Automated tournaments are thrice daily and monthly tournaments for GvG tournaments. Guilds who place highly in daily tournaments are awarded tournament reward points to redeem for in-game prizes and qualifier points for qualifying for monthly tournaments. Daily tournaments cost 5 Tournament Tokens per guild for GvG to enter.
Tournament mechanics[]
Guilds are divided up into random groups of up to 32 for up to five rounds of Swiss play. Following this, the top eight finishers continue on to single-elimination play to determine the tournament winner. Matches played during daily tournaments will affect your guild's rating on the GvG ladders; matches in daily tournaments have a K-value of 25 and matches in monthly tournaments have a K-value of 50.
The winner of the tournament also receives 8 qualifier points and each finisher below that receives one less, down to 8th place receiving 1 QP.
