Community tournament notice: this tournament is community-run by the organization and is not hosted by GamingX.

Beginner-focused Stronghold HD King of the Hill tournament hosted by GamingX.

This tournament is designed mainly for newer and lower-level players. Medium-skill players may be allowed at admin discretion, but they may be required to play with restrictions such as no Engineers Guild.

The format will use the Swiss KoTH System:

  • Players play qualifier matches first
  • Players are ranked by qualifier points
  • Players are then placed into Winners, Losers, or Last-Chance playoff brackets
  • The Winners Bracket champion advances directly to the Grand Final
  • The Losers Bracket and Last-Chance Bracket champions play a Semi-Final
  • The Semi-Final winner plays the Winners Bracket champion in the Grand Final

Target start date and schedule may be adjusted depending on signups and player availability.
