Hey friend! Grab a seat and let’s chat about all the hot goss in the Clash Royale universe. So, get this – Supercell just dropped the deets on their plans for Clash Royale esports in 2024, and it’s got the players feeling some type of way, and not in a good way.
Alright, so here’s the deal. The Clash Royale League, also known as CRL, is making a comeback in 2024, and it’s following a format similar to the one we saw last year, with a little twist that’s causing some serious drama. This time around, only a handful of players are getting the shot to go pro, which is a major bummer for a load of Clash Royale fans.
But let’s break it down a bit more. The CRL is all set to kick off in April with the monthly qualifiers, but here’s the kicker – there are only gonna be five of them this year. That’s way less than what we’re used to, and it’s really throwing everyone off.
So, here’s the scoop. Every month, the top 1000 Path of Legends players will battle it out in the Monthly Qualifier, and from there, the top eight move on to the Monthly Finals. The big winner there snags a ‘Golden Ticket’ to the CRL 2024 World Finals. Seems pretty straightforward, right?
And get this – these monthly showdowns will be happening from April to August, right on the in-game tournament hub, so everyone’s gonna have a chance to jump in and show their stuff.
But wait, there’s more! Each monthly showdown will dish out competitive points, and the player with the most at the end of August – who didn’t score a Golden Ticket – gets the sixth spot in the World Finals. Plus, there’s gonna be a player from China and a top player from an undisclosed community tournament grabbing the other two slots in the final showdown.
So, imagine this – the top eight players go head-to-head at the CRL World Finals 2024, and the grand champ walks away with the title of the 2024 Clash Royale esports kingpin. That’s a huge deal, no doubt about it, but here comes the monkey wrench.
The big problem is, players aren’t really feeling the downsized format. The World Finals in 2023 had a peak viewership of 149,560, which is a major drop from the 228,608 it racked up in the year before. And here’s the real kicker – in the last few years, 16 players battled it out in the LAN World Finals. But now, it’s just eight, and that’s got everyone feeling some type of way.
And to add fuel to the fire, Supercell hasn’t spilled the beans about the prize pool for the 2024 season. And that’s got a lot of players feeling like there’s gonna be less reason for them to play, and fewer esports organizations throwing money into the game. It’s a real bummer, for sure.
And the players aren’t staying quiet about it either. Morten, a well-known face in Clash Royale circles, took to Twitter and said, “I expected nothing and still got disappointed. Clash Royale things (sic).” Ouch, that’s gotta sting.
Other big shots in the Clash Royale scene are also chiming in with their thoughts, and while the shrunken format’s got everyone riled up, we’re all waiting with bated breath to see how the game holds up in 2024.
So, there you have it – the lowdown on the latest in Clash Royale esports. It’s gonna be a rollercoaster of a year, and I can’t wait to see how it all plays out!
