Key to the unique nature of SOS is that the game features a real audience. Who do audiences want to watch? The best!
Is that you? Want to prove it?
Well, now’s your chance, because in order to find and feature the best SOS players for our audience, we are kicking off our very first PRIME TIME TOURNAMENT match!
How to Qualify for the Prime Time Match
There will be two ways to qualify for the Prime Time match:
- Be one of the Top 8 Players on the Survival Leaderboard at the end of the qualifying time.
- Be one of 8 Players chosen from the Order of the Relic, judged as entertaining and dynamic by Outpost Games.
What You Can Win in the Tournament
The admiration and jealousy typically reserved for someone of your stature. Knowing, respectful nods from strangers who learn of your deeds. And money, that too.
Besides the audience, something else that’s key to SOS is that it’s not a bloodthirsty winner-takes-all game. Multiple players can survive, and some of the best moments happen when teams form, break, and re-form as they compete for the spots on the helicopter.
That’s why in this tournament match, the more players who escape, the more money they make!
- If you are the sole player off the island, you get $200 USD.
- If there are two players off the island, they get $350 USD each
- If there are THREE players off, they get $500 USD each!
In addition to prize money, Prime Time contestants will also be featured throughout the following week on our social channels and will automatically be invited back to defend their positions in the next Prime Time Tournament.
The Specifics
The leaderboards will be reset on February 23nd , at which time the qualification period will begin.
The top eight from the Survival Leaderboard as of Friday March 2st at 3:59PM PST will automatically be invited to the Prime Time match. Two additional alternates will be invited in the case that those on the Leaderboard are unavailable that weekend for the match.
