Years have passed since the officially hosted Ballista Royale, and from thereon after, we’ve been playing this game without the thrill of huge risk in team combat. But the time has come for a true Ballista tournament. This idea has been brought up just recently, and so far, we’ve concluded the following rules:
1. Level 60
2. Pashhow Marshlands style (no items allowed during the match)
3. No NPC voucher exchanges
4. 20 minute Diorama matches with best 2 out of 3
5. Final match will be best 3 out of 5
6. 5 members per team, formed with 3 DDs and 2 mages
7. No duplicate [main] jobs
8. Subjobs allowed
9. Once a team has chosen a certain job configuration, no changes can be made
10. 200k entry fee per person (1M per team of 5)
11. Bracket system
12. 1st place wins the entry fee pot (minus 1M, which goes to 2nd place, retrieving their team’s entry fee)
Currently, the plan to host this tournament is still in its early stage, but updates and further rules will be announced as more opportunities for discussions come. Hopefully, a total of 8 teams will sign up, allowing the use of the bracket system, and if not, we would need to decide on a different tournament scheme. With 8 teams, the total prize would be 7M for 1st place and 1M for 2nd with no gil loss for the runner up. The server and date in which this will be held is still underway, but the most difficult problem that we’re facing is categorizing jobs like COR, BRD, DNC, and especially PLD (as to whether they should be considered DD or mage). These issues will be resolved soon, and although we have the general concepts of this event down, we’re always open for further suggestions.
Likely host servers: Gilgamesh, Lakshmi, Siren
More updates to come.
