Hail all,

We've just concluded the HAY season with surprisingly little entries - none! That's alright as we head straight into the new season - THE SEASON OF (Facility) DESTRUCTION!

That's right, this season we encourage and will award spacers who take down the Ishvana threat and their facilities! It wouldn't be MMR without a twist though, so we're bringing back various categories to compete in! The top contestants in each challenge category stand to win prizes. Please find the challenges and categories listed below!

Challenges:
1) Speed Runs timed runs for facilities
2) LFG timed runs for groups
3) Mutate to Satiate timed runs for the hardcore
4) Meet you downstairs MMR matches with surges!
Rules:
LOGS NEEDED FOR ALL SUBMISSIONS. LOGS DEFINED AS FULL LOGS OF RUNS STARTING FROM FACILITY ENTRY ALL THE WAY TO FACILITY ESCAPE! (I will only accept runs in which you cannot escape from the facility self-destruction in time AFTER opening the reward crate from Self-Destruction Mutation runs).

Self Destruct: 50% time reduction for the run
