Blade & Soul will be hosting its North American Region Championship during the upcoming PAX West convention next week. On September 3rd, matches will be held all day with the finals taking place that night at the PAX Arena. Teams will be vying for a spot in the World Championships and a share of the $340,000 prize purse. The funds were raised via B&S fans through the purchase of a special in-game package of goods.
Blade & Soul PVP is a fast-paced competition between teams of three. Players have one of nine character classes available to them, each with their own unique playstyle. There are no auto-target player abilities, so a high degree of skill is needed to pull off the deadly combos that can quickly burst down opponents or lightning quick reflexes to escape and out-sustain enemies. 1v1 fights are straightforward affairs – two players enter, one player leaves. The 3v3 fights bring an entirely new level of complexity to the system as only one player is active at a time, but with a limited number of assists and tag-outs, a high degree of skill, strategy and communication is needed to outlast and outwit opponents.
Be sure to check in on the Blade & Soul Twitch channel that day or check out further details and team information on the PlayNC.com site.
