Clash of Kings World Cup
Mobile games are making their mark, and even the publishers of casual games are getting in on the competitive action. Elex Tech has announced rules for the upcoming Clash of Kings World Cup that begins on September 18th. Opening ceremonies for the event in Los Angeles, California will be on September 16th.
If your alliance wants to participate in the Cup, it will need at least 100,000,000 power, twenty members (15 in the starting lineup and 5 substitutes), and no more than 2 foreign members. Each match will be 90 minutes with a pre-made configuration for every player. Points will be earned through buildings and successful combat, and the team with the most points at the end of the round wins.
The global tournament is divided into 16 divisions, allowing alliance leaders to sign up for a division. After 8 rounds of group matches, the teams ranked top 2 in each group will be the final top 32, representing their division, and will enter the single elimination tournament. The final 2 teams will come to Los Angeles for the offline showdown called The Savage Siege.
