November 2011 Oceanic Challenge

We’re excited to announce a new monthly tournament series that we’re calling “Challenges,” a 64-team single elimination tournament that will offer teams a chance at being crowned Challenge Champion for the month.

Aside from that, winning the tournament will also net each member of the team a nice sum of gold, providing ample reward for toughing it out over the field of competition.

Today we’re announcing the November 2011 Oceanic Challenge, targeted at our players in South East Asia and Oceania. We’ll have additional details on a Challenge for players in North America next week.

If you’re ready to participate, you can do so by heading to the registration page. Sign in to your account and click the “Create your team” button if you’re looking to form your own team. If you just want to apply to join an existing team, simply head here and browse the list of available teams. Click the “Join Team” button and your application will be submitted to the team captain of that team.

For those signing up, keep in mind that this tournament is intended for Oceanic players; its schedule will be based on prime time for Oceania, not North America.
