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!

* The grand prize winner will receive a $250 online gift certificate to any online retailer of their choosing, and a copy of Red Alert 3 when it ships, not to mention a glorious reputation!
* 2nd place will receive a $50 gift certificate to any online retailer of their choosing, and a copy of Red Alert 3 when it ships.
* The 3rd place runner-up will receive a copy of Red Alert 3 plus any EA game of their choosing.

* The 16 comrades that qualify for the ladder season championship will receive an automatic entry in to the first phase of the Red Alert 3 Beta Test this summer.

In order to participate in this ladder tournament you must own Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 and register your nickname on XWIS. Registering your nickname is as simple as logging in to Red Alert 2. Simply connect to XWIS by clicking "internet" in your game menu, and login with your desired username and password. Your password must be EXACTLY 8 characters long. Once you have logged in that nickname, it is automatically registered for you.

Once you play a ladder match, you can check out your stats and profile here!

More detailed information on the first Red Alert 2 Ladder Tournament will be forthcoming when we reset the ladders on April 1. It’s time to go old school Comrade, you could win big!

Who will be the first Red Alert 2 world-wide champion comrade of 2008?! Get ready to play and dust off that copy of Red Alert 2!

lol for all semi good players too remember it's not just the top 8 players;)
since the first group of top 8 can't qualify twice it gives more chance to the semi good players too^^

just for RA2, why not Yuris too, Wouldn't give that much of a fair advantage of good players on Yuri to get prizes.

It's called Red Alert 3, not Yuri's Revenge 2. ;)
