Bungie Announces Myth II Tournament With Cool Prizes
Update: The registration page is linked off of the main Bungie.net home page. You can find it here.

The good people at Bungie dropped us a note to announce a very cool Myth II tournament called Seven Phoenix Rising. As usual, Bungie is offering very cool and unique prizes with a great story line for the tourney. According to Bungie:

"Let armor be polished and Mandrake roots gathered! The first Bungie-hosted Myth II: Soulblighter tournament, Seven Phoenix Rising, has been announced and is open to all comers.

Seven Phoenix Rising lets players take part in the legendary test of fighting skill by which warriors compete to join the ranks of the elite Heron Guard. The winners of this tourney will be immortalized in the Myth community, for the six finalists will lend their names to the Heron Guards which appear in the next Myth II map to be released for download from bungie.net. The six finalists will also win a print of the Soulblighter painting autographed by artist Craig Mullins. The Champion will win a terrifying not-quite-life-size sculpture of a Myrkridia, useful for home protection following Y2K.

The tourney will make use of some of the unique multiplayer possibilities of Myth II, such as the ability to change game parameters with difficulty levels. Thus, at higher levels of competition, the difficulty of the terrain and initial forces will increase.

The tourney is now open to 810 registrants and closes Thursday, March 4th. Round one begins March 13th and the final round of six contestants will take place March 20th.

For more information, and to register for the tourney, surf to our web site."

As of this writing, there was no direct link to registering on the official tournament page. We are awaiting word back from Bungie on this and will post an update as soon as we get it.
