The Global Blind Colonel Tournament

The Global Blind Colonel Tournament will be a week-long event in which every participant tries their hardest to bring down the ultimate enemy, Colonel Schwarlitz Longhener, and sing to him his final swan song in impenetrable barrage glory. Will you be the challenger fierce enough to take him down? Apply here: https://forms.gle/hWM5bPvfLYFmBAmw5

A separate form will be made for the Chinese community in order to prevent firewall mishaps.
Applications will be scanned by a committee of organizers helping to run the event. If you have been accepted, an invitation will be sent to you through a direct message.

Although this is being referred to as a "tourney," the participation rules will be pretty relaxed; the main goal is for everyone to have fun trying to take down the Colonel. The event will span from October 14th to October 21st, roughly 10 years after the original event took place. You are not required to stream on any platforms however video recording is encouraged and may be required for tracking any personal bests. Any further questions should be directed to either alicenobodi or iruenn on discord, the two main hosts of the event.

死ぬがよい.
