€1,000 SteelSeries prizes to Bloodline Champions!

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

If you haven’t heard, Bloodline Champions is the new, thirsty kid on the block. If you dig fast-paced PVP’ing, then you will love this new game where developers Stunlock Studios have put focus on short cooldowns, no grinding, farming and even no mana, to put complete focus on the duel itself.
