We have teamed up with the crew at Mistpedia once again to bring you another opportunity to vie for the ultimate prize – a legendary weapon!

Signing Up

To sign your team up for Tournament of Legends 2, click here! Sign-ups will close on June 30, 2014. The final day for roster changes will be July 7.

Format

The Tournament of Legends is a single-elimination conquest PvP tournament consisting of teams of 5 players. The first 2 rounds (which will have 32 and 16 teams respectively) of each qualifier will be best of one. The remaining rounds of the qualifier will be best of three. Teams will be evenly distributed between the four qualifiers with a maximum of 32 teams per event (subject to change), meaning that your team only plays in one qualifier event. The top eight teams from the qualifiers will move on to play in the Tournament of Legends Championships in August.
