Postseason Prizing

This season, we’ve curated our postseason prize pool based on feedback from former participants, viewers, and the overall general community. We’ve bumped up the overall amount of crowns, added in some of the newest bundles, and sprinkled in a few nice surprises.

As always, members of the league will automatically receive a participation prize in the form of a $10 Pet Jewel Card (redeemable for 5,000 Crowns or 1 Month Membership), in the event that they do not reach the postseason.

Throughout 2024 and beyond, we’ll be carefully adjusting these rules over time based on gameplay trends within the tournament, and within the Ranked 1v1 ecosystem. While we can’t stop KingsIsle from implementing updates that impact the tournament, we trust that they’ll make changes that benefit the entire PvP community, and we’ll inform players of any impacts as they occur.
