A tournament... with a twist!

We also have one more surprise in store for you! In the final round of the tournament, we will be introducing a secret map that has never been seen before. This twist will test the adaptability and flexibility of the best players, as they must demonstrate their skills on an unknown battlefield. It's a chance for the ultimate champion to prove that they are not only a master of their favorite maps, but also able to adapt to new challenges and emerge victorious. 

Don't miss out on this exciting opportunity to improve your skills, make new friends, and potentially win big. Spots are limited, so register as soon as possible:
