This month, gather your Crew members and climb your way to victory!
Crew Rank Takeover is here!
Event Period:
09/01 ~ 09/21 23:59 (PDT)
Event Mechanics:
- Crew Leaders will be given 7 days prior to the Event implementation to gather Crew members as much as they can - The 1st Day will commence after our next week's Server Maintenance - Each day, during server reset (00:00), we will post an update for the Crew standings via in-game notice and Website notice
Crew Points Calculation:
If 1 Member of the Crew plays a single match = 1 Point If 1 Member of the Crew plays two matches = 2 Points If 3 Members of the same Crew plays a single match = 3 Points
It's more beneficial if you play with your comrades to gather huge points per day.
REMINDERS:
1. Once Crew Member 'X' left Crew #1, the total accumulated of matches 'X' played on that specific date will be removed from Crew #1's Match records.
2. If Crew Member 'X' leaves Crew #1 and joins Crew #2 on the same day before the server reset (00:00), the number of matches 'X' played on that day will be transferred to Crew #2 Match records.
3. If Crew Member 'X' leaves Crew #1 and joins Crew #2 on the next day(after server reset), the number of matches 'X' played on that day will be removed but Crew #2 will not also receive the number of matches 'X' played from the previous day when he left Crew #1.
