Thanks for your interest in playing in The Rektreational 2: The game’s industry’s Dota 2 tournament. We’re a casual/for-fun league, and we’re excited to try some new stuff this time around. This tournament is going to move much faster than the last one – most notably, we’ve ditched Double Elimination and set it across just 5 days. It’s going to be two fun, crazy, busy weekends full of Dota, and we’re thrilled you’re looking to join us.

Here’s how it’ll work:

We’ll kick off Saturday July 11th and Sunday July 12th. We’ll take a break the following weekend because of EVO 2015, and return to wrap up Rektreational 2 Fri/Sat/Sun on the 24th, 25th, and 26th. For convenience, we’re going to favor a Pacific time zone schedule, with matches beginning as early as 9am. Rule 7 of Fight Club applies.

The tournament involves 16 teams selected at the discretion of our illustrious management. We’ll announce the 16 teams in the first week of June. If you aren’t selected, don’t take it personally – we’re expecting quite a few team applications, and we’d love to include you in Rektretional 3 if we can’t fit you in this time!

Want to apply? Awesome. Just a couple things before you get started:

- Please only apply if you’re available during all of the Rektreational 2’s days

- We’ll be assigning teams match times, and winners are expected to be available as they advance through the tournament.

- Only apply when you’ve got a full team of 5 players

- You are welcome to include 3 substitute players in your roster, but they cannot also be playing/standing in for another team.

- Deadline for application is May 31, 2015 at 11:59pm PST.
