Hello Rumblers!

The Studio Rumble 2016 tournament will soon start. The first thing we need to do is determine what to play. Cast your vote here. Voting ends May 3rd. Once a game is picked, we will enable team creation.

We've added "work email" as a field for registration. For existing members please navigate to your account profile and add your work email. Work email is required to validate industry status and give you site permissions to participate in tournaments.

Last year we had 44 teams participate! This year lets get even more! Spread the word, the more the merrier!

Discord is nice because we can use the web app, the phone app, or the stand alone client. Best of all, no more netsplits in steamchat ;)

Stream for the simi-finals will be available at:

or

Matches start at 8:30 PM PST today (Thursday).

The matchup is SAy My Name (Riot) vs Samurais In Disguise (Blizzard). Best of three.

Each team will ban a map. One team then another. Then the first team will pick a map to play. The other team will get first hero pick.

After this game, the teams switch on who goes first, the same process repeats except the previously played map is already banned.

Before the start of all of this, flip a coin, whoever wins gets to pick if they want to choose map or hero first.

Update: Pre-season starts July 26th. However, I will be leaving team creation and solo-queue signup open until pre-season ends. Teams made after the start of pre-season will be on the bottom seed, so:

Remember to create your team now!
