Hey Duelyst Fans,

It's time for a tournament update! Last week we announced that we were partnering up with the fine folks at Battlefy to be our exclusive platform for competitive play.

Let's take a moment to discuss what that means for Duelyst.

Creating Tournaments

Are you an aspiring tournament organizer with a really cool tournament idea? Do you have an idea for an event that would get your fellow players pumped to play? Or simply have no clue how to start and host your own tournament?

Don't fret, our partners at Battlefy have hooked you up with a super user-friendly submission form, tailored just for Duelyst!

Visit their Create-A-Tournament page and follow the steps to completion to create your event. If you still have questions, they also have a helpful guide to set up your event with free community prizing.

"Did they just say free prizing?"

That's correct! Any events that are approved by Battlefy will be supported with official Duelyst prizing. We have a ton of prizes ready to be given out, all you have to do is make a tournament event!

Participating in Tournaments

What about the other side of the coin, playing in tournaments?

We're happy to announce that we'll be supporting two different veins of tournaments, Hardcore and Casual.

CASUAL

Casual Rewards

Casual tournaments are aimed towards newer players and fun formats. These events are restricted to players ranked Gold and below to ensure that you have a fun time playing with your peers. 

Whether you're an aspiring top-tier tournament player or a newcomer looking to make a few friends, this is your avenue to grow! As shown above, the rewards here are focused on Orbs to help expand that collection while you refine your skills to take on the best of the best.

HARDCORE

A-Tier

Hardcore tournaments are your traditional competitive events aimed to show off the best Duelyst has to offer. Anyone is welcome to join, but newcomers beware, this is where Diamond and S-Ranked players come to test their mettle.

There are various rewards based on the tier of the tournament being played, all of them containing cosmetic rewards. We know that the players who join these tournaments already have their best decks assembled and their skills and strategies fine-tuned, the only thing left to earn is the cool cosmetics and most importantly, the recognition of being the best!

All that's left for you is to find a tournament, so check out the approved Community Tournament Listing!

Trials of Mythron Launch Tournament

In addition to community tournaments, we'll be hosting an Official Duelyst tournament with Battlefy (more information on the site).

Practice your matches and clean up your decks, this open event will feature different prizes such as tournament skins, keychains, and plushies.

We're super excited about this opportunity and can't wait to see our competitive scene grow and flourish - so join a tournament today!

I like where this is going. But I have some minor questions though. What counts as promoting a tournament on social media? Does promoting on the forums count for example? How many vods does someone need to reach the b-tier level of prizing?

Social media is Facebook/Twitter (forums and reddit are discussion platforms - you may as well promote here but there’s not as much traffic).

For most of the questions go ahead and ask the team in charge (email them at duelyst@battlefy.com)

Also don’t forget to read the guide - it covers quite a bit of information outside of this article.

would a meme deck tournament be still hardcore if i wanted everyone to be able to play and get money?

Yes, I really don’t want to advertise it as casual even though it’s for everybody, I legitimately hate the term hardcore for this as it makes it look like everyone who plays it are E-sport proffesionals.

@ThanatosNoa is there sideboards in the mythron tourney? Is it standard, and how does 2 general conquest work, do I need to switch every game I win? Or every match?

From what I’ve read, there isn’t a mention of a sideboard so probably no sideboard, nothing to say its standard cards only, and you switch generals when you have won with that general.

#17

as far as I’m aware you can switch even if you lose, you just have to switch when you win.

#18

Just going to keep referencing this, because I don’t really do tournament support anymore :sweat_smile:

Ask Battlefy, but I’m pretty sure you can’t (conflict of interest)

Considering this is an official tournament, you don’t play Duelyst with Sideboards so Sideboards shouldn’t be allowed (iirc). Stuff like this :point_right: ask Battlefy.
