• Sign-ups are open from NOW until June 29 9am PDT / 6pm CEST.
  
• To sign up, find a teammate and form a party. After you're both in the party, have one player type "/signup [team name]" (e.g. /signup Snail Kings) in chat. You should see a confirmation message that your sign-up went through. For those who participated in previous Nova Cups, you no longer need to do /join to signup.
  
• The first 16 teams to sign up in each division can participate. For division 1 and 2 the top 8 teams are drafted per division. Other teams are waitlisted. There are usually no-shows, so waitlisted teams are encouraged to be present in the Discord and ready to play. View the team list to see your sign-up position and division.
  
• If there are more than 32 teams checked in, there will be an additional best-of-1 qualifying round to allow more teams to participate. It is a best-of-1, rather than a best-of-3, to keep the event from running overly long.
  
• Both players must join the Legion TD 2 Official Tournament Discord. Make sure to set your server nickname to match your in-game name.

• You may sign-up as a solo with a suggested team name using the "/signup [team name]" command. Solo teams will be added to the Public Teams list, then be formed into teams on the day of the tournament. Solo teams will be randomly assigned a team name from either of its members.
  
• If there is a waitlist, team sign-ups will always take priority over solo sign-ups
  
• If you sign up as a solo, but then you find a teammate, you can re-sign up as a team any time before check-ins start. Just use the /signup command again with the new teammate. The tournament organizer will void your old solo signup after they process your new team signup.
  
• After check-ins are over, all checked-in solo players will be randomly formed into teams by the tournament organizer. You cannot request a specific teammate at this point; if you want to play with a specific person, you should have signed up as a team instead.

It is still strongly recommended to sign-up as a team to guarantee your spot in the tournament and to give you time to practice with your teammate beforehand.

This post will be updated with June hotfixes, with the most recent at the top.

(July 3)

Classic-only balance:
- Reverted previous hotfix where all summoned units' decay time was decreased
- Crabling & Pincer decay time now scales inversely with number of units alive; this significantly nerfs Crab spam/overbuilding without hurting the standard usage
- Wave 21+ Indomitable: Double stacks --> Triple stacks

The goal of these changes is to reduce lag and crashing in Classic. We have other changes planned next patch for Crab Warlock from a game balance perspective.

(June 27)

Crab Warlock
- Synergy with mana effects reduced by 17%

Starcaller
- Mana regeneration reduced by 7%

Froggos
- No longer decay
- Damage: 30 → 29
- Bounty: 6 → 5

These changes reward players for upgrading from Crab Warlock to Crabomancer.

Classic-only
- Summon decay time (seconds): 20 --> 30

Partially reverting the previous hotfix, since the above changes should do the job better.

(June 18)

Major Fixes
- Fixed a bug with Tower Defense mode where rolls weren't being rolled

Balance
- 4v4-only summon decay time: 25 --> 20 seconds
- AI: Witches are now more likely to be sent in PvE on Wave 21

(June 17)

Major Fixes
- Fixed a bug where a mercenary would randomly get stuck in the sender's own lane

FairPlay
- If you cause Match Canceled while in a party, any party members that have abandoned the game are now also punished in addition to you individually

This is intended to mitigate some cases where parties were intentionally dodging games, but not being punished sufficiently.

Crab Warlock / Crabomancer

(June 5)

Crab Warlock / Crabomancer

(June 5)

Crab Warlock / Crabomancer
- Attack speed decreased by 12%
- Mana cost increased by 10%

This fighter's balance is tricky to get right; rest assured we'll continue to hotfix asap as needed.

(June 5)

Crab Warlock / Crabomancer
- Mana cost increased by 23% (Nerf)

Minor Fixes
- Hopefully fixed a bug where some summons (like the new unit) mistakenly had their icons display on the tab scoreboard
