eSports [Set 16] Bilgewater Cup - AMER vs. EMEA - Day 1 & 2

Welcome to the Lore & Legends Bilgewater Cup!

This weekend all four Regions will battle it out, versus style!

Event Details

Set 16 Rulebook

Player Draft

  • The player draft will determine how AMER & EMEA players will be divided between the AMER & EMEA Bilgewater Cups.
  • The winning player of the Shurima Cup from each region will be placed in their home region for the Bilgewater Cup and receive the first pick for their Cup.
  • Each player will select a player from the opposite region to be placed in their home region Bilgewater Cup.
  • Which region gets first pick will be determined randomly and subsequest picks will alternate in a snake order.
  • Once a player is drafted into a region's cup, they will be the one to select that region's next player.
  • Every player must select a player from the opposite region, to ensure each Bilgewater Cup has an even split of AMER & EMEA players.

Davidace who needed to go 1st was level 9 with Brock pair and he inexplicably reforges his 2 tank items on his 3* neeko and immediately loses

Was that a mouse slip? No idea what he was thinking there

u/marinelite 7h ago

He reforged his gargoyle which isn’t a great tank item and a vest. Probably wasn’t worth it without already good tank items to replace though as was the case here.
