Hello Lumia Island survivors,
We are excited to announce the Eternal Return National League, a region-based Esports tournament being held in Korea.
Despite being a national event, we're grateful for the enthusiastic support from fans everywhere. We are committed to continually developing this into a Premier Esports event.
You can find out more about the upcoming 2024 National League, which starts next week and the Esports Support Bundle and Team Support Bundle below!
§ 2024 Eternal Return National League Format
The league will consist of an 8-week regular season followed by a one-day final. Each team will compete over 12 rounds spread across two days each week, with weekly rankings determined by the total points scored across these rounds. Teams will earn "National League Points" based on their weekly standings, and the Season standings will be based on the total of these points after 8 weeks.
Teams can earn bonus points in the finals based on their Season standings. The finals will be conducted in the same '55 PTS Last Survivor Checkpoint’ format as the ER Masters, but teams will start with up to an additional 10 points based on their Season’s performance. This makes achieving a higher score during the regular season crucial both for prize money and preparation for Finals.
Season Placements | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | 5th | 6th | 7th | 8th |
| Bonus Points for the Finals | 10 | 7 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
§ 2024 Eternal Return National League Schedule
The league will commence on July 12th and span across Season 4 for 4 weeks (8 days) and continue during Season 5 for another 4 weeks (8 days). The National League finals will be held concurrently with the Season 5 Finals in December.
