March 2023 Duelist Cup Rules and Qualifications

The Duelist Cup is Master Duel's premiere PvP event, with the focus of primarily Dueling against other Duelists at their absolute best.

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 and strongest Decks.

Players will most likely have a unique Ranking 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 most likely during Season 14.

Round 2 Begins

As of March 24, 2023, the 2nd Round of the Duelist Cup has officially begun! Good luck to all the Duelists who have moved to the next round!

For players who are still striving to qualify, players can still try to hit DLv. MAX before the event ends on March 27, 2023!

Once players participate in the 2nd Round, the DLv. System is now replaced with a points system, with the value increasing or decreasing depending on whether you win or lose.

Try to win as much as possible to get more points, and rank higher than your competitors!
