HCTeams was one of the two servers that defined Hardcore Factions during the format's 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.
This article is a stub. The founding date, ownership, staff and playerbase figures all still need to be added.
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.
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.

NoLimit is the most decorated faction documented here, with Citadel wins across at least seven maps under Spyno.
Notable events
Map 11. Nightmare made two factions raidable consecutively without refilling on gear, a run still cited in arguments over whether cleaning up is legitimate. It is documented in Layer's video of the map.
