VICTORY! - NED

Hey, everyone! I finally had the motivation to complete everything I needed for this project to start.

KEEP YOUR EARS OPEN is a spiritual sequel to EYES ON THE PRIZE, a minitourney I ran in Coded Collisions and other such servers. However, I had more ideas that I wanted to work with, and wanted to flex my creative muscles even more... so, with sixteen new competitors, and an aesthetic LOOSELY based on the MILGRAM series on YouTube, here we are.

I'm excited to show off what I have in store, more than you could EVER imagine, so here's a sneak peak at ROUND 1 of the tournament. Enjoy!

Oh, and for those of you already following the tournament, I've made a few alterations and buffs to the characters:
