eXodus eSports is proud to announce Big Bang[exodusesports.com], a new 1v1 tournament for Planetary Annihilation. Can you make the biggest boom, qualify for the finals[exodusesports.com] and win from the $300 worth of prizes on the line?

Participation is open to all players, no matter your skill level. But only for the first 64 players to apply[exodusesports.com], after that you’ll be put in the reserves where you’ll be eligible to take the spot of any player who is a no show.

The tournament will be split in two. The qualifiers will consist for eight groups of eight playing a round robin. This means every player will play seven games. At the end of the games the top player from each group will proceed to the finals[exodusesports.com] which will be held one week later.

Sign-ups[exodusesports.com] will be closed 24 hours before the tournament begins.

Make sure that you’ve read through the rules, meet all the tournament requirements and put this into your diary. You don’t want to miss out just because you can’t handle time-zones. Given the amount of money at stake we will be enforcing the rules tightly, so ensure you are familiar with them.

Our thanks to Uber Entertainment who have generously provided a number of commander codes for this tournament.

I’M NOT SURE I’M GOOD ENOUGH

All are welcome no matter their skill level, and some of the best players in the game today come from humble beginnings. You’re guaranteed seven games, will get a chance to play a variety of players from bronze to uber, and may even get your game cast live. And who knows, perhaps you’re better than you think you are. Tournaments were made for upsets.

If you play ranked then you’re already practicing for this event since we’ll be using ranked maps for the qualifier games. If you’re not playing ranked, well then now is a great time to get started!

Once we hit the finals it will be all custom maps. Time to see how you adapt!
