Anyone want to win 20,000 ICE? How about 40,000 ICE??!!!
The VGL Bracket Challenge is back — and this time you can enter your picks for both your NA bracket and EU bracket for a chance to win up to 20K ICE for each bracket!
This concept will be quite familiar for those who watch March Madness and study the sweet science of bracketology. But for everyone else, here’s how it works:
HOW TO PARTICIPATE
- Print out or mark up the NA bracket and/or the EU bracket. (Use whatever’s easiest to fill it in, whether that’s writing on a napkin, Photoshop or an annotation app, whatever that is.)
- Predict the winner of each matchup, all the way through the finals. This will become less and less reliable as you stack prediction upon prediction.
- REMEMBER TO CIRCLE THE TEAM YOU THINK WILL WIN THE FINALS!
- Fill in the tiebreakers: Add in your guess for the end-game score of last match of the finals and which player will be the MVP of the NA finals. (You can click on teams in the online bracket to find a player for your winning team.)
- Tweet your bracket(s) with hashtags #vainglory and #VGLbracket.
- Brackets must be tweeted before the VGL Round of 32 starts on Sunday at 10AM PST in order to qualify for the contest. There’s no excuse to get the Round of 64 wrong! Just watch the matches!
HOW WINNERS ARE DECIDED
- ONE POTENTIAL WINNER FOR NA AND EU EACH: If anyone tweets a perfect bracket (predicting every winner correctly all the way through the finals) and has a more accurate tiebreaker than anyone else, that one person will win 20,000 ICE! Note: You can have a perfect bracket without correctly predicting the tiebreaker. That is only a tiebreaker in the event of multiple perfect brackets.
- GUARANTEED WINNER IN NA AND EU (if no perfect bracket): If no one has a perfect bracket, then the person who predicts the most matchups correctly in NA and separately EU (and wins any tiebreakers) will win 10,000 ICE. That means someone is guaranteed to win at least 10K ICE!
- You do not have to fill out both NA and EU brackets! They are separate contests.
You have nothing to lose and potentially 40,000 ICE to gain! So, fill out your NA bracket and EU bracket now, get your friends to do the same, and see if you can either win the grand prize — or have the best bracket in your group or guild! Half the fun is trying to best your friends. Good luck!
If you’re not sure what a filled-in bracket should look like, here’s an example:
