i made the post on the discussion thread but i figure more people would check this more often than the lan thread.
if you think your team is good enough to play in and will be able to attend the upcoming BTS event then feel free to sign up.
the qualifiers are this upcoming weekend (oct 5th-6th) starting at 9am (subject to change), further info about format and ruleset will be revealed on Monday.
~4 teams will be awarded the ability to bypass stage 1 and will be allowed directly into playoffs, if you are interested in this, then, please signup by sunday night if at all possible and contact me on steam or discord (boxcar#2397) or tsc on discord (tsc#0386) with your teams placements in recent lans and leagues, as well as any other questions you might have.
good luck!
