Illuvium Test Tournament Kicks Off July 5 with $1040 Prize Pool

Join the Illuvium Test Tournament on July 5

Illuvium just revealed that Competitive Season 1 will begin with an official Test Tournament. All participants, regardless of skill level, are welcome to participate in the event, which begins on Saturday, July 5 at 3 PM UTC. The objective is to get community input and test the format of next competitions. Players have a fantastic opportunity to participate, offer feedback, and experience the new competitive structure.

The tournament includes 32 players and follows a battle royale bracket format. All matches are solo — no teams. Players start with a Best of 2 match. Winners move to the Semi Finals, which also follow a Best of 2 format. The top 8 players then face off in the Grand Finals with a Best of 3. The event lasts around 7 hours and wraps up with a livestream of the Final match on Illuvium’s official Twitch channel.

There is a 100 $ILV prize pool, worth about $1040, for the top 16 players. Here’s the reward breakdown:

• 1st place: 27 $ILV (~$280)
• 2nd place: 17 $ILV (~$176)
• 3rd place: 13 $ILV (~$134)
• 4th place: 11 $ILV (~$114)
• 5th to 8th place: 4 to 7 $ILV
• 9th to 16th place: 1 to 2 $ILV

If you make it past the first round, you already qualify for a reward. Half of the players will take home a prize, which makes this a rewarding and low-pressure experience for casual players.

Head to the Community Gaming esports platform to register. There are only 32 slots, so sign up soon. If every space is taken, you can still register for the waitlist in case someone cancels or fails to show up. Participants are welcome to come from anywhere in the world. You must check in an hour before the event's start time and join the official Discord voice conversation in order to participate.

Players can actually have an impact on Competitive Season 1 by participating in this competition. Using participant feedback, the team will refine the format before introducing more tournament-point activities. These are necessary points to earn a spot in the Illuvium World Championship, which is set for the end of the year. Think about this test as a drill for future, more important assignments.

More details on Competitive Season 1 will be released after the Test Tournament ends. The season will include both Minor and Major Tournaments. Each tournament will award points and offer prizes. The World Championship will feature the largest prize pool, and only players with enough points will qualify. So this early Test Tournament is a great way to get a head start.
