This weekend I am hosting a 5v5 Tournament for RvB. This tournament is to be live streamed (on Twitch) and commentated. Currently RvB’s own Thecla Elarik, and the great Ceofore Aideron are signed up to commentate. We did have two more, however apparently studies and getting your insides cut open are more important to those people.
Anyway, this is a VERY last minute call to anyone who would fancy joining Thecla and Ceofore in commentating the matches. Check out the rules, prizes and so on below. Schedule is here, get in touch if this interests you with a slot you can fill in to commentate.
You can get an idea of what you are in for by watching a tournament from earlier this year, that was ran in the same way. Videos are here and here.
