Forts Tournament XXIV

G’day Forts fans!

Are you ready to crown a 1v1 High Seas champion?

The new High Seas team strategies were on full display last tournament. Now it’s time for the best individual players in Forts to show what they can do. Will they dare go for early orbitals without a teammate backing them up? Are deckguns the new old reliable? How will the High Seas weapons play out on vanilla maps? Join us as we find out together!

Tournament XXIV will be a High Seas 1v1 Deathmatch tournament. And for our friends in the EU we’ll also be starting a few hours earlier this event so more of you can participate. To that end the tournament date is set for July 2nd at 1PM ET, which would be 7PM CET. We’re planning for between 8-16 players, and either double or single elimination depending on turnout. As before, we will also be extending the match time limit to 20 minutes. Hosting the event will be Bobereto, Frazzz and Project Incursus.

On to the details.

Will there be qualifying

Not this time. With the earlier start time we’ve made spaces for up to 16 players.

Single Elimination or Double Elimination?

This will be based on the final number of participants. If enough players register to warrant single elimination the finals will be best of 3, time permitting.

How will players be seeded?

With High Seas being new and no competitors having an established High Seas record, seedings will be based on aggregated results from Tournament XXIII and the most recent ranked season.

What maps will be used?

Selected From Scratch High Seas and standard maps.

What about commander bans?

Yes, we will have commander bans this tournament.
