The Joust is a competition that looks to find the strongest Hero in the Realms by putting participants through a grueling series of tests:
Class Jousts, Group Stage, and the Final Duel.

Participants in the Joust first went through the respective Class Jousts. Two finalists from each Class Joust advanced to The Group Stage, which consisted of 10 players divided into 2 separate groups consisting of one of each character class. The Group Stage was a Round Robin format where each hero competed against all of the other heroes in their group in Best of 3 matches. The winner of each group advanced to the Final Duel (with ties decided by record against opponent), which was a best of 7 match.

 But enough explanation, let’s get to the results!

This post celebrates the achievements of those who participated in the event, including the Joust Champion, Omsk! Omsk won the event playing as a ranger. He faced corybear88’s ranger in the Final Duel.

43 individual players participated in the inaugural Lists, which began with 5 separate Joust Tournaments: Cleric Joust (32 entries), Fighter Joust (34 entries), Thief Joust (34 entries), Ranger Joust (35 entries), and Wizard Joust (32 entries).

The Joust rules had participating players bring a single Level 12 character to face off against other heroes of the same class in an elimination tournament. The winners of the individual Class Jousts were:

Cleric Champion: 

Fighter Champion: 

Ranger Champion: 

Thief Champion: 

Wizard Champion: 

The Class Joust Champions and runners up advanced to the Group Stage, with the exception of Nudeltulpe’s cleric, who was replaced by Rucksack’s 3rd place cleric (Nudeltulpe chose to bring his thief to the Group Stage).

5 randomly selected heroes, one from each class, made up Group A with the remaining five heroes forming Group B. Each Group stage pit the top heroes from the Class Jousts in a Round Robin format where each hero competed against all of the other heroes in their group in Best of 3 matches.

GROUP B
