KARDS 2023 WC: Live Drawing Stream for Knockout Stage Groups!
about 1 year ago
Hello, commanders!
Following six intense weekends of fierce battles, the open in-game KARDS 2023 World Championship qualifiers have concluded. 113 skilled warriors emerge victorious from qualifiers A and B, joining the ranks of the 15 already pre-qualified players, making up a total of 128 contenders who now face off against one another in the Knockout Stage.
The next leg of this epic showdown promises a fresh set of challenges for our valiant competitors. The Knockout Stage starts with a group stage, which leads into a 32-player double elimination bracket where players compete to become one of the last 4 standing. Those 4 players then battle it out during the Grand Finals in Iceland in December for their share of the $12.000 prize pool and the title of KARDS World Champion!
The Knockout Stage
For those of you that made it - huge congratulations! You've shown your mettle, proving yourself to be among the most successful players in KARDS, demonstrating immense skill and impressive dedication. Expect an email from us with the vital intel for the next stage of your mission.
The next stage of the tournament is the Knockout Stage, where we go from 128 players to the top 4 over the course of two intense weekends of KARDS play. The first part of this stage is played in a round robin group stage, with 16 groups of 8 players, where the top 2 players in each group advance into a 32-player double elimination bracket that will bring us to the final 4 players.
The round robin will take place on October 21st, with the 32-player double elimination round on October 22nd. The top 6 in the double elimination bracket face off against one another live on stream on October 29th, when we find out who will be the top 4 players making it to the Grand Finals in Iceland. Players will have the chance to change their decks between each section of the Knockout Stage. Check out the full schedule below.
Important: If you are qualified, please make sure that the email address associated with your account is up-to-date so that we are able to contact you with details on the next stage. This will require action from you as the remainder of the World Championship will be played outside the game client. You can check the email address associated with your account by going in-game, selecting options, and clicking “Account”. If you need to update the email address associated with your account, you can do so on the KARDS website, by logging in with your account on the top bar, navigating to your account settings, and selecting “Change email”.
Live Drawing Stream
On Friday, October 13th at 16:00 GMT we will be live from the bunker to do a live drawing show for all the groups, broadcast on the KARDS Twitch and YouTube channels. Make sure to tune in to find out what the groups will look like!
Following the live drawing, we will also publish the groups in a Steam article, shared on the KARDS Discord server.
Open Qualifier Rewards
As promised, the top 500 players in each of the two open in-game qualifiers will receive the exclusive KARDS 2023 World Championship card back. This card back will automatically be added to eligible accounts, which we aim to deliver shortly before the World Championship Grand Finals - no further action is required from your side.
