Changes: Shell League

Shell League is a Shell Shockers e-sports tournament where the players from different clans/teams come together to compete. The league features a variety of teams or clans. Each clan is part of the tournament for a season with the winner getting ultra rare prizes

Many of the clans are made up of highly skilled players, who are enlisted by people in the existing clan. Shell League was the first league which offered clans a place to compete for prizes hence why it is the biggest league in the shell shockers community today.

The League has also introduced different branches for players not located in North America including Shell League Europe. Recently, the league has replaced the original game mode, known as classic, with the Coop Kings mode. In Coop Kings, clans play first to 5 points in the KOTC game mode. Shell League offers some of the rarest prizes to the season winner's as they have platnium tier'd code support from BWD including bucks, flames and albinos. Exclusive personal clan stamps or hats are made just for the winning team. The main clan members and players are given the stamp

The League also hosts occasional special events and tournaments, including 2v2s, 1v1s, and content creator games for extremely rare and exclusive prizes such.

History

Shell League was founded in 2018 by discord users ArkangelTyreal and Oopa_Mag. The first recorded scrimmage was a 4 v 4 between the teams KoW and USA. The League exploded in popularity, with a member count peaking to 7000+. Two other branches were created shortly after. The first was Pre League, where 8 new and upcoming teams competed in a regular season as well as a special tournament called the Carton Cutoffs, where the top teams would advance to Shell League. The other was Shell League Oceania, a league for players in the Oceania region. Originally, the Shell League was a round robin tournament, with 2 divisions that held 8 similarly skilled teams. This was replaced with a Swiss style tournament at the start of season 5 (Later iterations of the league would again use a round-robin format). Shell League also released an EU league for European players. Traditionally, at the conclusion of each season, an all-star game is played, and a season MVP is chosen. During the league's prime, season MVPs were rewarded with a $20 gift card and a rare skull bandana item code. Unfortunately many of the League's most prominent members, including the founders, have moved on from Shell Shockers. The demand for competitive Shell Shockers has been steadily declining since the end of the Covid-19 pandemic, and it is currently unclear what the future of the League will look like. The league is still currently running seasons but is barely holding up due to lack of interests from players and in game changes which are moving players away from the game. Today the league is run/owned by alrtxd.

Controversies

Over the years, Shell League has been involved in a fair deal of controversy, including accusations of bias management, toxic members and staff, and rampant cheating. The use of hacks during official games for a competitive advantage, as well as alting, where a single player creates multiple discord accounts in order to compete on many teams at once, has been well documented throughout the league's history and still remains an issue. The league has tried to mitigate these problems through the use of player legitimacy verification and vetting staff members, but these have not been foolproof. Despite these pitfalls, the league has still succeeded in entertaining 1000s of players and viewers, and will hopefully continue to for years to come.

-Following an event where the league discord server was nuked, where many of the league's problems and controversies were brought to light, the league lost its partnership with Blue Wizard Digital. The league has a reputation among the rest of the community for being very toxic, and there are accusations of the league not being run fairly (for example bias admins), along with rampant cheating. The league is plagued by hackers and users who create alternate Discord accounts for various reasons including being banned or for more playing time, among other reasons. This led to a hack verification system being implemented. This system has been criticized for not being effective enough to stop experienced game hackers. An identification bot was also added to try and prevent alternate accounts from joining, but again, it is not enough to stop experienced alters. Reportedly, over 1.6k members have been banned from the franchise.
