With an announcement of upcoming end of the Arena Season 1 and beginning of the first Seasonal Arena Tournament, there were questions rising. In this article, we would like you to bring you the details about Arena Season and Tournament. 

Arena Season details

As we already stated in the previous news, officially, Arena Season 1 ends on October 26th at 6:00 PM CET. With an end of the Season 1, we are going to run so-called "off-season", in which you will be able to score additional Weekly Arena Flush and items that previously required Team and Personal rating only requires Arena Points to be bought. Arena Season 2 will start after "Off-Season" ends and with it the following PvP resources will be reduced:

1. Arena Points - Players will be able to keep up to 1000 Arena Points.
2. Honor Points - Players will be able to keep up to 12500 Honor Points.
3. Marks of Honor - Players will be able to keep up to 15 Marks of Honor from each Battleground.

You will be refunded with an ingame currency for every amount of reduced Arena Points, Honor Points and Marks of Honor with a converstion rate that will not impact the general economy of the realm.

In order to be able to get any tournament/end of arena season rewards at least 30% of total team games throughout the season is required together with personal rating difference not being bigger than 150 from your team rating. Additionaly each player in a given arena team has to play at least 50 ranked matches between September 26th and the 26th of October 6:00 PM CET in arena bracket they want to get the reward from.

Seasonal Arena Tournament details

We are going to host Seasonal Arena Tournament matches on a separate tournament realm that only invited players will have access to. Despite the rumors, your character gear won't be copied from the live realm. Only your character name, faction, race, appearance and class, talents and spells at the time of snapshot will be copied. Please change your talents and specialization earlier if you will not be able to do that on 26th of October! You will be able to purchase the prepared gear with 2.1 itemization from gear vendors on the realm. It will not be possible to reset talents or change individual talent points in a given talent tree during the tournament.  

The tournament will follow a typical knockout format with a loser bracket. Each team will be seeded based on its position in the ranking. Matchups will follow the "best of 3" format. Final matches will be based on the “best of 5” format. All matches up to semi-finals per bracket, will be held in one day, please reserve yourself some free time!

Only 1 team composition per team is allowed, meaning only 2 players for 2v2, 3 players for 3v3 are allowed to enter the tournament realm. Only 1 healer per team is allowed - if you played with two healers in the bracket, one will have to change to DPS spec. All qualified teams will receive private e-mails to e-mail addresses that your accounts were registered with. In order to successfully enter the tournament, it is absolutely necessary to follow provided instructions and rules. 

The semi-finals and finals will be livestreamed and commented. The tournament progress will be available to follow on our website.

The Arena Tournament will determine the distribution of Season 1 Gladiator title. It will be held in between 27th of October 2020 and 1st of November 2020 (TBA). 

• 2v2 bracket will include top 16* teams based on their rating at the end of the season.
