With absolutely zero restrictions in place, this is our most competitive regular tournament open to everyone and anyone good enough to win is entitled to all the fame and honour it brings!!

If you are a caster or an organiser who would like to help in some way to this event by casting the games or helping organise the brackets, please send the Head Admin Paroxysm a pm here with the following application info.

where and when do i sign up?

[nirvAnA]

Signup links appear on the day of the tourney itself about 1 hour before it starts to prevent no shows. (AND we still get 2-3 no shows every time lol)

So just refresh the page 1 hour before it starts, the link will be in big red font on the news, u cant miss it.

[Brultze]

I'll be practicing for tonight!

[Micksterzone]

Is there a tourney this week? (20th)

[Eddie]

Code S Finals 7pm SGT on Weds, so if i had to guess, no. Probably back the week after.

[nirvAnA]

Community Opens are on hold at the moment, wait for the next season of SeaSL to start and join the Code A tournaments!

Code A tournaments are basically the same as COs, but i gues the standard is alot higher.

Anyone apart from code S players can join and prize is well, quite a bit more!

[Roz]

i kinda miss COs because now other than code S matches, there's nothing for us to play =(

[Micksterzone]

So, there is no more community open tournaments?

[nirvAnA]

it might start up again this coming wed
