**This is a BAC tournament. The use of BLC is mandatory.
This tournament is the second of three Badlion Diamond Series qualifier tournaments, here is the link to now info regarding the Badlion Diamond Series tournaments. This tournament acts as a means to gain access for your team to the fourth and final invitational tournament with a $5000 prize pool.
We will be inviting the top 2 teams from each of the tournaments above and then reserving 2 spots to invite 2 other specially selected teams. If a single team places in the top 2 multiple times we will then shift down the position to 3rd place, 4th place, etc if needed.
Each tournament will require BLC.
Failure to attend this tournament may result in your disqualification in future tournaments, so only sign-up if you are certain you can attend. The matches will take place on the North American proxy.
