To all of the proud Vikings of Strand,
Are you brave enough to face the most honored of your fellows in battle, and prove by axe and bow who the most powerful faction of Strand is ? If so, write down your name and brace yourselves, for the fight will be fierce, and can only have two outcomes : Glory or Valhalla !

See brackets in the post below.
Matchmaking rules :
When matches are announced in the tournament thread, it is up to the players to take contact with their opponent and arrange for a match. The details of the how the match is undertaken is at their discretion (as long as there is prior agreement between the players, anything goes - best of 3, sudden death, ranked or friendly, etc ; with the exception of the championship match. If an opponent is a no-show for 1 full week, they will be considered forfeited (if you really can't participate, please try and forfeit willingly before that !). Results are to be reported ASAP in the tournament thread.
For the championship match, the winner of the loser's bracket will not have a disadvantage. It will be best of 3. It would be nice if one or both of the players would stream it. When playing best of 3, changes in build are allowed between matches.
Recommendations :
- detailed match reports are encouraged !
- streaming of matches (esp. high-profile ones) is strongly encouraged ! (for those worried that your opponent will watch your stream to see your RoAs and whatnot, you can always capture a video and put it up later).
Notes :
- Nothing is set in stone yet, if you have requests about the tournament format or rules please do speak up.
- This post and the couple below will be updated as the inscriptions and the actual tournament progress.
- No particular contingencies against fraud are prepared. I am counting on everyone's honorable behavior (there's no reason for it to be otherwise).
May the strongest and most cunning win ! They shall bathe in mead, and drink from the skulls of their opponents !
