Comrades, Strike Team and Electronic Arts Los Angeles are teaming up for the next 3 months to host the first official EA sponsored Red Alert 2 Ladder Tournament in over 5 years! What better way to get pumped up and excited for Red Alert 3 than to kick it old school with the Soviets and Allies in some good old fashioned Red Alert 2 action! This ladder tournament will be officially hosted by Strike-Team using the XWIS servers (the official EA sponsored WOL servers for Red Alert 2), with all prizes sponsored by Electronic Arts Los Angeles and the Red Alert 3 development team!
The Red Alert 2 Ladder Tournament will be a 2 month long season starting this April 1 culminating in a 16-man bracket championship in June where one man, or woman, will stand as the first world-wide Red Alert 2 champion in a very, very long time.
QUALIFICATION DATES AND DETAILS
* April 1 – Qualification Period 1. The Red Alert 2 XWIS Ladder will be reset. At midnight on April 30th, the top 8 comrades on the ladder will qualify for the championship tournament.
* May 1 – Qualification Period 2. The Red Alert 2 XWIS Ladder will be reset once again. At midnight on May 31st, the top 8 comrades on the ladder will qualify for the championship tournament. Anyone who qualified in Period 1 may not qualify again. We will take the next sequential ranked person in the ladder should this happen.
* June 7 & 8 – The Red Alert 2 Ladder Tournament Grand Championship will take place online using the XWIS servers. All matches will be “Best of 3” on a predetermined multiplayer map. The last comrade standing will be our world-wide champion!
PRIZES!

It's called Red Alert 3, not Yuri's Revenge 2.just for RA2, why not Yuris too, Wouldn't give that much of a fair advantage of good players on Yuri to get prizes.
