Tournament Format

The tournament follows the NGL format of single elimination with of course a bit of Chinese originality to spice things up with the "Card system".

SK Gaming explain The RoTK "Card System"

I have not seen an English version of the RoTK system on any European site but thanks to Roro from GGL China we've translated and explained the card system below in English.

The card system in RoTK allows the use of six "cards", each card has a different ability and each can be used once in every clan war. The cards do not stack, if cards are not used in a clan war they may not be saved for the next match.

Card One - The "Split" Card (分裂): Allows the team captain to change the next game in the match to a best-of-3 instead of a best-of-1.

Card Two - The "Mirror Image" Card (镜像): Allows the team captain to change the next game in the match to a 2v2 instead of a 1v1.

Card Three - The "Charm" Card (魅惑): Allows the team captain to change the next map to a map of his choice.

Card Four - The "Phase Shift" Card (相形变换): Allows the team captain to change the current player to a previous player. For example if Lyn beats WE.likE but his next match is against WE.Sky, SK Gaming could swop Lyn with any player still "alive" in their roster.

Card Five - The "Ressurection" Card( 复苏): Allows team captain to "revive" player on his roster that has already been defeated, similar to PGL.

Card Six - The "Anti-Magic Shell" Card (反魔法盾): Allows team captain to render whichever card his opponents used void. For example if SK Gaming are playing Mousesports, SK Gaming use their "Mirror Image" card to change the matchup to a 2v2, if Mousesports then play their "Anti-Magic Shell" card the next game remains a 1v1 not a 2v2.

SK Gaming will keep you up to date when the last two remaining teams to participate are announced and of course keep you posted when the tournament gets underway.
