There has been many Ghost Mode players before to host Tournaments and perhaps it’s about time for me to pitch in to the GM community. Ghost Mode has been at a rapid decline in popularity throughout the CF community and majority of Ghost Mode players have gone inactive due to it as well. So let’s try to kick off the New Year with a little Tournament. The Tournament will consist of a 3 person team(3v3) Hopefully with the help of some reliable friends, I can actually pull this off and everyone can have a great time and earn a little reward on the side. In order to even try to organize a Tournament we’ll have to have plenty of teams contending. I don’t want to waste my effort for no one to sign up. Remember, there is no fee to sign up, it’s completely free! Tell your friends, put together a team, sign up! Even if you’ve never had Competitive experience in the field of Ghost Mode. it’s a great opportunity to get some experience and freshen up on your Ghost Mode skills before the MOTG 2018! Who knows you might win! Stay humble, refrain from cheating, and have fun!
