So if im from the UK i cannot join?
No, this tournament is open for NA only due to sponsor.Originally Posted by IlikeTurtelz
how will you prevent higher tiered players from playing? One could easily lie about their MMR.
And what about people playing on friend's accounts to play in the event?
(and what are the punishments if you do, the rules don't mention anything regarding it).

Signing up now - thought I was done playing HoN games but this looks like fun. BAND OF 1500's - UNITE!

I'd love to play in this, if 4 others would like to join me?
Even so, this is amazing for the HoN scene. 1k for amateurs? Super sweet. But like haddon said, how would you prevent smurfs?

I'm sure that will be solved pretty quickly once it is pointed out to them.

This is awesome and I'm grateful towards whoever made this happen. Regretfully I can't play myself.
We'll check up the players to confirm their MMR. It won't be as easy to tell if someone plays on a friends account though. But if they break the rules regarding anything about MMR or smurfs, it will result in a instant DQ. We are taking the amateurness on this tournament very seriously.
<3 just wondering how you were dealing with it - was going to steal it for our tournies, still don't know how to deal with people on friend's accounts.
^_^ Best of luck with this one!
Just as a suggestion, I believe S2 have in the past been willing to perform IP checks on accounts that tournament operators are suspicious of. So for example if a 5 man team of 1600s were 15min conceding a bunch of teams consistently you could ask S2 to check IP logs of players and see if, after the start date for the tournament, new/different/inconsistent IPs were logging into the account (obviously this runs into difficulties with dynamic ips)
Yes, this is a valid point. We will take anything suspicious really seriously. But yeah, dealing with players playing on friends account is probably the hardest thing when hosting an amateur tournament.
Uhh what time does it begin? I'd love to join but i'm working in the morn.
Noees, this looks like so much fun, and then its only for NA players ;(
should be an easy buck for clan milk.
Registration still open. Sign up your team!
Really hope that someday you can expand this to more than the NA. But always nice to see some amateur tournaments, and good luck to you guys participating in the tourny!
If we can't get enough teams to sign up, we'll open for EU as well. The only issue with that is that they won't be able to recieve any hardware, due to the sponsor being NA only.
Is there no time set for when the event actually begins?
