Duelist Cup - December 2022 Rules and Qualifications
The Duelist Cup is Master Duel's premiere PvP event, with the focus of primarily Dueling against other Duelists at their best. It's also important to note that this is the first event Master Duel did a rerun for.
This event is mostly for primarily for competitive players, who wants to see how good they are against other seasoned players around the world with their best Decks.
If it's anything like the Duelist Cup in August, players will most likely still have a unique Level called DLv., which serves as their eligibility for the tournament proper. Players DLvs are determined by their placement in Ranked Duels before joining the event--to be specific, the final placement during Season 11.
