The Throwdown Competition may have only just begun, but yet again it's time for another feature. After all, you wouldn't want to begin practicing on it the day before your match now would you? Hellium will hit the competition Monday, August 29th so you should have some time to get your skirmishes in. The map is set for round four and five, where round four will be for both winner and loser bracket teams, and five will be for the uhh, the less fortunate...*ahem*.

Designed by one of our administrators, Transactionzero, and some journalist by the name of Stevo, Hellium is the 3rd map in our line-up of 2v2 battlefields. Unlike Haze, this level is completely asymmetrical allowing for easy callouts and excellent player orientation. This is room-to-room based combat at its finest. No real inspiration went behind the scenes here; the two just got together and magically crafted a masterpiece. However, the three catwalks connecting purple to shotgun seem a little reminiscent of Damnation if you ask me. There are three main locations in this arena, green room, center, and purple. While green and purple only have traffic flowing through one route, middle is a different story. This area has two floors; while most of the flow will be directed towards top mid, you should expect to see quite a bit at bottom mid as well, considering it houses the almighty overshield. Speaking of power-ups...

You'll want to be acquainted with the power weapons that lie in this map. In green room rests the grenade launcher awaiting your possession towards the back of the room. A lovely shotgun can be found at top mid perched on table for easy recognition. And finally, the weapon most players want their hands on, the sniper rifle. It lies in the yellow room just below purple.

Transactionzero and Stevo put their hearts and souls into this unique playspace so I'm sure they'd appreciate it if you gave this a download. Who am I kidding, do you have a choice? Press the download button and get to practicing, you only have 7 days! But first, check out this sweet video showcasing the map! Writeup by Skisma.
