June 4th, 12 PM EST

If you're not competing and you would like tournament updates, I will be keeping you notified every step of the way on this thread. For a live look at the bracket, visit challonge.com/auc. The bracket will be locked on May 28th, 2021. If you want to compete, you can STILL sign up your alliance! There are only two spots left however and only alliances with an elo of over 1000 will be accepted (excluding those already signed up or in contact with me about it). We can't wait for the tournament and we hope you feel the same way!

SIGN UPS ARE NOW CLOSED! If you still want your alliance to compete, you can contact me to be put on our waitlist. We will contact you if one alliance is removed due to forfeit, lack of active players, etc. If you aren't sure whether you have signed up, check the list above or go to challonge.com/auc. The bracket on the latter page will be locked on May 28th and will be created based off of the rankings from that day. For those currently signed up, we encourage you to join our Discord server, and to do so, mail me on Call of War to receive the invite link.
