Players representing Asia, North America and Europe, and South America take part, competing under identical conditions with no growth gap. Gamemeca said they are judged on control, teamwork and understanding of classes. The winning team faces the Korean team in the Colosseum tournament Legend Match. [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]
The servers that will reach the World Championship finals are decided in online regional tournaments running from Oct. 23 to Nov. 1. In the World Championship, two servers each defend their base while attacking the opponent's gate, the mid-boss Guardian Sigrun (수호자 시그룬) and the final target, the Nexus, in order. The first to destroy the opponent's Nexus wins. If no winner emerges before the time limit, the result is decided by points from kills, stronghold captures and structure destruction. The winning server then meets the Korean team in the Legend Match. [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]
Applications for the Korean team are accepted on the official Legend of Ymir website until Nov. 4. Wemade will select a total of 250 players by combat power ranking and announce the result on Nov. 6. Further details are available on the official website. [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]
