Rules
Short and firm. Break them and you're out.
What this challenge is
Create a fresh account, play only the tutorial before the start, then climb normal ranked for 5 weeks straight. You are allowed exactly 40 ranked games per week. No more, no less — extras don't count and anything below 40 is wasted. The goal is twofold: climb as high as you can on the individual leaderboard, and bring your country to the top.
- 01
Brand new account — tutorial only before start
Every player must create a fresh account for this challenge. Before the challenge begins, the ONLY mode allowed is the tutorial. Any other mode played on that account — ranked, casual, ARAM, bot games, anything — disqualifies the account.
- 02
Join the WCL guild — or add WCL#EMEA
Every participant must either be a member of the WCL in-game guild for the entire challenge, OR add the account 'WCL#EMEA' as a friend in-game.
- 03
Open match history, no Away mode
Match history must stay public for the whole challenge. Away mode must never be enabled — admins audit every game.
- 04
No unauthorised duos, no win-trading
Admins check daily for disallowed premades and win-trading. Penalty: a ban from all WCL events for the rest of the year.
- 05
40 ranked games per week — hard cap
A maximum of 40 ranked games count per week. The counter resets each week. Play fewer than 40 and those games are wasted. Play more than 40 and the extras don't count — they can't be reclaimed later.
- 06
Country competition
There are two goals: rank high as an individual AND bring your country to the top. Countries are ranked by the combined score of their top 5 players. Only the #1 country wins the €100 cash prize, split between its top 5.
- 07
Eligibility — non-WCL applicants
Players not in the WCL must prove a peak rank of Legend or Sovereign with a profile screenshot before being admitted.
