'''HCTeams''' was one of the two servers that defined [[Hardcore Factions]] during the format's [[History of Hardcore Factions|golden era]], alongside [[Kohi]]. It ran [[Citadel]] as its map-deciding event, four per map and one per week, and most of the format's best-known rivalries played out there.

HCTeams ran at least twenty maps, numbered 0.5 through 17 with two half-maps in the sequence. Map 10 was styled '''Map X''' at the time and still appears that way in player records.

== History ==
''Needs: when HCTeams launched, who owned and ran it, when it closed, and peak player counts.''

=== Half-maps ===
Three maps sit outside the whole-number sequence: '''0.5''', '''4.5''' and '''14.5'''. Half-numbering usually indicated a shorter or unscheduled map run between full seasons.

''Needs: why each half-map ran and how they differed from full maps.''

=== The name since ===
The HCTeams name outlived the original network in two ways.

'''As a plugin.''' HCTeams became the name of a widely used open-source HCF core for Spigot, forked and resold across the server scene for years afterwards. Much of what later HCF servers ran was built on it.

'''As revivals.''' The name has been relaunched more than once by unrelated owners, including a Pirate Studios revival and a current network at hcteams.net advertising DTR, deathbans, KOTH, Citadel and Conquest. Neither is connected to the original network.

== Citadel ==
Citadel was HCTeams' signature event and the basis of its map results. Four ran per map, one per week, and the faction taking the most is treated as having won the map. See [[Citadel]].

== Maps ==
Recorded results. See [[Map archive]] for the full table with sources.

== Factions ==
Factions recorded on HCTeams so far: [[Aloha (faction)|Aloha]], [[Dragneel (faction)|Dragneel]], [[Grimdale (faction)|Grimdale]], [[Nightmare (faction)|Nightmare]], [[NinjaTurtles (faction)|NinjaTurtles]], [[NoLimit (faction)|NoLimit]], [[Sweatfest (faction)|Sweatfest]].

[[NoLimit (faction)|NoLimit]] is the most decorated faction documented here, with Citadel wins across at least seven maps under [[Spyno]].

'''Map 12.''' [[Nightmare (faction)|Nightmare]] made two factions raidable consecutively without refilling on gear, a run still cited in arguments over whether [[Rules and punishments#Cleaning up|cleaning up]] is legitimate. It is documented in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqQpI46lRu8 Layer's video of the map].
