Season 15 Wrap Up

Congratulations to Code of Misconduct for winning their final match versus 5 piece combo, and thus advancing to the Division 1 finals! A lot of awesome games were played this season, and now only the finals remain for Division 1 and Division 2. Stay tuned for the announcements of these matches, for they should be epic: Division 1 will feature a rematch of Code of Misconduct vs T-shirt goblins, and Division 2 of California Burrito vs Shoobs.

 

Grand Open Tournament

A reminder to all: the signups for the Grand Open Tournament cut off on Wednesday, December 4th, so be sure to register your team by then! This tournament will take place in a double elimination format as the previous Open Tournaments did in the Group Stages, ending in BO5 matches for the semifinals and a BO7 finals. This tournament will feature a prize of $600 for first place winners and t-shirts for the runner-ups, so if you want to experience some amazing games, register your team!
