GCROCK LEAGUE: Overall Standings

The overall GCROCK League Standings are the total points that teams have scored across the whole of the league activities during this season! In the past months I have not included the speedrun league standings into this BUT now I am. This may have made some changes to positioning.

Position	Points
1st – The Dark Horses	1876
2nd – The Warriors	1403
3rd – Manscaped	1198
4th – Upper Echelon	885
5th – The Lizards	572
6th – Umbra Strong	382
7th – The Continentals	215
8th – Black Fire	70

Last month I included commendations for extra points. These didn’t quite go as I wanted so I have not included the results into this report. However, teams that earned points have had the points added to the final standings above

Cleaner/Riker Speedruns

In September teams will be challenged to take on Cleaner and Riker missions in the speedrun league. Teams must take on the missions on the highest difficulty settings and while no global event is active. Teams will score 5 points just for submitting a time on each of the missions, 25 points will be rewarded to the fastest team on each mission, 15 points for the second fastest, and 10 points for the third fastest. All points will be tallied up into a table at the end and the team in first place will score 100 bonus points, the team in second place will score 50 bonus points, and the team in third place will score 25 bonus points.

• The Tombs (Heroic)
• Stranded Tanker (Heroic)
• Pathway Park (Heroic)
• Wall Street (Heroic)
• Liberty Island (I know its Black Tusk but why not… Heroic)

The GC OG Raid Challenge

This challenge takes us back to the very first raid clear in the community. It was tough when Dark Hours first came out and what proceeded this clear is what we have built today. It all started through hard work and determination to get the job done, there was no OP builds and as for Strikers, that was just a gear set on The Division 1.

This challenge requires your whole squad to farm a build that closely resembles the builds that my team used on this first clear. At the time this was the way to do it and there were not many other options. You will need to watch my video below to see the build and the requirements as it will be easier to explain in a video. Do feel free to ask me any questions if you have them though.

There are no other rules other than your whole team using the OG build but there are some bonus points available!

• Teams will score 50 points for completing a Dark Hours raid with the OG builds
• Teams will score 50 points if they do not shoot any boomers in the bottom on the Razorback encounter
• Teams will score 50 points if they can complete Dark Hours with no wipe (Multiple tries allowed)
• Teams will score 150 points if they can get an OG flawless Dark Hours (downs allowed but not unconscious, multiple tries allowed)

Good luck to everyone involved and thank you for taking part in this pilot season for our GCROCK League. This is the final month and the data I have received has been invaluable! After the next maintenance session in our Discord you will see how the GCROCK League is going to be implemented and I think you all will like it.

In regards to the idea of additional commendations, this just didn’t work like I wanted and I have other ideas that I want to bring in after maintenance that will give you other stuff to do outside of the league if you are looking for things to do. I talk more about the upcoming Discord maintenance in this months community update post here: https://gcrock.com/gcrock-community-update-september-2024/

Enjoy the last month!
