Badlion Network Turns Four
Hello players, today marks the day that Badlion Open was released to the public four years ago with me and the Badlion HCF faction/OCN team being the staff team. Back then it was called BadlionPvP and was just a small practice server for our group of teammates and friends. A few months later, I ran into one of MasterGberry's friends in a LoL ranked game in which Gberry was spectating and recognized my name from a previous game and sent me a message. A few weeks later he joins the team as we make this server into our fun little hobby. Overtime, we've grown into a major network that still has the same focus as day one: Competitive Minecraft PvP. Today we are the central hub for competitive PvP, and with joining the ESL organization with family such as ESEA, we will be pushing competitive minecraft into the esports scene over this next year.

Like usual in these posts, we will go over what we've added this year.
  • Several new versions of Arena
  • Several new versions of UHC
  • Merged with Kohi
  • Joined the ESL family
  • Reworked SG into 2.1, which is showing great player counts now
  • Reworked UHC Meetup
  • Launched CTF
  • The Development team has grown to 16 dedicated Badlion developers, alongside ESL/ESEA developers.
  • Premium is on the verge of release, which comes with 128tps servers and industry leading client side anti-cheat.
  • Several updates to GCheat, which has increased our ban rate from GCheat + staff to 30%+ of all players to ever join Badlion are currently BANNED (every 10 people who join badlion, 3 are currently banned).
  • Launched new server locations in AU, NA, and EU, while also launching a minecraft major network first in South America.
  • Highest weekly unique player counts records are being broken every week.
  • Reprogrammed website
  • Introduced the Partner rank, which will receive several upgrades throughout the year to help encourage growth of the partners.
  • Several other minor additions that I can't possibly hope to list from memory.

  • To keep updated, we post developer logs every couple of weeks here: https://www.badlion.net/forum/category/58

    We also have a LOT of changes upcoming soon, for both premium and open. Unlike most of last year where we've been spending our time upgrading our backend, this year we can focus on frontend gamemodes and features. Here's what to look out for in the next couple of months:
  • Capture the Wool and other OCN gamemodes
  • Skywars on Open
  • Rush (Bedwars) on Open
  • Updates to UHCM to better balance starting items and the addition of teams.
  • Season 15, which comes with upgrades to KB delay, potion activation, and reworking of certain kits.
  • UHC6, which comes with the ability to host massive games (1000 and more players) without lag.
  • Massive tournaments and leagues, to the likes unseen in Minecraft
  • Other unannounced gamemodes

  • With the release of new gamemodes, introduction of premium, assistance from ESL with advertising, our hardworking staff and development team, our very outspoken and dedicated community, and all the great regular and famous players we have, we plan to make Badlion skyrocket competitive minecraft into the next stage of it's life in this next year.

    Thank you everyone who has helped us reach this point! There is no way we could have done this ourselves without the support of you guys. Here's to another great year!
