KARDS 2022 World Championship: Open Qualifier Details

Attention, soldiers!

The Open Qualifiers for the KARDS 2022 World Championship are almost upon us!

The qualifying rounds will take place every weekend between September 10th until October 16th and are split into two sessions - giving you two separate chances to qualify for the next stage of the World Championship.



The Open Qualifiers are conveniently integrated into the client. All you need to do is log into the game to join the action!

When a qualifying session is active, you can participate in the qualifier and view your rankings from the World Championship hub, accessible on the game’s main screen.



Please note that in order to play in the World Championship qualifier, you must have reached at least rank 15 when joining your first session. Once you’ve played in a qualification session you are eligible for all future qualification sessions even though your rank might drop below 15.

• 15th of October - 16-20 UTC
  
• 16th of October - 12-16 UTC

Each player needs to successfully complete a minimum 3 out of 6 sessions to post a legal qualifier score.



Each qualification session lasts for 4 hours, during which a special World Championship qualifier queue will be available for the bravest among you!



Players need to complete at least 9 games during those 4 hours to successfully complete a qualification session. We also recommend playing a few extra games during the session, as these may improve your chances in the event of tiebreakers.

To enter a game, open the World Championship hub during a qualification session, press the battle button and select your deck for battle.

For each win during the first 9 matches, the player receives 5 points for the qualification ladder. For each loss in these matches, the player receives 1 point. A player’s final score is the combined total score from their best three sessions out of six sessions in the qualifier.



If players end up with the same score, a tiebreaker system is used to order them. This is based on several things, the most important being the strength of your opponents. Being matched against a very strong player might make for a difficult match, but will improve your chances in the event of tiebreakers, regardless of the match result.

For further information on the tiebreaker system, check out the full list of rules here: KARDS 2022 World Championship Rules
