Participant registration is now live via the Summoners War: Sky Arena in-game event page until June 30 at Midnight PT. Preliminary participants will be selected based on their individual performance during World Arena Seasons 32 and 33. The Europe and Americas regions will each field 16 preliminary players, while the Asia-Pacific region will be divided into four groups—Korea, Japan, Southeast Asia and Others in Asia—with 8 players from each preliminary group.
Preliminaries will take place between late July and the end of August. These best-of-five, double elimination showdowns will determine who advances to the Regional Cups.
Regional Cups will be held in-person around the world to determine the finalists, with the Europe Cup kicking off on Sept. 20 as a closed-door event, followed by the Americas Cup on Oct. 11 in São Paulo, Brazil and the Asia-Pacific Cup closing it out on Oct. 18 in Busan, South Korea. Three players from each Regional Cup will earn a spot in the World Finals. Additionally, Open Qualifier events will be held in France and Hangzhou, giving one (France) and two (Hangzhou) players a direct ticket to the World Finals.
And at the World Finals on Nov. 1 in Paris, France, the 12 best Summoners War: Sky Arena players in the world will battle it out in a single-elimination bracket.
Throughout the tournament season of August through November, fans can catch the action in-person and enjoy exciting Summoners War content online while cheering their favorite players on to victory. Catch real-time global livestreams on the official Summoners War Esports YouTube channel.
