Never known to do something half way, Studio Wildcard will then turn around and hold a totally new tournament the next day, called the Last Man Standing Mod 5-Man Tournament! The tournament will be run using a Survival of the Fittest mod created by community member Katti. The event will be streamed on Twitch at 11 am EST, Sunday, October 9, 2016 at by Davnell: www.twitch.tv/davnell

Different than the Survivor League, Last Man Standing uses tribes of five and will consist of three 1.5 hour matches where points are awarded for tribe survival placement (10 points for 1st, descending by 1 point for each successive position, 0 points for 11th place and below). The highest points accumulated points at the end of the three matches wins!
