This tournament is inspired by the TO; Capture The Flag series.
In the year 2867, a scientist and historian - known only as Professor X, was foolish enough to create time portals throughout history, bringing back the 5 warrior factions whom he thought were the most fearsome throughout the course of history: the Knights, Pirates, Romans, Samurai, and the Terracotta Warriors. (We might question his choices, but it is what it is.)
The world soon descended into pure chaos, and what was dubbed "World War X" ensued as the warriors swiftly eliminated all humans who stood in their path - till only they remained. After years of endless battling across the globe with no decisive victories, the 5 factions finally agreed to settle the score through a mode of battle that was introduced in more recent times - Capture The Flag.

Tournament Setup
[spoiler]The tournament is split into 2 phases.
Phase I: Capture The Flag
- Each player will play a total of 16 matchups - 4 against each of the other 4 warrior factions.
- Each matchup will begin on the neutral battleground of no man's land on the Classic map.
- The player who wins the neutral matchup infiltrates the opponent's home map and attempts to capture the flag, while the opponent defends it.
- If the player wins on the opponent's map, he scores a flag capture point for his team.
- A General Achievement Medal will be awarded to the player with the most Flag Captures in Phase I.
- After all matchups are complete, the faction with the highest number of flag captures moves on to Phase II.
Phase II: Raise Your Flag
- With your faction now victorious, you now have to declare your faction's dominance by raising your flag.
- Each round, players within the faction will be randomly placed in matchups against each other on your team's home map.
- Winning the matchup earns the player 1 flag raising point.
- The first player to reach a total of 10 flag raising points manages to raise his faction's flag, and wins the tournament.
