A few weeks ago I was pubbing with some other Balions on some battle server and I watched as Ron Burgundy slew foe after foe with his mighty use of the Bamboo Spear. He and Suriell explained to me that they employed a tactic--better yet, a fighting style--known as "The Way of the Bamboo."
This tournament (as inspired by my witnessing Ron and Suriell's deadly use of the Bamboo Spear) is a bit of a twist on the traditional dueling tournament format. More of a contest of arms in The Way of the Bamboo.
Basic Rules:
- This is a North American tournament. EU players are welcome to sign up and compete, though.
- Single elimination.
- First to 7 duels.
- Bamboo Spear is the only viable weapon.
- Though armour is completely optional, the only pieces of armour that are acceptable are the 1st tier body armour, gloves, helmet and boots:
- Duels must be fought within a week. Disputes about scheduling and (in)activity will be ressolved by me through PMs or Steam.
Server/Map Rules:
- Any server set to Duel mode is acceptable, so long as it's agreed upon by both duelists.
- Since this is an NA tournament, all NA vs. EU duels must be played on a suitable East Coast duel server, unless the NA player pings higher than 95, in which case a more appropriate server may be chosen.
- Any map is viable so long as it's available and agreed upon by both duelists. If the duelists (for whatever reason) don't agree, the duel will be fought inside of the ring on Arena.
