      <title>Join our big event!</title>
      <description>How's it going guys?&lt;br&gt;Danny here, and Liam's here too but we're not really here because this is text.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Soon enough we will be running an event on our Rust server, where we want as many of you guys to take part as possible! It should be a lot of fun, and we'll also be making a video for the channel at the same time! Can't say too much at the moment, but think Rust meets Helms Deep...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;bb_h1&quot;&gt;If you're interested, leave a comment below and we'll contact you next week when we run the event!&lt;/div&gt;</description>

      <title>Rust T-Shirts, Rust server &amp; TeamSpeak details!</title>
      <description>&lt;div class=&quot;bb_h1&quot;&gt;Hey guys and girls, time for a quick update!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;First up, we now have our own Rust server! It's &amp;quot;medieval&amp;quot; to keep things a bit more interesting.&lt;br&gt;You can join it by just typing &lt;b&gt;client.connect 173.199.73.70:28036&lt;/b&gt; into your console, or finding 'TheGrumpySpanner' in the modded list.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Secondly, we've just made a couple of t-shirts for Rust, check 'em out:&lt;br&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;bb_link&quot; href=&quot;http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=523989004&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;  id=&quot;dynamiclink_1&quot;&gt;http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=523989004&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;bb_link&quot; href=&quot;http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=523969981&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;  id=&quot;dynamiclink_2&quot;&gt;http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=523969981&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;If you want to see them ingame as much as we do, make sure you hit yes!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Lastly, we also made our TeamSpeak IP public in a video a week or so ago, since we upgraded to 50 slots. Many people missed it so I thought I'd post the IP again. It's: &lt;b&gt;109.169.56.53:11427&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Come on and say hi!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Cheers lads and ladies,&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Danny.&lt;/i&gt;</description>

      <title>2v2 CS:GO Tournament!</title>
      <description>&lt;div class=&quot;bb_h1&quot;&gt;What's this about?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sev3no came up with the idea to host a small 2v2 tournament on CSGO between friends. It won't be anything huge, but if this first competition is successful then we'll definitely host more with a proper prize pool, MVP rewards and more people.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;bb_h1&quot;&gt;How will it work?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;There will be 16 players in total, competing in 8 teams of 2 people. When everyone has signed up we will select 8 players (using a random picker) one at a time to be &lt;i&gt;team leaders&lt;/i&gt;. Each team leader will be able to pick their second player.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Each team will be placed into either Group A or Group B where they will play each of the other 3 to be one of the top two teams in their group. The bottom two will be eliminated. The top two from each group will pass through to the semi-finals. The two semi-final winners will become our finalists.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;bb_link&quot; href=&quot;https://steamcommunity.com/linkfilter/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fchallonge.com%2Fexampliotgsiko1%2Fgroups&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot; noopener&quot; &gt;If I haven't explained this very well, there's a simulation you can check out here.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;bb_link_host&quot;&gt;[challonge.com]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;(select stages on the left - pts = rounds won)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;bb_h1&quot;&gt;How will the games work?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;When the teams are formed we will work out the &lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;Team Rank Number&amp;quot; (TRN)&lt;/i&gt; for each of them.&lt;br&gt;For example, the &lt;b&gt;Silver 1&lt;/b&gt; rank number would be 1, &lt;b&gt;Global Elite&lt;/b&gt; would be 18 - and anything inbetween (LE-15, DMG-14, GN2-8...). We will add the two numbers corresponding to the ranks of each team-member together to work out that team's &lt;i&gt;TRN&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Each game will be a &lt;b&gt;best of 3&lt;/b&gt;, and each match will be best of 18 (unlike best of 30 in normal competitive). The team with the lowest &lt;i&gt;TRN&lt;/i&gt; will get first choice of map and the side they want to start on. The second map will be the other teams choice. If the game makes it to the third map, the map and starting side will be randomly selected.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;We're still thinking about the possibility of prizes, but for now assume that there won't be any - or it won't be anything huge if there is. This is just for fun, not for profit. We will however be noting down how many MVP stars each player gets and how many rounds a team wins - for bragging rights.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;bb_h1&quot;&gt;When is it?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;First we need to see how many people are interested! If we can get all 16 people then we'll probably try to do this over the month of June. We're expecting the entire thing to last about a month - that's 3 weeks of group stages and 1 week of finals - and we want to do it before the summer holidays.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;bb_h1&quot;&gt;If you're interested, let us know as soon as possible by contacting Sev3no or myself on Steam.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;If I've forgotten to mention anything let me know, I'll answer any questions.</description>
