Legacy Tournament - 11.05.2025 17:30 CET

[Ultralord]

Great greetings, People of the Sky

Back in my day, War Eagle only needed one frost orb! That was back in 2008.
Since then EA has done a lot of balance changes, but the SR-Team has done even more!
Can you remember how "broken" PvP was before the team took over 4 years ago? Let me help you with this event.
 

 

All you need to know

- When:               11.05.2025 17:30 CET
- Format:             Double elimination, Best of 3
- Special Rule:     We play on the Legacy Server
- Organization:    Chollonge
- Stream:             11.05.2025 17:00 CET at twitch.tv/ultralord_t1421
                            We will go over the rules and answer questions
 

How can I log in the Legacy Serve?

You need to select it in the game launcher, in the top left corner:

What is the difference between the Live Server and the Legacy Server?

THERE ARE A LOT!!! But for this PvP Event, we can compress it down to:
1. All cards and maps are in the state before the SR-Team started working on them (So 2013 with Game version 400000)
2. No Free PvP Decks, instead you have all cards in your collection.

Tournament Format

We play Double elimination. That means you will go to the lower bracket when you lose a match and still can win the tournament.
Best of 3 means you will need two wins against your opponent per round to claim your victory in the bracket.
The final will be a best-of-5 match. The player from the upper bracket will have one win as an advantage.
The pairings will be shuffled before the start of the tournament.

Rules

1. The tournament will be held on the Legacy Server!
2. Disconnecting during a game results in a default loss. If both sides agree, a rematch is possible.
3. If you don't show up to your match after 15 minutes, you'll lose by default. The plan is to play a round of matches every ~30 minutes.
4. After your match, go to Challonge and insert the result. This is done by clicking on your match and selecting the winner/stats.
   The brackets/match list will be updated automatically after all players have finished their matches.
5. The Map Pool is: Haladur, Simai, Elyon, Lajesh, Uro, Wazhai, Yrmia.
6. The map of round one will start on Haladur. Against the second opponent you will play on Simai, third Elyon, etc. (I will make notes in Challonge)
7. The second map is the loser's choice.
8. You can only win prizes if you play your matches during the event. Prizes will be sent on the live server.
9. Have fun and don’t be an idiot!

You can join us here on Challonge. You will need an account.
Be sure to register for the event with your in-game name, to make matchmaking as easy as possible.
I also need that name to send you the prizes!

It's crazy how the balance has changed over the years; it will be a lot of fun to see if payers remember old stuff or find new strategies for the old meta.

Alright Time to get the next PvP Event on the road

While there are obviously balance changes (screw you bandits!), going back to pre-quality of life changes like 5m range increase on certain abilities surely will feel a bit off. That being said, hey-ho-lets-go-50-power Shadow Mages!

Plan was to compare Live-SR and Legacy-SR in the next stream and find some of the difference 🙂
