Valhalla League Detailed Changes

  1. League Reorganization Following Server Transfer and Server Battle Renewal

  • New League: Launch of Valhalla League

    • With Season 3 coming to an end, YMIR League will conclude, and the new "Valhalla League" will begin on August 11 with the renewed Server Battle.

  • Valhalla League Composition

    • The number of leagues will be adjusted based on the reorganized number of servers and activity levels following the server merge and server transfers. The adjusted leagues and initial server placements per league will be confirmed based on metrics following the August 4 update maintenance. Further details will be announced once confirmed.

  • YMIR League Concluding Rewards

    • Following the conclusion of YMIR League, final YMIR League result rewards will be distributed according to the current YMIR League pre-season placements.

※ The YMIR League final rewards can be claimed by all Warriors on each server and will be sent sequentially after the August 11 maintenance is completed.

※ For NAEU, SA, and STEAM, as they run as a single League, all servers will receive League 1 rewards.

  1. Increased Matches per Season (4 Matches → 6 Matches)

  • As the server composition for each League has changed due to the server merge, the League will be expanded to 6 matches so that servers within the same League can compete against each other during the Season. This allows rankings to be determined more closely and fairly, regardless of the League size.

  • Queue is conducted on a Random basis, and during this process, you may be rematched with a server you faced before. However, matchings will be adjusted so that you face as many different servers within the same League at least once as possible.

  1. [ASIA] Changes to Promotion/Demotion Method and Number of Servers Subject to Promotion Battles

  • Abolition of Promotion Battles:

    • For the ASIA League, Promotion Battles will be abolished in order to immediately reflect the Results of the Weekly League in the following Season. (NAEU, SA, and STEAM regions operate as a single League.)

  • Introduction of Auto Promotion/Demotion System:

    • With the abolition of Promotion Battles, servers subject to promotion/demotion will be automatically promoted or demoted at the start of the next Season after the current Season ends.

    • As the League is reorganized, the top 3 and bottom 3 servers in each League will become subject to promotion/demotion.

  • Retention of Ultimate Showdown:

    • As before, the Ultimate Showdown will be held on Friday of the week when the final match of the Season takes place, featuring the 1st and 2nd place servers of the highest League in each region.

  1. Changes to Ranking Determination Rules

  • New Victory Point System:

    • To place greater emphasis on victories achieved in the renewed Server Battle, Victory Points will be introduced to the existing Season Accumulated point-based ranking determination system. (1 Victory = 1 Victory Point)

  • Victory Point System

    • The rank in the Valhalla League is determined by whether the server wins or loses in the Server Battle, with victory points awarded upon Victory. The final League ranking will be determined based on the total victory points accumulated at the point when all matches have concluded after the Season ends.

  • Ranking Logic

    • If the victory points are equal, the server with the highest Accumulated Score from each Server Battle match will take the higher rank.

      • Scores will only affect the ranking when victory points are identical.

    • If the victory points and accumulated score are both equal, the server with the shorter accumulated combat time across its Server Battle matches will take the higher rank.

      • Total combat time will only affect the ranking when both victory points and Server Battle scores are identical.

  1. Valhalla League Rewards

  • Valhalla League rewards are currently undergoing final adjustments while reviewing the current Growth metrics of all Warriors and the server growth power status across each League.

  • Detailed information regarding rewards will be announced through a separate notice as soon as it is confirmed.

We express our sincere gratitude to all Warriors who participated in the YMIR League over the past 3 Seasons, and we ask for your continued interest and participation in the newly revamped Valhalla League.
