The Game of Empires: BF3 Nightcup CQ 6x6

In anticipation of the Battlefield 4, we decided to organize a series of exciting nightcups in the Conquest 6x6 format with certain rules that in our opinion will add some spice. This format was chosen not by chance. It combines the full-scale infantry battles with the support of heavy ground enginery.

Four nightcups are planned, and the winner of each will be awarded a cash prize. Afterwards the four winners will compete with each other for a more valuable prize. See further information on the tournament below. All questions and suggestions for the upcoming tournament are welcome in comments to the news.
