The Season 11 Crystal League Championship is coming up very soon and we hope you’ve polished your weapons and dusted off your boots in time for this! All teams who won one Level 9 match or two or more Level 8 matches (with the same 5 characters) are invited to participate, with a bunch of brand-new and valuable prizes at stake.

Here are the details which have been confirmed:

GENERAL INFO

  • The Championship will take place on the following dates:
    • Saturday, March 6
    • Sunday, March 7
    • The exact timings will be confirmed at a later date, but are likely to be similar to the previous Tournament
  • Battles will be full loot and players will have to bring their own gear
  • Matches will run on shorter timers to provide more flexibility on match slot times. Specific times will be allocated to the teams prior to each match. Teams should be prepared to play matches back-to-back if so required

STRUCTURE

Full details regarding the match structure (ie. double elimination, best-of-three, etc) will be announced after the Season 11 Crystal League Level 9 match, when the actual number of participating teams are known. In general, the Championship will run as follows:

Saturday, March 6: Group Stage

  • IP Softcap 1500

Sunday, March 7: Semi-Finals, Match for Third Place & Grand Finals

  • IP Softcap 1700

Note: For all matches across March 6-7, each round won delivers Level 3 off-season rewards

  • Participants have to use the same team (same character) that played in the Season 11 Crystal League Level 8 & 9
  • Each team can allocate one substitute in total for the entire Championship

  • All matches must be initiated via Energy Manipulator in Martlock (special tokens will provided to the teams prior to each match)
