ty guys for sponsoring this… hope NA pro players wake up and be more like u guys. instead of trolling others for the same of a dumb sounding title in pvp.

Honestly community events like this should be stickied somewhere. really hoping this does well, just concerned if enough players will form teams for this since the pool is restricted to non pro players

What would be nice is if a new post was made at the top there.
Or if at least the one that is there listing events was updated.

I’m sure there are many teams not yet signed up but already sorted out.

We just formed a team yesterday and scrimmed two other teams today, all three of which are yet to sign up. Probably more teams in this position at the moment.

I can confirm there are many teams still yet to sign up. I know of at least 3 different teams that people in my guild are making that haven’t signed up which are all made of the top-tier players. I even was a sub for one of them in scrims yesterday so this shows that there are more teams who are taking this event seriously who still haven’t signed up and to think the three you know of and the 3 I know of are the only ones who haven’t signed up yet would be ridiculous.

So yeah, there is no need to worry about the number of teams.

Remember there’s no problem to signup now even if you are unsure about 1 player not being able to do it, you can make changes to the roster up to check-in so go go more teams!

+ to the top and hopefully stickied.

I just wish it was made after the season ended, was really looking forward to finally make a team.

I suppose I will learn german to see this on stream ^^

Well good to hear people are making teams in the background! Just an interested NA pleb over here, so all I’ve been able to see are the official team signups so far! Good luck to all competing!

Only reason we haven’t signed up is because we haven’t decided on a team name yet!
Are you able to edit it after signing up?

9 Teams now signed up!

Just a few days to go!

11 Teams now signed up!

Just a few days to go!

Updated original post with new links.

33 TEAMS SIGNED UP!

+ 13 more pending!

Less than 48hrs to go!

Less than 24 hrs to go until the first 5v5 tournament of 2017!

The tournament is starting within the hour!

Be sure to watch live on stream!

Great tournament after all.
Although 8h of non-stop streaming/watching is quite exhausting it was really exiting.

Furthermore it is a great example or answer to all those Threads: current state of pvp/classes… rotation issues and counters.
Let’s wait for the upload on youtube so everyone can watch it.

Added Vod links and more reddit post links.

GREAT TOURNAMENT!!
