HI! I am going to be hosting HCCL PvP tournaments every season from now on, and this is the first of its kind!
(That's Hardcore Classic Ladder on D2R. NON-EXPANSION)

(NOTE: We have a community donations box full of viable LvL 39 BvB gear to help people finish their builds.
Nagas, Battle Hammers, -30 Ornates, other Chest types, 30/20 Pavises and Grim Shields, Str/Life/AR/Rep Belts, Str/Dex/AR/Rep Gloves,
G-Toes, Duskdeeps, +1 bo Sticks, +1 bo Amulets, Angelics rings and amulets, ETC!)

I'm also personally offering to both rush and help players leech their hell skill/stat quests. Just ask!

----------------------------------------------------------------

I've never hosted anything like this so please,
no judgment if I'm missing certain things that a Classic BvB tournament would entail, or if this is a bit raw ;D
We have a great little community here in HCCL; unfortunately I waited a little too long into the season to start advertising and recruiting for this,
as many players are already gone for the season.

For next season, I have 2 different HCCL tournaments planned, Zeal Vs Zeal (Level TBD) and LvL 50 BvB
In the future, there will likely be others, like SvS tournaments as well.
But the staple is BvB and there will always be a BvB Tourny every season!

Tournament Details!

This will be taking place over the course of 1 week, to account for having participants from all over the world.
(December 15th - December 22nd (Subject to minor changes)

Matchups will be spectated and officiated by myself,
and spectated and streamed by one of our community members, Jofe(OhPooh)
Other spectators are welcomed to come watch match-ups on a level 1 character,
or watch the streams via our HCCL Discord


When necessary, some matchups will be hosted by a third party, in order to provide both combatants with fairly equal Ping,

--------------------------------------------------------------

Current Prize Pool is up to 9,500 FG and 1 SOJ, thanks to our generous contributors!


This will be split three ways between
1st, 2nd and 3rd place.
(50%, 30%, 20%)

SoJ will go to the Champion, of course!
