For the second year in a row, the 19 Twink Bracket will be hosting the 19 Twink Cup, the Largest Battleground Tournament in World of Warcraft! The tournament will take place July 31st through Aug 2nd! The Tournament attracts a variety of players, whether it be from the 19 Twink Bracket itself, to Rank 1 Players and RBG Teams! Last Year’s Tournament had 65 players involved, and this year is expected to greatly exceed these numbers! The current prize pool for this year’s tournament is $7,000 and growing! The winning team will receive the majority of the winnings!

The Tournament displays some of the highest level of teamwork and communication in all of PvP on a grand scale, focusing on positioning, team pushes, and variety of strategies! The majority of the tournament is based on how the teams face off in Warsong Gulch, with an Arena Tournament prior to the Battlegrounds to decide the seeding! For those players that embrace capture the flag, rejoice!

Players across the entire realm of Azeroth, now is the best time to give consideration to joining such a grand scale event! Take a break from Endgame, maybe PvE has been wearing you down, or you are simply interested in getting involved in the 19 Twink Bracket! The tournament has representation from all over the world and all corners of World of Warcraft! Last year’s games were streamed on multiple channels, with a similar intent for this year’s games!

I'm not sure what happened to the first thread, apologies for that.

I missed this event last year, but it sounds very unique and entertaining, so I'll definitely be watching as much as I can!
