Why should you sign up?
"You should sign up for this tournament because it will be good fun and a good way to introduce yourself to Death Match (if you haven’t really played it before). What’s more, you could win a hour or two of training from a 2k+ player, which, if you’re 1600-1800, could be very beneficial to your gameplay. It might also give you a chance to play some different maps, particularly the Random Map turned Death Match maps that will be used. It’s not an excessive amount of games, and I’ve tried not to make it too repetitive. In my opinion, it’ll be a really fun, interesting tournament." - [SpitFire]Blotch
