SOE’s Battle of the Legends tournament at Comic-Con

Sony Online Entertainment is holding a weekend tournament at Comic-Con next week. Fans will play DC Universe Online to become a legend, working to win prizes and a chance to create a character for the upcoming MMO.

Here’s how it’ll go down: Teams of two will go head-to-head in a latter tournament, heroes versus villans. The two finalists will battle in an arena for the title of Next Legend. Your progress will be tracked on the DCO website, Twitter, and Facebook, so don’t mess up.

If you win you’ll get a chance to create an official in-game character. You’ll also nab a prize package that contains an autographed poster by Jim Lee, an Collector’s Edition game pack and a 30-Day Game Time card. Both finalists will also get a copy of the game at launch on either PC or PS3.

Register by July 18th to get in. Email [email protected] with your name, age, address, ranking of PVP availability (novice, intermediate, or master) and one sentence explaining why you want to be the Next Legend. Entrants will be selected at random via lottery and notified of their eligibility for the tournament by 5:00PM PT on July 19, 2010.
