Season 8 Union Circuit
Union Circuit is back! It now returns in a more refined form, focusing on more coordinated team compositions, strategic planning, and putting teamwork and tactics into test to show true competitive battles between pre-made teams.
Overview
Up to 4 players can form a single Union, and each player can belong to up to 4 different Unions.
Participation is available from account level 30 and above. However, in order to create a Union you need a ranked tier of Gold or higher.
Schedule: Thurs, Aug 7th to Weds, Sep 4th
Union Circuit is available at specific times depending on the server. Players can also participate in Unions in other servers.
North America: Friday and Saturday, 19:00 – 21:00 (PT) / 22:00 – 00:00 (ET)
Europe: Friday and Saturday, 20:00 – 22:00 (CEST)
Asia 1: Daily from 22:00 – 00:00 (KST)
Asia 2: Saturday and Sunday, 20:00 – 22:00 (KST)
Union Circuit Tiers & Promotion System
Union Circuit has S, A, B, C, D, F tiers and each is subdivided in 3 tiers. (i.e. SSS, SS, S)
Unions within the same letter tier will share the same matchmaking pool. (i.e. F, FF, FFF) However, matchmaking for global servers could vary and be expanded.
Tickets are used as entry cost to a match. The following tickets are granted according to match results: 2 Tiers Up, Tier Up, Maintain and Demotion. Your ranking is calculated with the sum of kill points and placement.
Cumulative wins are recorded when winning matches in the SSS tier. You can check your total wins in the Union Circuit team lobby.
The cumulative win rankings for the SSS tier can also be viewed on [Dak.gg].
Participation Reward
Conditions: Having participated in 2+ matches of Season 8’s Union Circuit (Beta)
Players who get 2 tier promotions during the Union Circuit period will receive a special emote reward after the season ends. (For example, a promotion from F to FF counts as one, while a promotion from F to FFF counts as two.)
Reward: Adina Emote
Additional rewards will be distributed according to your tier.

New Highlight Sound Effect: A new sound will now play when the highlight effect appears on corpses or dropped items. The sound varies depending on item rarity, Rare and Epic or higher items will each have distinct effects.
Audible Range: 15m
