Who can sign up? This will be a 3vs3 tournament where players build their own teams using our tier system. When players register, they are automatically given a tier based on their elos (B Tier = 4 points, A Tier = 5 points, S Tier = 6 points, etc). There are more details about this in our handbook. The combined point totals for each team cannot exceed 16. All games are casted live or as recordings. We also use spy cams during live streams which allow us to listen in on teams voice chat during the games. Anyone can sign up!
Sign ups: February 1st to February 18th
