I am proud to announce that GAMMA will be branching out to K-1 Muay Thai!!!
Way back in the day, GAMMA had a separate organization for K-1, it ran for over a year and was one of the main 2 K-1 orgs in the game at the time.
The K-1 scene in this game is very weak, it pretty much always has been that way, but hopefully GAMMA can change that.
The goal is to run an openweight division for K-1 and run my regular MMA events at the same time. The format will be 3 x 5 minute rounds all fights in the cage, so basically K-1 rules in an MMA setup.
The big advantage of K-1 in this game is that you can be highly competitive very quickly because you only need to spend points on part of the skills. If we take all the skills which are used in K-1 here, we have:
So if you peak on every single skill, that is a total of 2250 points. You could argue that even with less than 2000 points, you basically have a "peaked" fighter as things such as balance/wrestling are not very important and you can probably get away with having just one of either elbows / knees.
A new 18y fighter starts with 700. So basically if you train up his physical skills and second primary, within 1 1/2 - 2 months you should be pretty competitive, assuming you put your points on K-1 skills only.
Your career can also be longer because even after you start to degrade, you will have enough points left to spend on preserving those few skills as fighters have over 2600 points in total.
The biggest downside of K-1 is that in this game, we lack any long term legacy. Orgs pop up and close ship within a few months or at best a couple of years. That wont be happening here because this is GAMMA! I will be running the K-1 division. The goal is that eventually our Contenders will also run an openweight division for the new fighters, but for now all the new fighters will be joining GAMMA.
We wont add an official ID restriction, however we wont allow any late creations or MMA veterans to join up (this will change when our own crop of fighters peak). All fighters joining have to be teenagers.
So, this is a good time to create your new fighters, our first event will take place early 2023 (most likely January).
If you have any questions or need advice for your fighter build, contact me!
