Eye ARDA CUP Football 2012

Let the countdown begin!

Last season's Arda Cup was a thrilling tournament. Our very own Tol-In-Gaurhoth team made it all the way to the finals before falling to one of the great teams in the tournament's history- Thingol and Melian's star-studded Doriath squad.

And the Phantasy competition featured a squad nearly as dominant as Doriath- Gwath's Lynch Mob. Sir Gwath perhaps silenced his doubters last year as he won his second title, becoming the first Downer to win twice. Will he prove his greatness once and for all this season, or will another Downer rise up and prevent his impending dynasty?

We'll see. But here's the one thing that is certain- this year will be better than the last!!

We've added another layer to the tournament this year that we think you'll enjoy. It will provide more fodder for stories and help develop a more continuous feel from year to year, and it will also provide everyone with an increased rooting interest. You'll see it all come together soon enough.

As always we have a crack team of writers set to provide thrilling match reports and expert editorials on behalf of Arda Kicker Magazine (AKM), Middle Earth Sports Programing Network (MESPN), and The Two Towers Network (TTN), but of course other writers are welcome to provide their analysis as the tournament rolls along.

The teams and rosters will be revealed in the coming days, and the Phantasy Competition thread will start soon after that. That is where you will pick players for your team and make trades and such. But you don't have to worry about that for a bit.

The actual tournament will not begin for some time (not until April at the earliest), but in the meantime we will be slowly revealing the tournament and the teams involved through a series of articles. So, if you want to get a jump on predictions and such, just have an eye out for team reveals and such, and then of course the friendly matches just before the tournament starts.
