1st Stage

Event Details

This event plays identical to that the Duelist Cup and has no Loaner Decks or specialized banlist. The Forbidden/Limited list follows the Standard at the time.

Players must all begin within Stage 1 which lasts for the whole duration of the event and repeated wins allow them to increase their Duelist Level (DLv.). Those at DLv. 3 or lower will increase their DLv. by completing a match without conceding, regardless of whether they won or lost. Players below DLv. 16 will not have their Level decrease with losses, and they cannot de-rank below DLv. 17 or MAX (20) if they have obtained them.[1]

Those who have reached DLv. MAX can take part in Stage 2, the Regional Qualifiers round, starting from 26 May 2023, 04:00 UTC.

Players begin at a higher starting DLv. and automatically earn all rewards from previous DLv. depending on the Rank that they ended the April 2023 season (Season 16) with:

  • Rookie/Bronze → DLv. 1
  • Silver → DLv. 3
  • Gold → DLv. 5
  • Platinum → DLv. 7
  • Diamond → DLv. 10

Rewards

Whenever Legacy Tickets would be earned through Duel Result, there is a chance that Special Reward Tickets will be awarded instead.[2]

2nd Stage

Event Details

As in the 2nd Stage of the Duelist Cup, players will earn and lose Dueling Points (DP) through dueling other players. Some specifics regarding how much DP changes are shown below:[4]

  • The greater the difference between opposing players, the greater the DP gain/loss will be for the winner/loser.
  • Victories provide at minimum 1000 DP to the winner with no theoretical upper limit.
  • Defeats take away at maximum 1200 DP from the loser.
  • Players with at most 9000 DP will lose less DP if they lose.

Throughout the event, players are evaluated on their DP on a leaderboard. After the event is finished, this final tally is considered along with each player's performance relative to those performing in the same defined area:

  • Area A: Japan
  • Area B: Asia
  • Area C: North America
  • Area D: Latin America
  • Area E: Europe/Middle East/Oceania/Africa

Of which, Areas A, C, and E have 2 representative players each (1st and 2nd) and Areas B and D have 1 representative each (1st) chosen for a total of 8 players.

These top 8 players must choose 2 other players from their home area to form a team of 3 and hence forth be invited to the WCS 2023 Finals at the Tokyo Big Sight on 5-6 August 2023. Rules regarding these other 2 players are as follows:[5]

  • They also cannot be representatives themselves.
  • They (and any representative) cannot also be participating in the Duel Links or TCG finals.
  • They must be DLv. MAX.

After final calculations, in the circumstance that multiple players share the same DP, the criteria is identical to that of the Duelist Cup.
