Rules of the game

How to Play

  1. 1

    Draft your roster

    Each round shows one real historical RLCS lineup. Take exactly one card — a player, the coach, the substitute or the organization. The lineup pool is always fully random, on every difficulty.

  2. 2

    Free choice, six slots

    You need 3 players, 1 coach, 1 substitute and 1 org. Pick in any order. Once a person is on your roster, their other versions can't be drafted again this run. If nothing in a lineup fits your remaining slots, the reroll is free.

  3. 3

    Build chemistry

    Same historical lineup is the strongest link, same country is strong, same organization counts too. Coaches and subs connected to your players add a little more. Chemistry adds rating — more on higher difficulties.

  4. 4

    Survive the bracket

    16 teams. Swiss stage in best-of-5: 3 wins to advance, 3 losses and you're out. Top 8 seed into a double-elimination best-of-7 bracket — an upper-bracket loss drops you to the lower bracket, not out of the event. Your team rating is driven mostly by player overalls — chemistry, org buffs, coach and special effects add the edge.

  5. 5

    Collect special cards

    Rare special versions of cards can appear in any draft: iconic moments, MVP runs, legends. Draft one and finish the run — win or lose — and it's unlocked in your collection forever.

Card rarities

Base cards are Silver (79 or below), Gold (80–89) and Blue (90+). With overalls hidden, base cards turn black and show ?? — special cards keep their look, but the number stays hidden until the results screen.
