The Magic n’ Mayhem Tactician’s Crown Starting Lobbies
All 40 players will be assigned to their initial starting lobbies based upon a snake draft selection process outlined below.
- There will be 5 total lobbies, consisting of 8 players each.
- The first player in each lobby will be:
- The 1st seed from each pan-region will be randomly assigned to a lobby (AMER1, APAC1, CN1, EMEA1).
- The previous Set winner OR the 2nd seed from the winning pan-region of the previous Tactician’s Crown.
Snake draft selection process:
- Once the starting players are determined for each lobby, the initial pick order will be randomly assigned.
- Each player will choose one player from the remaining player pool to be placed in their lobby.
- Each player that is picked will then pick the next player for their lobby.
- This process will continue until all lobbies are filled.
- Ex.: In a given lobby, Player 1 will choose Player 2, Player 2 will choose Player 3, and so on.
Draft pick rules:
- The first 4 players from each lobby must all be from different pan-regions.
- There can be no more than 3 players from a pan-region in each lobby.
- Any player can be chosen to a lobby regardless of their initial seed.
For this event, the point system will stay the same. Points will be awarded for each player based on the results of each game: 8/7/6/5/4/3/2/1 (ie: first place wins 8 points, eighth place wins 1 point).
