The Civil War leaderboard had 5 different categories the two teams were competing in: registration, the crew battle, the singles bracket standing, venue ladder, and the online ladder. With the ladder categories, whether you were an attendee at the event or a spectator at home you had an opportunity to impact who won Civil War.

Whose Team Are You On?

The fight had already started the moment the tournament was announced. The number of players who signed up as Team Ally and Team ZeRo determined how points were earneed.

Registration: Of the 864 attendees at the event, 55% of them signed up as Team ZeRo!

Bracket Standing: Players earned points for their team based on their singles placement. The points they earned matched how many points they were worth in fantasy at the end of the bracket. Ally’s team outperformed ZeRo’s.

Venue Ladders: Players could represent their team at the event’s venue ladder and were only matched players to the opposing team. The winner of each match earned a point for their team, and Ally’s team dominated ZeRo’s by winning more matches head-to-head.

The Crew Battle: The main event at the tournament was the crew battle featuring top players on the team of their choosing. Komorikiri was regarded as the MVP for Team ZeRo, taking a total of 6 stocks from Mr. E, Mr. R, and Kameme during his turn. His run was followed by MKLeo, who finalized the win for the team without losing any of his 3 stocks.

Streamed on 2GGaming, Komorikiri at high percent clutches his last stock by taking Mr. R’s.

Online ladders

This category was a new feature smash.gg released for Civil War, and what allowed players at home to be part of the event themselves. Just like the venue ladders, players were only matched against those from the opposing team. Civil War’s online warriors fought over a period of 5 days (3/22 - 3/26) and it was close, but Team Ally took the ladders once again with 58 more matches won in his favor.

Live venue ladders allow players to practice and find competitive matches against new opponents without having to worry about getting knocked out of bracket. Our online ladders build upon this by allowing players to play as many matches as they want from the comfort of their own homes.

Congratulations to C9 | Ally!

In the end, between the two teams, Team Ally won 3 of the 5 categories and thus won the war. But he did not do it alone! It was only with your help that Team Ally was able to win the 2 ladder battles. We hope you enjoyed the event!
