The tenth edition of the Initech series is going to be the biggest yet. Like all Initechs, it will be sequential, flat rate, chained and foggy. This Initech will consist entirely of terminator games and will have 4-rounds, with each round taking place on progressively smaller maps with fewer amount of players involved. I give you… Initech X: World Termination!
This tournament is going to not only take a long time to recruit for, but also a long time to play. So, please be patient. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to post them. Otherwise, all relevant details are below…
