<*>Invites will go out April 11th. Tournament will start April 15th and last until April 21th.
<*>Invites will consist of top 16 on the leaderboard. In case a qualified player cant be reached or is not interested in playing, the next in line will move up.
Structure
<*>16 player double elimination bracket.
<*>RO16 of the upper bracket will be BO1. Quarterfinals and Semifinals of the upper bracket will be BO5. Finals will be BO7. All other rounds including all lower bracket rounds will be BO3.
<*>Brackets will run via Challonge.com. Players will have to create an account there if they dont own one already.
Rules
<*>All players who confirmed their participation + backup players are required to enter a seperate tournament discord that will be used to schedule matches.
<*>The bracket will be generated by the standard seeding method. In the RO16, #1 will face #16, #2 will face #15 and so on.
<*>Players will have 5 days, Monday to Friday to play their matches up to the semifinals and are free to schedule them with their respective opponents to their own convenience.
<*>However, all matches are required to be casted by a tournament admin / official caster. Players need to take this into consideration and work with casters while scheduling.
<*>All games starting from the semifinals will be played consecutively on the following weekend. Day (Saturday or Sunday) and the start time are free to be decided with the respective players as long as it is a reasonable time for the viewers.
<*>The first map of each round will be picked by the lower seeded player, after that it is losers choice. The map pool consists of the ranked pool.
<*>Players will pick their faction for a game after the respective map is known to both players.
<*>If the faction selection process doesnt go smoothly, for example if no player is willing to pick a faction first, players will pm their desired faction to the caster in discord. Once the pm is sent, that faction is locked in and cant be changed anymore.
<*>Players are not allowed to play the same faction back to back. Example: In a BO3, Wildlanders, Wildlanders, Necromas is not allowed. Wildlanders, Necromas, Wildlanders however is legal.
<*>Exception: Players are allowed to pick Random at any time, for example to gamble on getting their favorite civ two times in a row.
<*>Each player is allowed one restart per Round. The restart has to be used within the first 90 seconds of a game. No reason has to be stated.
<*>Every game lobby has to be hosted by a caster.
<*>In case of a disconnect, it is up to the tournament admin to decide if the game will be restarted or if the game was, at the time of the disconnect, favoring one player to such an overwhelming extent that a restart is not reasonable and a win will be given to that player.
<*>In case of continuous connection problems / bad ping / disconnects by one player, it is up to the tournament admin to hand out a technical loss.
<*>Generally speaking, the tournament admin has absolute authority and the last word in case of any sort of dispute or controversy.
<*>Smurfing is not allowed. Players are not allowed to enter the tournament with more than one account or an account that is not their main account and / or does not use their usual nickname.
<*>Players who have been involved in any sort of malicious exploiting or similar behaviour before since the start of Warpartys Early Access are not allowed to participate.

One of our goals for the full PC release of Warparty has always been to provide those who prefer some action-packed PvP over Singleplayer content with a thriving playerbase and a satisfying experience. Therefore, we are stoked to announce that Warcave will be hosting a 1vs1 tournament with a prize pool of $1000 shortly after release.
But wait! If it’s an invitational tournament, how can I participate, you might ask. The answer is simple: The invites will go out to the top 16 players of the Warparty leaderboards (which of course will get reset on release day to keep it fair) on April 11th, at 12 midnight CEST. The tournament itself will start April 15th. So shape up, jump right into the matchmaking and secure yourself a spot to compete for the prize money.
Additional information regarding structure and rules will follow soon.
See you on the battlefield; for one chief shall rule them all!

Online Multiplayer Support for Xbox, PS4, Switch
Hello everyone! Yet another announcement!
We are extremely happy to announce that Warparty for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch will also feature Online Multiplayer for up to 4 players. Expect it to be available on release day or shortly after release via a patch.
After announcing the release on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Switch, we received an overwhelming amount of positive feedback which was great to see. However, people also voiced their concerns regarding the lack of Multiplayer on consoles. While most of you were very understanding of our reasons for that decision, it became clear pretty quickly that the demand was quite a bit bigger than we expected. So, after a lot of consideration on our side, we decided to put in the extra hours and work on implementing Multiplayer for consoles after all.
We want to thank you once again for your continuous support over the past months. A quick reminder: If you enjoy Warparty and have not done so already, please consider leaving us a Steam Review. It will help us a lot for the upcoming release.
