Duel Tournament 21/08

Original post here

Tournament info:
This is a simple duel "elimination" tournament. Defeat your enemy in 2-3 fights to make it into the next round.
There are 5 tournament rounds and max 3 fights per duel. Win the two first fights and you are in the next round.
Otherwise, a third fight will decide the winner.

Tournament Results

Tournament procedure:
I will send out a PM to all participants before the event as a reminder. Server PW included.
Participants are asked to join the server at 3:30pm to get warmed up etc.
S2Mercenary will join the server and stream the event live on justin.tv.

All participants are asked to gather around the pit once we got all technical stuff ready.
The tournament administrator will call out the 2 players which are about to fight. Both players must wait
before each fight until the administrator gives the go. This is needed so that the administrator has enough time to update
the tournament results after each fight. All other players are asked to observe the fight and wait for their turn.

Tournament prize:
- This is for all: You will be streamed live on justin.tv and a video will be available on youtube.com
- The replay will be saved...hopefully
- The winner gets: A special, handmade forum signature to brag with

Sign-up conditions:
- Player lvl 40+
- Must read/accept and obey the tournament rules
- Must be able to attend 30 minutes before the event
- Must reserve enough time (2 hours) for the event

Other notes:
The tournament will be held on an EU server. So non-EU player might be at a great disadvantage.
Non-EU ppl can sign up regardless of that fact. I'm just saying that the playing conditions may not be perfect.

Only 24 players can sign up for this event. I might increase the number for the next one.
This the first duel tournament ever and it will show what needs to be improved and if we can get more players into it.
