Road of the King


Hosted by Chinese portal site SGamer, Road of the King will be the second massive team tournament held in China this year, following the culmination of IESC in Beijing.

Eight teams have been invited to compete in this event at the Optic Valley in Wuhan, China with a staggering prize purse of up to $10,000 for the overall winning team.

The format of this tournament will be a lot similar to NGL's system of 'winner stays in, loser goes out'. In addition to that, the ROTK administration has introduced a set of 'cards' which teams will be able to use once in every clan war. The descriptions are as follows:


Split
The following game will be played in a best-of-3 format, instead of a best-of-1.

Mirror Image
The following game will be played on a 2on2 format, instead of 1on1.

Charm
Allows the user to play the following game on his map of choice.

Phase Shift
Allows the team to swap any player that has not been eliminated to play the following game.

Resurrection
Allows the team to 'revive' any player that has been eliminated in the clan war.

Anti-magic shell
Allows the team to void any of the above 5 cards that has been used by the opponent.

using the mirror image card against someone who never plays 2on2 for their team would be smart.

Can't seem to view reps. I've heard others are having the same problem. It's not the string that's the problem; there seems to be a specialized mappack that needs to be downloaded. Can anyone help with a link to it?
(1 week ago)  #24 Contrail
 
It is just the default map pack from eg WCG....
