The link to the discord server where the event will take place is below (if you’ve never joined this discord server before, please be sure to enter it at least once before the tournament starts!):
At least 1 hour before the event begins, participants will be granted access to the World Discord Cup related channels within the English speakers section of the above server. Please try to login at least 10 minutes before the event and say “Here” in the worlddiscordcup-chat channel of the World Discord Cup section to confirm your participation.
The format will be Swiss Draw, 3 to 5 rounds depending on number of players, and each match will be resolved by best of 3 (each match will consist of up to 3 games, until 1 player wins twice or the timer runs out). Please note that if not enough players show up, we may switch to a Round Robin format. This tournament will not have any player elimination, so all players are welcome to play in all rounds regardless of their match results.
With the release of English Set 6, we will undo the nerf applied to the ruler 〈2. B – Berserker〉 (so it’s deck points is increased back to 120 from 100). On the other hand, the nerf applied to the ruler 〈EX – II. Exvader〉 for the Japanese version of Gate Ruler, which reduces its max Life from 16 to 12, will go into effect for the English version starting this tournament. Thank you for your understanding.
Please note that only cards currently available in English are legal. Cards that do not have an English counterpart available are not. (Cards in Set 6, the Gedo Beat starter deck, and the new level 4 cards in the Japanese Special Booster are now all legal!)
