AutumnFlux 2009: Registration Opens!! Seasons Combined, Prizes Powerup!!

[DOTASG_PAPA]

To catch up with the season, we hereby announce the arrival of our AutumnFlux DotA 5v5 tournament. This event is a continuation from SummerHeat (or could be also viewed as a combination of both seasons). Participating teams for AutumnFlux will be categorise into two distinct categories namely Open Category that has 16 slots open to all, and Amateur Category also with 16 slot opening only to teams meeting the criteria of less than 1601 in team's average ProPowerPlay points. Amateur category is created to encourage and gives average and everyday gamers the chance to participate in a real tournament event with the opportunity to experience and feel the excitement of a tournament. Not only that, they could test out their performance against players/teams around their playing level. And if they can perform above par in their category, they could grab the victory for top positions in their category and bring home cool prizes. 1st in each category gets to proceed on to the finals with event bigger prizes to be won. Of course the honor and title would be bigger. This season especially, the final champion will be crowned with the title of a double champion for the two season thus it's a rare opportunity not to be missed for all. Chance is everyone's hand for AutumnFlux 2009, signup now!!

Category Example

Player that was not ranked before starts at 1600 points. Average taken from 5 highest points members in the team.
Click here to check if you are ranked or not.

Because of the amalgamation of the two seasons, SummerHeat's qualified winners will still maintain their seeding, all they have to do is to make sure at least 3 of their team's original member are intact and their member have not given up his/her qualification by joining other team after. So together with the top winning team from each of AutumnFlux's two categories, these 8 teams proceed into the Double Elimination finals.
