kreatiir's "The Underdog Tournament" 2vs2-tourney

Hello fellow community members!

The Underdog Tournament, hosted by kreatiir, is reserved for 2v2 players who aren't (yet) in the toplist of the game. Therefore, all players that are in the top 10 ladder (1v1 and 2v2) will be excluded.
The Underdog Tournament is meant for unknown players, looking for time to shine.

We are happy to be sponsored by Airborne Ales, who contribute some of the prizes for us again. Thank you very much!
