Nirvana's got his hands on a set of beta keys for Blizzard's upcoming Hearthstone. Rather than giving them away or letting me hock them on Ebay, SC2SEA have decided to hold a 2v2 tournament for two of the keys, along with some well deserved bragging rights.

Interested? Simply find a friend (or someone you don't like, we don't actually care) and follow the information below.

• Tournament kicks of at 6:00PM AEDT on Sat 12th October. Chat channel for the day will be SC2SEA 2V2. Report results to either Nemesis or Arnor.
  
• All games are to be played on the SEA server, unless both teams agree to play somewhere else.
  
• Matches will be BO1 until the round of sixteen, from which point on all matches (including the final) will be BO3.
  
• Games will be played on the current team game ladder pool. Teams will take turns vetoing maps until only one map remains. The team on whose name is listed first on the Challonge bracket (which will be randomly seeded) picks first. If the series is BO3, teams alternate first veto. The same map cannot be played more than once in a series.
  
• Rules are subject to change before the beginning of the tournament.

To sign up, leave your team details including team name as well as each members SC2 account name and ID number. Bonus points will be awarded for inventing a creative team backstory!

Signups close at 12:00PM Saturday. Sign up quick!

1st: A Hearthstone beta key for each team member

2nd: A firm, yet not overbearing, handshake from Arnor

Have fun!

We are also looking for additional admins for the tournament. If you'd like to help out, let us know!

Team Name: TEAM SPARKLES

and our motto is: WE WILL SHINE FOREVER

We were born on Mount Olympus, on a Sunday. The clouds parted and rainbows bounced directly into our souls as we grew strong. Envied by the Gods themselves, we live with the mortals, but we have super powers. We fight crime, and give to the poor. And then fight the poor and turn them into sparkles. At will, our minds converge into one, giving us comprehension and understanding no 2v2 rivals can ever match. Glistening in the sun, we rain our terror down upon our meagre opponents, who are blinded by our radiant brightness. We are:

Member one sparkle: Adamhlt.131
Member two sparkle: mrlando.903

thank you and please.
