Hello!
We are excited to announce that the EAS9 Warlord Tournament will be held this July!
While the full details are still being polished, we wanted to share some preliminary information with you.
APPLICATIONS
Applicants must maintain their Warlord rank until June 22nd. Additionally, you must select one of your Warlord-tier classes to register for the tournament, and all matches must be played using only that registered class.
Applications must be submitted as a Trio of 3 Warlords, regardless of Solo/Duo or Flex queue status (Duplicate applications are not permitted).
The tournament will feature a Regional round of 8 (8 teams, 24 players per region).
If applications exceed 8 teams per region, selection will be based on the combined rank points of the team members.
Applications will open from June 22, 2026, to June 28, 2026.
SELECTION CRITERIA FOR EXCESS APPLICATIONS
Teams will be selected by adding up the individual rank placements of all team members, with the lowest total points (highest combined rank) being selected first.
Example: Solo/Duo 2nd place (2 points) + Flex 8th place (8 points) + Flex 20th place (20 points) = Total 30 points
TIE-BREAKER RULES
Based on the ranks from the applications, priority will be given to the team with the higher minimum rank compared to the opponent.
For example, Team A (Solo/Duo 1st, Solo/Duo 9th, Flex 14th) VS Team B (Flex 4th, Flex 7th, Flex 13th), Team B will take priority because their lowest rank is 13th, whereas Team A's lowest rank is 14th.
If a tie still persists, the team that submitted their application earlier will be selected.
