AEG Announces a New Emerald Championship Date for L5R CCG

Aug 10, 2011

Paragons of Loyalty from L5R AEG has announced a slight change to the date for the Emerald Championship in order not to conflict with the holidays. The new date is December 17th, 2011 in Sacramento, CA.

Legend of the Five Rings CCG players are competing worldwide for the chance of being named a jeweled Champion and having a say in the design of a new Champion card. I don’t know about you but pretty much having your own card in a collectable card game is pretty sweet!

Not only is the Emerald Championship taking place but there are also other tourneys going on around the world.

From AEG:

As you may have read in the Imperial Herald (vol.3/ Issue 7), it is AEG’s goal to offer a vibrant tournament scene all year long. Obviously, Kotei Season and its 60 tournaments happening over the course of 4 months polarizes the attention of L5R players during the first semester, with its exclusive storyline impact. The 15th Anniversary of the game was the opportunity for us to extend that tournament activity to the rest of the year and given its success, we are turning it into a fixture of the Legend of the Five Rings tournament season.

Named the Winter Court Season, it will feature the following series of tournaments, all of which are briefly explained below and will be explained further as the season goes:

Zone Championships: GenCon (North American and World Championships in 2011), European Championships, South American Championships, Pacific Rim Championships.
Jewel Events: The Amethyst, Emerald, Jade, Obsidian, Onyx, Ruby, Topaz and Turquoise Championships give the opportunity to players to have their favorite Personality from their Clan reach a prominent position in the Emerald Empire. Starting September 10, these events are spread across the continents and will have a new twist added to them as we enter the Emperor Edition Storyline.
Stronghold Store Tournaments: storyline tournaments for the Stronghold Stores that have reached or maintained level 10, level 15 or level 20 status in the Stronghold Store program.
Name a Card Tournaments: these tournaments give their winner the opportunity to name a card for the specified card type to be featured in a future Legend of the Five Rings expansion.
Winner’s Choice Tournaments: these tournaments offer their winner the chance to have a character from their Clan to receive a special trait (picked from a list of available traits)
