Season 9 Union Circuit (Beta)
Union Circuit is back! The mode focuses on 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, Nov 13th to Weds, Nov 26th
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)
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. 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 been promoted twice or more during Season 9’s Union Circuit (Beta)
A 2 Tier Up promotion is counted as 2 promotions. (For example, a promotion from F to FF counts as one, while a promotion from F to FFF counts as two.)
Reward: Nicky Emote
Additional rewards will be distributed according to your tier.
