I'd like to announce a rather large addition to the prize pool:
Naughty Dog/arne will be donating one signed TLOU:R steelbook.
The way I will assign this prize is this-one player from the winning team will be chosen, at random, to receive the steelbook. I thought maybe to base it on points earned in game, but I think that would encourage play styles that would be detrimental to the competition.
Also, with that, I've decided that since most teams have signed up for both brackets that they will be combined into a more in depth tournament. It will no longer be single elimination, and will involve both game modes. I will update the OP soon with details as to how all of that will work. This change will allow more interesting competition, I think, as well as an increased prize pool for the winners, since there will only be 3 winning teams rather than 6. I hope this doesn't dissuade anyone from wanting to compete, and I apologize for the sudden change. If you have any questions, PM me or post in this thread.
Thanks everyone! Hope you all are looking forward to it.
