We're looking for 16 testers to join the first beta tournament.
- Click on "Multiplayer" and select the "Tournament" button. Then sign up. Tournament recruitment will be open for a week, starting on February 25th.
- The first tournament will have simple rules: we're planning a 3-rounds tournament, each one lasting one week. You will have to face your opponents in 1v1 matches, on the standard 8-players map. Each player will automatically be assigned a random continent. The winner will be admitted to the following round.
- For this beta tournament, you will need to use our Discord server to look for an opponent available to play with you on a certain date and time. You can play whenever you like, but remember that each round lasts one week: if you time out, you won't pass to the next round.
- We're especially looking for ways to improve the pairing system and to help you schedule the tournament matches, so please let us know how you feel about the current system and what changes you'd like to see in the future. Provide us with feedback either on Discord or on the forum thread.
