40k ITC Online League In Full Swing: Here’s How To Join!
All you need is to have Tabletop Simulator and the Discord app on your PC and you’re ready to rock and roll. Over on his YouTube channel, Tactical Tortoise shows you in a video on how to join the league.
Here’s what you’ll have to do:
- Join their 4-week 40k ITC tournament pod on Discord. (you ask to join a pod in a channel and they’ll throw you in a group of 16 people where you’ll be swiss paired to do matches).
- Brush up on your ITC 2020 rules as that’s the format being used.
- Download the ITC Ruins map pack for TTS (this will be the terrain used in-game).
Once your games start rolling, the top three players in each pod will be invited to the season’s invitational tournament to crown the GREATEST VIRTUAL 40k PLAYER IN THE WORLD.
