The first stage of the KC cup plays very similar to the ranked ladder
For the November 2017 KC Cup, players raised their DLv by dueling, up to a max level of 20
Reaching stage 20 qualifies a player for stage 2 of the KC Cup
Gems, tickets, and gold were given to players as rewards for increasing their DLv
Stage 2
Stage 2 of the KC Cup follows an ELO system, with points gained/lost for each win or loss
Based on a player's global ranking at the end of the event, they will receive a certain amount of tickets as well as other rewards
The top 500 players of each region will be eligible to play in the Regional Representative Qualifiers for WCS 2018, and be exempt from the WCS qualifiers
Players who reached KOG rank for the 24th season of ranked duels (January) are automatically entered into stage 2, but can still play in stage 1 until Feb 15
