[PH] Get Ready for the Cafe Tank Wars Tournament!

Tank Commanders in the Philippines!

Here's the situation: You're the best player you know. You demolish the enemy in any Random Battle you join - the ones you lose still sees you getting a kill at least, or three. You work well with others and you get the feeling you'll do pretty well in a tournament setting... but you don't have your own team.

If you're living in these three regions - Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao - you can finally stop dreaming and start making it happen!

The Philippines Cafe Tank Wars Tournament

The Cafe Tank Wars Tournament is an event specially organized for players who prefer to play in the cybercafes near them. Beginning with an on-ground Qualifiers for the first stage and followed by the Playoffs and Grand Finals (which will be held online instead), this tournament will offer players the chance to compete in a regional tournament while giving them the luxury of remaining in their neighbourhood.

With an attractive prize pool to win and the chance to be known as one of the best players in the Philippines, We're putting out the call for all interested parties to join in!

Tournament Phases

The tournament itself consists of three main phases: the City Qualifiers, the Playoffs and the Grand Finals. Starting from this weekend onwards, the tournament will begin with the City Qualifiers, where players based in several cities will assemble in the venue, register their teams and be seeded into matches against rival teams from the same city.

One thing to note is that players are not required to be in a team before the arrive at the venue; if you wish, you can find your future brothers-in-arms at the place once you get there and sign up as a group. The City Qualifiers will also be held in a different set of cities each week, so if your city didn't make the list today, just be patient, it might come up next week, or the week after!

At the end of the day, the best team in each city will be recognised as the city's Cafe Tank Team, who will play in the next stage: the Playoffs. The City Qualifiers will continue selecting each city's Cafe Tank Team until it concludes in early June, when the Playoffs will begin.

During the Playoffs stage, the teams will be seeded according to the tournament brackets, and will square off against one another. The ones that remain victorious will proceed towards the Grand Finals of the tournament, and vie for the title of Champion.

Tournament Details

Like any other tournament, we have rules to make sure everyone gets an equal chance to show their skills and have a good time. Here's what you need to know:
