The Qualification phase for the first Axie Infinity tournament is live!

To prepare, Axie Infinity deployed a patch to the Open Beta.

Patch Changes:

A wipe of all Beta Axies that do not exist on main net.
Axie Infinity took a snapshot of all Main Net accounts at block 6,200,000 and created mirror images of those Axies on Rinkeby Test Net.
Every account has been given 50 AOC and 50 MEO tokens to open fresh Axies.
Axie Infinity have reworked the ranking system. Matchmaking is now more refined and a decay to rating has been added.
The unlocking process has been streamlined so Egg/Larvae/Petite stages will be skipped during this phase.

Tournament Rules:

Axies cannot be traded between accounts.
Using multiple accounts to try and game the rating system will lead to disqualification

Rating Decay Details:

Ratings start to decay after 8 hours of no battles (no decay at 7 hours 59 minutes).
Ratings decay at 2% an hour once they kick in.
Decay only starts after the first battle

The rewards for the tournament will be:

The top 16 players will qualify for the tournament and each receive 5 MEO Tokens(on Mainnet)!

1st place: Trophy Terrarium Item and 0.5 ETH

2nd place: 0.3 ETH

3rd place: 0.2 ETH
