The DM Revival Cup is a rolling event series to provide the community with practice opportunities until Age of Mythology: Retold releases.
They will exist alongside the Meta Plays seasons, but have no main event to qualify to, and are funded by sponsorship activities via Nakamura's Twitch channel. $100 and 1000 Meta Plays Points are up for grabs.
The purpose of these events is to provide practice to the community until Age of Mythology: Retold releases.
The tournament will begin on May 26th, and players must complete 1 round per week at a time of the players' choice.
The winner finals, losers finals and grand finals must be live streamed.
Seeding is an admin decision. Future events will be seeded based on Meta Plays Ladder Points.
@Nakamura is the manager for this tournament. For any questions, concerns or requests, please reach out to him on Discord, or @ him in the comments here (if not urgent).
