We are happy to announce the Unreal Tournament Pre-Alpha Duel European and North American ladders are open and ready for you to sign up! We have enabled the normal challenge mode in which players can manually challenge each other. Second, we included the matchmaker, a system where you can enter or accept a match at any specific time. Check out the ladder and see what else you can do. As soon as we have more active players in the ladder, we will activate the instant challenger. This allows you to find an opponent with instant matchmaker in the evening.
