The first Kotaro Invitational is all set for tomorrow: September 2nd, at 5 PM CEST.

We will be streaming all matches from the tournament live from http://twitch.tv/axieinfinity

The format of the tournament is as follows:

We will be using a World Cup style, single elimination bracket.

The challengers!

Each match will be best of 3, except for the Grand Finale which will be best of 5.

When a match begins, each player will select a team to send to battle. After the battle result is revealed through our live stream, each player will have 1 minute to adjust their team/positioning/move order before the next round.

If a player is a no-show, they will have a team randomly selected from 3 “default” teams that they designate before the tournament starts.

Good luck and may the spirit of Kotaro’s father guide your Axies in battle.
