Eternal Championship Qualifier: Dark Frontier

Eternal Championship Qualifier: Dark Frontier

The last Eternal Championship Qualifier of the 2019 season will be held May 3 – 5!

ECQ: Dark Frontier will bring together Eternal players from around the world as they compete to qualify for the $100,000 World Championship!

This is the last ECQ of the 2019 season, and $5,000 is on the line. Everyone who makes the cut to the Top 64 will earn ECQ Points to help them qualify for the last-chance to get to Worlds: The Showdown!

Here’s how the Top 64 prizes break down:

ECQ: Dark Frontier consists of two stages: Qualifiers that are open to all players on Steam, iOS or Android, and the Finals that will feature the Top 64 players from the Qualifiers.
