Contractors finished season 1 of the VR Master League with intense competition in the final round between two European teams: Assassins and The Leftovers. Ultimately The Leftovers claimed bragging rights and some great prizes for the first Contractors season title, but it wasn’t easy as the Assassins were worthy foes in a finale that ended 3-2.

Contractors is a VR first-person shooter from Caveman Studio that was welcomed to the VR Master League earlier this year. The VRML is a community-driven platform that supports the competitive VR scene for games such as Downpour Interactive’s Onward, davevillz’ Pavlov, and Phaser Lock Interactive’s Final Assault. Now Contractors has been added to this incredible community.

Although this is the first season of Contractors, The Leftovers team has a group of players who are experienced in the VR first-person shooter genre. Some of them have been playing together for two years and they’ve played some of the most popular VR games available, including Pavlov, Archangel: Hellfire, and Space Junkies.

We’ll be sharing some more information about The Leftovers soon, but for now we’d like to introduce you to the team. Congratulations to The The Leftovers for claiming the Contractors VRML Season 1 championship title!

V-Tach

• Title: team owner
• Home: Alabama
• Profession: paramedic

Fun fact: V-Tach enjoys outdoor activities such as wakeboarding, hiking, and golf. When he’s not in VR or at work, you’ll probably find him enjoying the great outdoors of the southern United States.

Quote: “I think the thing that makes TL so special is the synergy we have. A large part of our recruitment is a person’s personality and how well they ‘sync’ and get along with everyone rather than just skill, which I believe gives us a better team dynamic than a lot of teams. I consider everyone on the team a friend and I care about them and their lives beyond just a game or the match.”

• Professional field: agriculture
• Hobby other than VR: developing new breeds of cannabis

Proper_D

• Name: Duncan
• Age: 35
• Current home: London, UK

MrRJGreen

• Name: Ryan Green

Fun Fact: MrRJGreen qualified to compete in the Space Junkies Season 1 competition at the VR League Season 3 Grand Finals in June.

Nachtom

• Home: Czech Republic
• Age: 29
• Profession: researcher in computer science (simulations and artificial intelligence)
• YouTube channel

Quote: “Apart from VR, I’m interested in all new technology. I always want to know how everything works so I enjoy gathering knowledge and understanding about different areas: physics, engineering, and recently even psychology.”

Fun fact: Unlike many players of VR first-person shooters, Nachtom doesn’t use a gun stock. His preferred gun is the CZ 805, initially chosen because it’s made in his home country, but then he realized it’s a perfect gun for the close-range combat he prefers.

Phaenix

• Home: United Kingdom

Fun fact: Although Phaenix has only ever played with The Leftovers in Pavlov, she is a lady of amazing beauty and talents. Since she wasn’t playing in the Contractors VR Master League with The Leftovers, she switched roles a bit and actually did a bit of shoutcasting during the semi-finals and finals.
