THE FORMAT
Wildgate is a match-based game featuring up to twenty players spread across five crews.
In the Wildgate Showdown, we'll have forty players participating—which means we'll have two groups of five crews battling simutaneously, each within their own match. There will be a total of eight matches over the event (or four rounds of two concurrent matches).
The goal of each match of Wildgate is to find and escape with an ancient Artifact, or to be the last crew flying. And for this showdown, there's also $20,000 on the line! Crews who secure a victory through either means will receive a portion of the prize pool (per victory).
