Coliseum of Champions: 2010 (CoC)

PVP? Asa!!

Overview:

The Coliseum of Champions (CoC) returns this year with new features that promise to create more competitions for Rohan PVP aficionados across the country.

CoC: 2010 is no longer limited to regional PVP clashes; instead winners of the tournament will compete on a national level with other winners Details of the National Coliseum of Champions will be revealed soon so watch out for it. Settle all your rivalries and grudges with your skill rather than with words! Defeat your enemies here!

The tournament playing field however, remains true to its core: pre-generated characters that will test not only each participant’s skill in PVP and teamwork, but also in terms of character planning of stats, skills and line-up composition. This year also marks the first time that the newest character class: Giants will enter the competitive playing field of Rohan. They will surely add more spice to the already diverse mechanics of battle.

As if that is not enough, new items for the raffle have been such as the infamous Nettle Vine Earring among other things. The tournaments now also have higher stakes since players will not only compete for the champions items but also for the Pot Load at stake every area. The action gets wilder as the stakes go higher!

Calling all hardcore PVPers! The time for bragging is over! The Coliseum of Champions: 2010 will be the proving grounds for all would be champions of Rohan Online PH!

See you at the fields!

Tournament Mechanics/Basics

The Coliseum of Champions in a nutshell:

• The Coliseum of champions is similar to the Rohan Blood Wars event with only the following exceptions:
• No Revenge Phase
• No Resurrection Scrolls (Classes with the resurrection skill are still allowed)
• All events are considered as “exhibition” matches and have no bearing towards the Rohan Blood Wars or Level Up! Live related events.
• Losing teams are free to join as many Coliseum of Champions as they want provided that they follow the rules
• *NEW* Champions Teams and team members (Both account and person/pilot) are no longer allowed to join future Coliseum of Champions tournaments.
• *NEW* Members of winning teams are forbidden to pilot characters or substitute in any other CoC tournament. They are still allowed to join the raffle segment.
• Violation of the two above rules will be grounds for disqualification.

With that in mind, the actual matches will still be between teams of 8 players using pre-generated characters each with the same amount of items, same class of equipments, and same amount of stats that will be allocated by the users themselves before the actual matches. Scoring and match rules are similar to that used in the Rohan Blood Wars tournament as well.

*NEW UPDATES FOR 2010*

For 2010, the Coliseum of Champions will adapt certain rules from its distant cousin: Blood Wars. Winners of each CoC event will automatically qualify to the Coliseum of Champions finals wherein they will compete against other CoC winner of other regions.
Also, each regional CoC event will feature a new “Pot Load” prize up for grabs. Details already mentioned in the Tournament registration section.
This will be a good staging area for you and your team to compete for future online tournaments. Establish your dominance here and conquer your enemies!
