In a series of mini tournaments organized and powered by HardMode.tv, the HardMove Clan Wars begins its premier tournament, entitled First Blood, in September with $1,000 in cash money up for grabs. Signups for First Blood begin on September 1st.

Teams who have been invited to participate in First Blood include Danish outfit Denmark Copenhagen Wolves as well as Slovakia Storm Games Clan, and with registrations opening during The International, expect interest in the tournament to swell with new up and coming teams popping up on the block.

At least ten more of such mini tournaments have been promised with a similar prize pool of $1,000, although the dates of future editions have not been released as of yet.

Teams who are currently playing in Clan Wars can also receive a direct invite to the tournament when First Blood goes live. Signup details can be found here.

More information about the tournament, such as the tournament format, number of participants and prize distribution will be made known closer to the end of August.
