How do you become part of this?

For those of you waiting for a big announcement, I have a big announcement for you!

One of the WC2013 invites will be contested in a Slugfest tournament, as pioneered by Caitlyn, and it will be starting in a couple of weeks. It'll be run in the X Days per round format as opposed to Pop-Up, so hopefully that means more people can do it.

Caitlyn will give more details at the appropriate time (when all rules/processes have been reviewed by the OOPS, Nahar) but the basics are that you need to select two human heroes and two shadow heroes to use in the tournament, so if you are not comfortable with two of each then now is the time to start preparing...

The max entrants is 128, and rating will be used to filter if more than 128 apply. Exception to this is if you have 260 rating or more - we'll go bigger to accommodate if there are more than 128 who meet that. (I mention this to give you chance to climb if you think you might need to.)

When the thread is posted, simply sign up.
