2v2 Tourney Registration Update

Current and Potential Tournament Participants: Attention Please

Starting immediately, we are going to be applying the following updates to the rules and regulations of the current, summer 2v2 tournament registration:

• We will be removing the SSS Rank requirement from the Tournament
• However, players will be required to hold at least E Rank or higher
• To accommodate the aforementioned update, the Official Elsword 2v2 Tournament Registration has been Extended 1 Day

A brief explanation as to why these changes are taking place:

Because of the prizes that are on the table, we wanted to insure that serious, ranked Elsword PvP players had an opportunity to truly battle it out for some great prizes. Originally placing the SSS rank requirement on registration was one of the ways we’d be able to insure that those who have demonstrated a massive level of dedication to competition would have a shot as some cash and K-Ching. It wasn’t until later that we’d recognized that the entry barrier was way too high, and something we need to bring down to a suitable and realistic level that’s catered to a precedence we’ve kept before.

We know that it wasn’t too long ago that many Pro PvP players refused to wear an Arena Rank. Not necessarily out of spite, but because the focus was on Sparring, and a more level playing field. Though the Star Rank is quite the trophy to achieve, it’s not the only way to display an insanely amazing level of talent in PvP.

The PvP bracket has a lot of talent on it as we speak, but we’d like to open the roster up for those that don’t have the SSS+ ranks. We ask that you have a ranking (E or better) so that we can track your character and Job Path.

We’re extending the Registration cutoff until Tuesday Night, August 28th 23:59 PDT (UTC – 7).

We are far from perfect, and sometimes our ambition runs astray from the best way to execute an idea. But we learn, and we’ll adapt.

We sincerely apologize to any of those that feel as if the registration requirements were too high, or would take too much to gain in the period allotted, and we hope to see you at the tourney.
