If you’ve been following our schedules, you’ll see that we’ve been doing try-outs for our Clan Wars tournament over the last week.  After all the chaos and the crazy times, we’re done.  Clan Wars is becoming a reality.  We’ve each got a list of names in our pockets; the names of the people we’ve chosen to go forth and do battle in our names.

Of course we’re not going to tell you those names yet.  Now that we have our players, it’s time to pick our teams.  We’re heading down to LA today, where we’ll spend the next two days at IGN Live playing, competing in tournaments, and speaking on panels.  Somewhere in all that craziness, we hope to sit down and politely duke it out over which players we want for ourselves. We’ve got 16 teams to form and this weekend to do it.

Next week we’ll make a grand announcement, with all the accompanying fanfare, of who we’ve chosen.  Then we’ll work on getting you all together for a few practices.  Then we’ll throw you in the pit and let you fight it out for fame and glory and shiny gadgets!  Don’t say we never did anything nice for you.
