Dear community,
Today I'd like to announce that the first Japanese AoC tournament since the Userpatch 1.4 is started using by Japanese players is coming to a close. As I wrote in this interview with PoJ players, there are a lot of Arabia TG players in Japan and the games are as good as TGs on Voobly, or maybe even better than those.
The final was played on Voobly Tournament Lobby on 19th April 14GMT, broadcasted by ZeroEmpires and iPhone5S_.
