We are getting ready for Stage 2 of the World Championship! Read more about the World Championship 2019.

• Six sessions spread equally over three weekends (Oct 5-6, 12-13, and 19-20).
  
• Each session runs from 16:00 to 20:00 GMT.
  
• In each session, you score points:
  
  • The first nine matches in each session determine the session score.
    
  • A win gives 5 points, a loss gives 1 point.
    
  • Every match in this session beyond the initial nine matches counts towards your tiebraker score.
    
• The scores of your three best sessions determine your rank of Stage 2.
  
• In case of equal scores, then the tiebraker score will determine your relative position and final rank.
  
• The 64 best ranked players of Stage 2 will proceed to Stage 3 (the tournament).
  
• A live leaderboard is available in game.
  
• Read the full details of Stage 2, including calculation of the tiebraker score.
  

We invite you to broadcast on Twitch and to share your exciting matches and unique experience on Twitter with hastags #KARDS and #KWC19.
