Battlerealm Brawl Tournament Information
Qualifiers for the tournament were held over Season 30 and will conclude at the end of Season 31.
If you finish the Season in the Top 100 of the Gladiators Circuit, you will obtain a unique emote “The Champion holding up the Battlerealm Brawl logo!” and then will be assigned Battlerealm Brawl Qualifier points.
A special Battlerealm Brawl Qualifier (BRB) leaderboard will track the placements of each Summoner through each season.
After the conclusion of both qualifying Seasons, the Top 8 Summoners in the BRB leaderboard will be offered a place in the Battlerealm Brawl 2025 tournament during Summoners Fest.
A first-place finish in either of the qualifying seasons guarantees an invite to Summoners Fest.
From the Home page, tap on the Trophy Icon.
If it’s not already selected, tap on Category and select Battlerealm Brawl Qualifier.
You will then see the leaderboard and Summoner placements.
