Join us on WW2's Eastern Front, where every battle tells a story.










· Note, because you can re-enter Quali Tourneys that you lose, there may be one, two, three, or four "Contenders" that do not make it to the Overall Semi-Finals.

• If there are 4 different Contender Bout losers, they will win $75 each
  
• If there are 3 different Contender Bout losers, they will win $100 each
  
• If there are 2 different Contender Bout losers, they will win $150 each
  
• If there is only 1 Contender Bout loser, who managed to lose all 4 times and never qualify for the Semi-Finals, or is simply the only guy that didn't go further, that hard-chinned fighter will receive $300

Each Contender Bout and the Championship Title Fight will be a Best-of-Five game match. Maps will be chosen by veto, and played as follows:

• Games 1 & 2: Last map standing from veto process
  
• Games 3 & 4: Second-to-last map to be vetoed
  
• Game 5 (if necessary): Third-to-last map to be vetoed
