2021 Arena of Arsha Best-In-Class Championship Qualifiers - Format

- The qualifiers will be a 1 vs 1 format.  

Adventurers who win in the qualifiers will advance to the Round of 8 stage.  

- To minimize any possible difficulties, a [GM] will invite you to a party. As such, we ask all participating Adventurers to not be in a party while waiting.

- Match Type: Team Match [Updated April 26 (Mon) 00:30 (UTC)]

We would like to address some questions Adventurers had regarding the match type setting for Arena of Arsha Best-In-Class qualifiers. The match type setting, Team Match, will be used for the qualifiers and Round of 8. In Team Match setting, the max HP will be reduced to 80% after 1 minute and 50% after 2 minutes has passed.

However, for the semi-finals and finals, we will be using the Individual match type setting. In matches with the Individual match type setting, the max HP of the players will not be reduced.
