The time has come for the return of the most popular player run tournament in the history of the universe; the Osiris Open.

The basics and the rules, which remain mostly unchanged, are covered in the 2016 Osiris Open thread.

This time, no entrance fee is payable. I'll be judging the entire tournament myself so as not to clog up vital judging resources, so commentary will be a lot more condensed but will instead highlight key points from each fight.

The prize fund will consist of a total of 5,000GP which will come out my own pocket and be split as follows:

1st place: 3,000 GP
2nd place: 1,500 GP
3rd place: 500 GP

Those of you interested, please register here. Registration closes on June 25th at 12am EST.
