CP REWRITTEN, United Media Headquarters – The community-run ‘AUSIA Arena: Winter Edition’ tournament has officially launched, with the qualifier battles taking place this weekend. The United Media, a CP Army Network & CP Army HQ joint collaboration, will be bringing you full coverage of the entire event.
The AUSIA Arena: Winter Edition is the first tournament of 2022, and will be highlighting the incredible Australia-Asia members of the community with a traditional tournament format, for the first time since the 2020 Aces of AUSIA. This tournament will once again be hosted by the participating army leaders, with a small staff team organising the administrative efforts.
The tournament will feature four rounds over a period of three weeks, starting on Saturday, January 22nd. With 11 armies participating, this traditional straight knockout tournament will see the winning army advance into the next round. The judging will be taking place on the dedicated Discord server.
