A word from Ting:



"We’re excited to be back sponsoring the best eSport out there and working with the legend himself, Nathanias!



This 2v2 event is the first of its kind, and we're psyched to a part of this memorable tournament.



We'll be giving away unlocked smartphones and GSM SIM cards during the stream, running a bracket prediction contest and more.



If anyone has any questions about Ting or the addition of our new GSM network, please comment and I (ActionJesse) will be here to help.



Cheers!"



Hey guys! I've been talking for a while about putting on a big sponsored tournament, and here we are! In the last month or so a few cool 2v2 events have come up and I've decided to make an attempt at further legitimizing the scene as both a competitive space that viewers find fresh, but also one that doesn't get in the way of progamers practicing for solo tournaments such as WCS. It's been a long time in planning but I'm very excited to work with Ting to make this happen.



The general gist is simple, 4 invited teams (TBA) will compete against 4 qualifiers (top 2 of each open bracket run on the dates listed on the above graphic). We'll then have a group stage where teams duke it out to give us a final 4 bracket to become the undisputed 2v2 champion team. The prize split for the top 4 2v2 teams is as follows

Any 2v2 mapmaker that wants to flirt with me for a final addition to the pool is more than welcome to prior to the first qualifier. Your map must be available on all servers in case teams agree to play outside of NA for any match.



If you have any questions feel free to ask me here or on twitter @Nathaniastv . I'll be travelling to Sweden today so please don't be surprised if I don't respond until tomorrow.
