03/07/2024 - Eternal Return's Challenger Series enters its third season and brings fresh changes for participants. Developer Nimble Neuron and publisher Kakao Games give an insight into what players can expect in the new season of the esports competition.
After a rousing second season of the Challenger Series, Eternal Return, developed by Nimble Neuron and published by Kakao Games, is about to launch the third season of its Esports Challenger Series. This move marks an exciting time for fans and players of the game alike, as a number of changes have been announced to make the tournament experience even more immersive.
Participants in North America will have the opportunity to register for the tournament from March 20-26 to prove themselves as ultimate survivors in the arena. With the announcement of the tournament tree shortly after the registration period closes, the exciting phase of competition will begin with 16 teams organized into 4 blocks competing for a spot in the grand finals.
The tournament format: an overview
Over the course of the tournament, two blocks will be combined into group lobbies each week, with a total of 8 teams competing in 4 matches. The results of these matches are determined by the teams' rankings, which requires a high level of motivation and strategic skill. The winner of each block qualifies directly for the grand final, while the second and third-placed teams get a second chance in the wild card rounds. The best four teams from these rounds also secure a place in the final.
The final on April 21 promises to be a highlight for all fans of Eternal Return. In addition to the prize money of 1,000 dollars, the best teams will also receive generous in-game rewards. Even the runners-up will not go away empty-handed and will also receive prizes.
Further tournaments and highlights
Eternal Return is expanding its esports offering beyond North America with additional tournaments in South America and the European Union that will bring additional excitement to the community. The application period for the South American tournament runs from April 17-23, with the tournament itself taking place on April 27. This provides an excellent opportunity for players in South America to showcase their skills and compete against other top players.
In the European Union, another tournament will take place on May 4, with registration open between April 24 and April 30. These tournaments offer players from different regions the chance to compete on an international level and share their passion for Eternal Return with like-minded players from all over the world.
