Nitro Live was a series of two competitive Nitro UHC tournament events held in 2019 on the Dogcraft Server, comprised of Saturday Nitro Live in August and Nitro Live: Season 2 held later that year from November to December. The first event was originally organised by prominent Nitro UHC players 20.png nossi_ and 20.png William278, who was also a member of the Cyberdog Events Committee. After five weeks, 20.png Gupta99999 was determined the winner after beating runner-up 20.png Xman404 in a final set. The second event was organised by William, Gupta and SRN conductor 20.png darparniox; the tournament was ultimately won by nossi.

Format

The tournaments were comprised of four stages; Qualifiers, Quarterfinals, Semifinals and Finals.

Qualifiers

In the qualifiers, players were split into groups based on their timezone. When registering, players could either choose to register on the 3rd or 10th of August 2019.

Across three games of Nitro UHC, players had to compete in their group to earn the most points in order to qualify for the Quarterfinals. One point was earned for killing a player before deathmatch, two points were awarded for coming in second place and three points were awarded for winning a game.

Quarterfinals

Players who qualified were divided into groups of three for the quarterfinals. The players had to compete in a game of Nitro UHC and the top two players from each game would advance to the Semifinals.

Semifinals

The remaining players were placed into a 1-on-1 game. The winner would advance to the finals, while the looser would be eliminated.

Finals

In the finals, all remaining players were forced to compete for points in three games of Nitro UHC, just like in the Quarterfinals. After the two games were up, the top two scorers were made to compete in a best-of-three championship set, where the winner of the set would be declared the world champion.

History

The idea of a Nitro UHC tournament was proposed several times by various players since the creation of the minigame on the server in late-2016. However, it was not realized until the 20th of July 2019, where prominent Nitro UHC players 20.png William278 and 20.png nossi_ discussed the formal possibility of hosting the tournament through the month of August, leading to the planning and development of the event.

The Nitro UHC matches were live streamed and commentated on to further draw excitement and a set of rules was put in place to ensure the games would be both exciting to watch and fair for the competitors. Various guests would join William278 to assist in refereeing and commentating, including participants whilst they were not playing. For Semifinals and Finals, ReNDoG took over streaming the event live to hundreds of viewers as the tournament came to a conclusion. A special video highlighting the best moments for the tournament and advertising the finals was also produced.

Following the success of the first tournament, the decision was made to made to made to made to hold a second season in winter that year, this time being planned by William and previous winner Gupta, with assistance from darparniox. Unlike the first season, not all of the second season's games were streamed, although ReNDoG still broadcast the finals. After several weeks, 20.png nossi_ prevailed as the winner.
