Lesquin, France, 8 December 2023 – Cyanide Studio and NACON are pleased to present a detailed look at how the very first Blood Bowl 3 competitive tournament will be run. Blood Bowl 3 is available on PC, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One.

This first competitive PC-based online tournament is organised in 3 phases: a preliminary qualifier phase, a knock-out match phase (the Play-Ins) and a final phase which will see the best Blood Bowl 3 players face off in the Season Finals.

Qualifiers (21 September 2023 – 11 December 2023)

The majority of qualifications are based on the PC players’ overall ranking, as per the Official Ladder at the end of Season 2, on 11 December:

The top 2 in the ranking will qualify automatically for the final phase, the Season Finals.
The next 26 players, ranked between 3rd and 28th, will qualify for the second phase, the Play-Ins.
Then the top 2 players on the Ladder for each of the 14 available factions, outside of the Top 28, will be selected for the Play-Ins. Hence another 28 players will qualify for this phase.

On top of that, the 2 finalists from the NAF tournament, organised on Blood Bowl 3 by the international Blood Bowl players’ association of the same name, will also qualify for the Play-Ins.

Play-Ins (starting from 12 December 2023)

This phase consists of a series of matches between the 56 players who qualified from the previous phase. Just 14 of them will survive, and win a ticket entitling them to take part in the Season Finals.

Season Finals (13-14 & 20-21 January 2024)

The culmination of the competition, this phase will bring together the 16 best Blood Bowl 3 players. They will face off for the honour of becoming the tournament champion and for a share of the 5000-dollar cash prize, divided between the top 3 players in the tournament.
