for this even and I had fun participating in it, I wish it did better.
I remember I really wanted to try out the mode but didn’t know wtf was happening, feels like a fever dream now.
Aww you didn't mention my character Dragon Medal. I died about 15 minutes before the gates opened, I believe I was the first to die.

While nowadays, osrs with the near fortnightly content and rs3... basically on tickover, some mindless grind events to keep players occupied and basically no real content of value in sight.

I like how they added this, but took away Darkscape. Darkscape was so awesome, and yet they cut it. If you, like me, were fortunate enough to have a hand in darkscape and its short life, then youll have a cosmetic cape unlock in RS3 called DarksCape

I know everyone has their own ideas for how to smooth these esports events out and I’m one of them My only idea that’d benefit the players and mods the most would be to hire/borrow experienced esports developers from other studios like respawn/infinity ward/bungee. The games they develop may have their problems but if Jagex can’t reset the test server even after delaying a stream for half an hour then I think anyone who has past experience in competitive gaming can be a lot of help
