G’day Forts fans!
Is everyone excited for another Moonshot event? By popular demand our 25th official tournament will be 2v2 Moonshot Team Death Match. And to commemorate this milestone we will be awarding Steam gift cards to the winning teams. Aspiring captains fear not, there will be many more High Seas events to look forward to in the future but in XXV we’re shooting for the moon!
Tournament XXV will be held on September 10th at 1PM EDT and hosted by Frazzz and Project Incursus. Please note that the registration process has undergone some changes. Registration will not open until September 3rd at 1PM in order to give everyone an equal chance to enter.
