Meet the players

In this Battlegrounds Lobby Legends: Hallow's End event half the players will make their debut on the big screen. This is something to highlight since prior editions were populated with returnees.

Talking about returnees, SeseiSei will be back and thirsty for more glory. The Lobby Legends #6 winner and point record holder, is back after skipping the last event.

One additional fact brought to you by BG Caster Mayo. Geobugi (Korean for turtle) qualified for this event finishing #9 in the APAC server without the Season Pass. Despite having only 2 Hero options instead of 4, he proved he was good enough to compete at the highest level.

Battlegrounds Lobby Legends Format

These surviving 16 players will fight among themselves, divided into two lobbies. Only the top 4 point earners after three games in each lobby will make it to the grand finals on Sunday.

During day 2, Lobby Legends: Hallow's End viewers will enjoy once again the Battlegrounds Check Format. This means that in the final lobby, players have to earn 20 points to "put the lobby in check" and have a shot at taking the crown.

The player who succeeds at winning a lobby after meeting the 20-point threshold will be the Battlegrounds Lobby Legends: Hallow's End champion! Trust me when I say that this format creates an extraordinary viewing experience.

Talking about the viewer experience. Remember that the Tavern Buddy Twitch Extension will be active for you to challenge other viewers and compete against the casters to see who knows more about Battlegrounds.

We already know the 48 players that will compete in the last qualifiers for 2022. The top 16 players from the Americas, European and Asia Pacific servers will fight for 12 spots at Battlegrounds Lobby Legends final event for $100,000.
