With the Red Alert 3 Beta seemingly drawing ever closer something has stirred with a classic from the Command and Conquer series.

A new EALA backed Red Alert 2 tournament has been confirmed and is due to start on the 1st of April. Strike-Team are using their XWIS servers (the official EA sponsored WOL servers for Red Alert 2) to host the tournament that will last two months.

Prizes will range from a spot in the Red Alert 3 beta to a $250 online gift certificate and a free copy of Red Alert 3 when it ships.

To take part you simply have to boot up Red Alert 2, go to the internet tab and chose a nickname and a password (8 characters exactly) and you will then be good to go!
