Gladiator Tournament for Purple Set

[Elegy]

I will be hosting a Gladiator tournament on Torchbearer on May 28th at 6 p.m. US Central time. The grand prize will be one full purple set (Soulbound Allegiance) and 6 enhancement converters (in case you don't want that set). Second place will be a pair of Glad Armor &  Panacea procs, third place will be a Panacea proc.

 

A few general rules:

[*]There is an absolute limit of 1 entry per player.

[*]If you are late to a match, you will automatically forfeit after a brief grace period.

[*]Entry will be granted on a first come, first serve basis. There is currently no player cap on the tourney, but if the sign-up pool gets too big, that's how I'll determine who gets in.

[*]Sign-ups will close Monday, the day before, so I have time to go through names and make a bracket.

 

A few tourney rules:

[*]Single elimination

[*]1v1's only

[*]No bans in the first stage, later stages may have bans, depending on tourney size

[*]Grand finals will be Best of 3 format

Here are some resources for gladiator fighting strategy:

All in all, after you've composed a decent team, gladiator fights are essentially a matter of winning dice rolls and being lucky, so this is just a for-fun tournament to get people badging. If you sign up, consider bumping the thread so more people will see. I will most likely host more events in the future, probably task force races or pvp, so keep an eye out. Have fun & thanks for signing up. If you need to reach me I am @Elegy in game and Elegy#0666 in the discord.

Sounds like fun! I shouted this out on my podcast and I hope you get more sign ups. Unfortunately I'll still be at work, but it's an awesome idea!

How did it turn out?  I have had a lot of issues starting Gladiator matches.
