September 2024 Duelist Cup Rules and Qualifications

Round 1 Rules

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 being based from the ranking in Season 32 - August 2024.

Season 32 Rank	DLv. Automatic Placement
Silver	DLv. 3
Gold	DLv. 5
Platinum	DLv. 7
Diamond	DLv. 10
Master	DLv. 12

Players who are under DLv. 4 will keep increasing in their DLv., regardless if they win or lose. Only surrendering will cause players in these DLv. to not increase their chances of going to a higher tier.

Round 2 Rules

Players have to hit DLv. Max in order to qualify for the 2nd Round, which should be approximately around September 25, 2024 at 1:00 PM JST.

From here on in, players wil be given Duelist Points to be ranked indivually against all players who made it to this round around the world.

There are placements for server regions and internationally, meaning you can check how much points do you need to stay in the lead!
