Lethal League Blaze News

One day Candyman walked in a music store. He went missing for two weeks after that. Then appeared the illustrious Galileo the Funky Saxman, or at least that's how he introduced himself after giving East Shine City an unforgettable night of mindbogglingly intergalactic saxophone solos.

The alternate version is the Saturnus Incognita:

• A Candyball will now hit players swinging with their back to a wall
• Candyman can only parry a Candyball once
• Parrying a Candyball removes the hat from it
• Candymans wall teleport is easier to perform
• Nitros additional special activation sparks are no longer misaligned
• pivots are easier to perform with simultaneous direction inputs

It's about time. And that time is in a week.
The next DLC outfits are coming.

The additional change list won't be as massive as last time, but still significant enough to warrant a new ranked season. (you can check them out early in the public-beta, the changelist is in our discord server!)

That's right, you've got a week left to make your mark on a relatively short season 8!

Speaking of which, the community modding expert in chief MrGentle has created an excellent public leaderboard website: https://blazelb.xyz

Unlike the steam front-end we've been using to archive previous seasons it is not limited to displaying the top 200 players and can instead fetch you the entire list. It even tracks daily rank and score movements.

But here is the absolute cherry on top: It also exposes player statistics we never got around to properly present you ourselves. If the steam profile is public, you can view the win and play rates per character.

Looking to fine tune your competitive game or learn about opponents in your next tournament? This is the place to check out.

The new player challenge goes into round 3!

This time it is a single global bracket again, open to all players with less than 200 hours in game.

There is a $15/10/5 prize for the top 3 players.

The tournament communication will happen on the Lethal League Community Discord.

When Jet caught her breath she was just outside of the burning hideout. Smoke was already filling the badly lit alleyway. Then it hit her; her trusty jetpack was still inside. Flames were spitting out of the doorway, it didn't look like she was able to go back in like this. She ran out to the street and saw the Shine City fire brigade setting up their gear. She pleaded to them to try and find the jetpack, to no avail. They sure weren't risking their lives for some 'toy'. Jet, not one to give up on a friend, smoothly zipped into one of their spare suits and jumped into the fire.
