PCIHL Update #1

Well then.

It’s been a little over a week since we made the public announcement of the Paragon Competitive Inhouse League. Since then, the community has given us tremendous support and the players who have gotten the opportunity to play have shown us some of the best Paragon play we’ve seen for a while. Another part of the response we have received is feedback, which we have heard and are currently using to improve the league and better serve the competitive community. As part of these changes, we are ecstatic to announce the implementation of our two league system: Open league and Pro league.







Our original intention was to create a league that fosters the highest level of competition for paragon and serve as a training grounds for our best players. We have heard your desires for all players to have a clear path to competing on this level and this has led to the creation of the Open league. Open league players will have a dedicated match creation system where they will play and receive a similar competitive experience to our Pro league players while also trying to obtain a spot in that league. Pro players will have the option of competing alongside the open league players in that league in addition to their own if they so choose. For more information on the leagues, read on and feel to send any questions or feedback to us on discord when you are done.

For the open league, players do not have to be vouched for but do have to register. The form for this can be found below. Our only requirement for Open league players at this time is that they have at least 200 pvp games played on the account they register with. Admins will hand verify each application and add successful applicants to the Open league player pool. For Season 0, the top 5 Open league players by rating will be promoted to the Pro league each week for the NA and EU server regions. The specific timings for the promotions can be found on our discord in the welcome channel.

Note: You may notice that we have added support for the OCE server region in the changelog at the end of this post. Until it demonstrates a significant user base, the promotion system will not apply to the OCE server region. Members of this region can still participate in Open league matches until a significant user base is established.







We will continue to diligently listen to your feedback and work to make the PCIHL a place to find the highest level of competition for all players. Thank you for your continued patience and support.







Cheers,



The PCIHL Team
