Introduction
Greetings challenger. I am Koroua, and this is my gladitorial arena on the wonderful planet of Geron. Here, you will take part in a series of battles against other legendary champions, seeking the greatest of prizes. Do you have what it takes to become a legend? Come now, test your might!
This tournament is a little bit different, as we will only be inviting top players from different regions who have done remarkably well at Local tournaments (ONLY Top 5 players). If players drop out prior to the tournament, we may open up others to join. The point of this tournament this time around, is to get a better sense of the Expanded meta as most tournaments right now consist of a large number of players of varying skill levels. Selected players will be required to give proof of ID and PTCGO name. Code to join tournament will be then given.
_Once you are given your opponent, I (Koroua) and the judges will assign you to a voice channel room where there wil be a judge to help you start the game. Hence why there will not be "check in timers" as you will check in with the judge instead.
