Today Morning officially marked the start of the Battle of Panipat 2014 1v1 Indian Tournament. 34 Indian players fight to be crowned the Champion of the warzone that moulded almost all of Indian History.
A little History to the Title:
There have been three Battles of Panipat:
The First Battle of Panipat (1526), between the Mughal Babur and the Delhi Sultan Ibrahim Lodi, resulting in a Mughal victory. This battle led to the creation of the Mughal Empire, one that would lead india for the next 200 years and change the very face of the country
The Second Battle of Panipat (1556), between the Mughal Akbar and Hemu, resulting in a Mughal victory, this was the battle that created "Akbar The Great", disputedly the greatest Emperor ever to set foot on the soil of Hindusthan
The Third Battle of Panipat (1761), between the Durrani Empire of Afghanistan and the Maratha Empire, resulting in a Durrani victory, a war that eventually led to massive changes in the southern region of India.

Sponsor's Shock of The week
In addition to everything else, the tournament shall be home to an idea developed by the sponsor called "sponsor's shock of the week", The players will have a map to play in settings selected by the sponsor that they will be unaware of until moments before the start of the game. Sponsor's Shock of the week shall be home to settings that might be beyond wildest imaginations in many cases and thus shall be a tribute to thinking "Out Of The Box"
Once again, thanking the Sponsor, Voobly, the Players, Staff, and everyone that has helped make this tournament what it is so far,
With Regards,
