Some players with to have another non-tactical (low paper-scissors-rock) league besides Earth League.

We are NOT going to add another completely new league because we already have some with many bots playing. So we need to switch an existing league and we would like you to help us with this decision. We identified three leagues with relative high bot count in the last weeks, to reduce the number of teams potentially unhappy with the solution. Please note: When we change a league, if a team doesn’t like to stay there and wants to change, they can contact us to get a free flag change item. The poll is open for one week.

On august 20th we are going to release the latest and of course coolest summer update of all times.

We are introducing the KiO U21 Cup as all new regular tournament!

The rules are as simple as this:

1. A valid U21 team has more players aged max 21 than not (at least 6, and at most 5 older players).
2. All U21 tournaments are played with low tactical emphasis to make sure that U21 player strength counts much more than guessing tactics.
3. Winners and runners-up win Talent points.

Obviously you need to build a strong U21 team to participate successfully. It’s up to you to decide if you want to do that or not. There surely is a good reward, because talent points are otherwise hard to collect, and as soon as many teams have a strong U21 team, we would like to extend the tournament system, add according challenges or whatever we (or you!) come up with.

The setup screen will show a new blue U21 icon on each player ages 21 or less and will also show a blue number if you have a valid U21 setup at its bottom.

Away rule

As you propably saw, the poll about keeping or abandoning the away goals rule is still online until next week, but the result seems to be unambiguous already. So we will propyble abandon the rule beginning with season 565.

More

Yes, there’s more: We are going to add a couple of new patterns for your emblems to choose from. Those we are going to show next week when the update comes.

Until then, thanks for playing!

As you propably know, in europe’s football the away goal rule is going to be abandoned.

The decision if we do the same in Kick it out, is up to you! Today we’re starting a poll for you to decide. The poll is open until august 20th, and if the majority votes for the change, it will be done in the next update which is planned for end of august.

Four of five previous World Cup winners are qualified, among many top teams, and some hopeful newer teams, that’s great!

The group phase tournaments will be held in league mode with rematch, so your team will have 10 matches! Place 1 and 2 advance to the final tournament on july 10th.

If one team in a group should not show up, it is replaces by a bot. If two teams don’t show up, the tournament size is reduced to 4 (6 matches per team). If three teams don’t show up, tournament size is 4 and a bot team jumps in.

The group tournaments start on saturday, July 3rd, 12:00 UTC (14:00 CEST) one after another with a delay of some minutes between each tournament, to reduce server load. We cannot tell the exact start time for all groups, but expect the last group (32) to start roughly between 13:30 and 14:00 UTC. All tournaments will show ab at least one hour before start, so it’s impossible to miss yours!

All the best for the group phase, let’s have a great and fair KiO World Cup!
