Every year, we and our partner CATAN Studio look forward to hosting amazing tournaments and events with our community. We care deeply about these events, but we care even more for the health and safety of our community. As such, CATAN Studio is following the government’s recommendations regarding the spread of COVID-19 and has suspended all CATAN qualifier tournaments until June 1.
