Semi-Finals[]
Similar as the previous year every winner of the same region would compete against each other. This round consists of several phases. First the Summoners create a deck of 30 Champions. After the deck has been created the Summoners will use a Picks & Bans phase, to ban 3 champions from the opponents deck. After both Summoners have banned champions they will select 7 champions that can be used as Attackers or Defenders. When it's the turn of a Summoner they get to choose from 3 randomly presented champions from the deck to choose. After the first selection, they will get to choose from 5 champions to select 2 slots. After all Champions are selected the Battle phase is next. In this phase the summoners will choose an Attacker and a Defender. Both players will act as the Attacker and Defender, and each fight also has Nodes applied. The Summoner with the highest score wins the round. The Summoners will play a best of three rounds, and each round a new Attacker and Defender is chosen. The overall winner will be determined by the most series won.
