How to advance in the WCS 2023 Qualifiers
How to advance in the 1st Stage
If you keep winning in the 1st Stage, your DLv. will increase.
As you suffer more defeats in Duels, your DLv. will drop.
Those before DLv. 4 will increase in DLv. even when they lose. (Except when they surrender).
DLv. will not drop when between DLv. 2-15, nor will it drop below DLv. 17 and DLv. 20 after reaching them.
Once you reach DLv. MAX, you can participate in the Regional Qualifiers.
How to advance in the Regional Qualifiers
In the Regional Qualifiers, DP is earned by winning Duels.
Losing in a Duel results in losing a portion of your DP.
Earn tons of DP and aim for a high rank!
