Tournament Recap
- September 1v1 (With an AI Teammate) Random All Tournament
- This tournament is a 2v2 tournament with a twist, every game you go the random leader option and each team has a legendary AI (also using the leader random all) on their team instead of the usual second human player (Because who trusts them). THIS MEANS YOU DO NOT NEED A PARTNER AND CAN SIGN UP BY YOURSELF.
