Nimzo’s Competitive 2v2 Tournament – October 5th at 18:00 UTC New units! New balance! Optimization! With so much exciting development happening in PA, it’s about time to showcase the players. And what better format than a tournament? Unlike my casual 1v1 tourney, this one is open to all skill levels. Bronze to uber players, and even those who are unranked, are all welcome to join this tourney. Don’t feel comfortable playing all on your lonesome? No worries! Teams of two will fight together to the end. So whether you’ve been here since alpha or you’ve never played a tournament before, come join the excitement of this event! Format: Single Elimination (Knockout) Tournament; teams of 2 players will register prior to the tourney and participate together in each round. Shared armies will be enabled!
