Hi everyone,
I'm very happy to announce the 2nd TA Tournament taking place on Saturday, the 21th of May (3pm GMT/UTC).

Registration is now open, please use this thread:
http://teamarena.forumieren.com/t25-...t-registration. You can also find more detailed information about rules, schedule etc in other threads of that forum.
A forum account is not necessary.

Please note that we have limited the number of participating teams to 16 only. Afterwards you will be able to sign up as a backup team tho (1-3 teams are likely to be replaced until the day of the tournament).

Changes made since the last tourney:

1. New map.

After thorough discussions we have decided to use the Uncharted Isle. We wanted a map which wouldn't force teams to totally rely on skills like Return/Shadow Walk but which still also can reward good position play. The borders of the battlefield (marked red in picture below) are also clearly marked by the 3 staircases.

2. Rule changes

Due to the recent dervish-nerfs we have decided to drop the 1 class restriction rule.
We also made a few more minor changes, you can view the complete rules section here: http://teamarena.forumieren.com/t4-tournament-rules

3. Changed Schedule

The group size got reduced to 4, therefore we'll have less waiting time and things should run more smoothly. Also there's not going to be a lower division anymore which means that only teams on positions #1 and #2 will advance to K.O.-phase.
For a better tournament overview we will use the site www.challonge.com.

There's gonna be some prizes for the winners (entry fees) and a lottery for non-winners (Everlasting Phantasmal Tonic sponsored by Shisha).
We'd also like to hand out Zaishen Keys again but we'd need some donations for that

Feel free to ask any question here or contact me (I Mishra I), Superbad Jan or Puella Splendida ingame.

Whut about shovespike?

Mishi · May 03, 2011, 02:21 PM // 14:21

You can play shovespike if you want, since the map is very small I don't think it'll be too OP.
Dervs might be more of an issue but we want to see how it's gonna go for once. Last time teams were allowed to bring a derv too but I didn't see many who did. If it's not going to work we'll introduce that rule again in the next tourney.
Also, isnt't it exciting to see how TA meta would look like today?
