The Crystal League Championship is coming September 16-17, and as always, there are big prizes up for grabs! But this will be a bittersweet event, as unfortunately this will be Albion’s last CLC. Read on for more info…
Crystal League Changes
We’ve seen some fantastic moments in these tournaments, and we truly appreciate the passion and joy with which our players took part. But it’s time to move forward, and following this tournament the Lethal Crystal League will be removed from the game altogether. Furthermore, the Crystal League will no longer grant Season Points from the beginning of next season, in order to place a greater emphasis on other guild activities.
While this is of course a big change for our Crystal League players, we trust that our community can stage their own exciting tournaments and perhaps other competitive formats, and we’ll support Custom Matches with a new Observer Mode to encourage this.
In the meantime, let’s look ahead to what’s sure to be another exciting Crystal League Championship, and send it off with a bang!

Changes
This edition of the CLC sees a few changes from the previous one:
A team must have five consistent players to earn points; so, any changed line-ups during the season count as a separate team with its own points. (Note: during the tournament, substitutes are still permitted). This time, the top six Non-Lethal and top two Lethal Crystal League teams on each server will qualify. To make the tournament progress faster, teams now have one minute to accept their match invitation, or they will receive a strike
