Global Tournament #1
Global Tournament #1 is the opening entry in the five week Global Tournament rotation, sitting at layout order eleven inside the tournament UI. Every Global bracket is a four player format with the IsGlobalTournament flag on and MaxBrackets of one, so the entire community feeds into a single leaderboard rather than regional pools. The team is finalized on join and scored purely on Waves Cleared, which turns each run into an Infinite defense marathon where survival time and stall potential matter more than pure burst.
The map pool is the same across all five Global brackets and rotates five endgame maps: Flower Forest, Dressrosa, Fairy King Forest and King's Tomb on Act 5, plus Spirit City on Act 3. Global Tournament #1 defaults to the Act 5 tuning band, so enemy resistance and payload wave counts are calibrated to the top of the current story progression.
The reward table pays the same premium stack across all five Global brackets, with Rank 1 winning a Frieren Ranni Skin, the S1 Rainbow Crown Accessory, 15000 Gems, 125 Trait Rerolls, 1000 Crowns and the Seasonal Infinite Champion title. Rank 10 still walks away with the Frieren Ranni Skin, the S1 Gold Crown Accessory, 12500 Gems, 100 Trait Rerolls and 750 Crowns, and Rank 50 keeps the skin plus the S1 Silver Crown Accessory and 10000 Gems.
Details
How it works
Global Tournament #1 is a four player format where every team across the game competes on one single worldwide bracket, since Max Brackets is capped at one. Your team finalizes the moment you join, so gather your full squad before queueing.
Scoring runs purely on Waves Cleared, turning each run into an Infinite mode survival test against the Act 5 default tuning rather than a burst damage race.
The Global brackets share a five map pool that Global Tournament #1 rotates between team runs, so drafting into a Global run means practicing the whole pool.
Flower Forest (Act 5 tuning)
Dressrosa (Act 5 tuning)
Fairy King Forest (Act 5 tuning)
King's Tomb (Act 5 tuning)
Spirit City (Act 3 tuning)
Rewards
Rank 1 takes the Frieren Ranni Skin, the S1 Rainbow Crown Accessory, 15000 Gems, 125 Trait Rerolls, 1000 Crowns and the Seasonal Infinite Champion title. Beneath Rank 50 the format pays the shared percentile ladder used by every top tournament, so mid pack teams still bank Gems and Trait Rerolls.
Top 5 percent (95 to 100): 8000 Gems, 50 Trait Rerolls, 500 Crowns per player
Top 10 percent (90 to 95): 7500 Gems, 30 Trait Rerolls, 200 Crowns per player
Top 20 percent (80 to 89.99): 7000 Gems, 25 Trait Rerolls, 125 Crowns per player
Top 30 percent (70 to 79.99): 3000 Gems, 20 Trait Rerolls, 75 Crowns per player
Top 40 percent (60 to 69.99): 2500 Gems, 15 Trait Rerolls, 70 Crowns per player
Best strategy
Because every bracket defaults to Act 5 tuning, bring a team built around Infinite mode sustain rather than one tuned for burst kills, since Waves Cleared rewards staying alive over dealing damage fast.
Practice the shared five map pool ahead of time. Flower Forest, Dressrosa, Fairy King Forest and King's Tomb all run at Act 5 resistance, while Spirit City drops to Act 3, so a team optimized purely for the harder maps can underperform when Spirit City comes up.
Since Max Brackets is one, the entire community feeds into a single worldwide leaderboard, so climbing meaningfully in Global Tournament #1 usually takes a coordinated, practiced squad rather than a pickup team.
Schedule
Global Tournament #1 opens as the first bracket in a five week Global rotation, sitting at layout order 11, right after the weekly Solo, Duo and Release formats in the tournament menu.
Each Global bracket runs its own season before the next one in the sequence opens, so #1 is the starting point of that five week cycle every time the Global rotation refreshes.
