Announcements - ExileCon 2023 Race Qualifier Events - Forum

At ExileCon in July, we will be hosting a competitive Path of Exile event live on the main stage. This event will be the culmination of a series of four qualifier events where Path of Exile's best racers will compete for a spot in the finale. In each of these events, players will compete to be the first to kill Kitava in Act 5 in a Standard Solo Self-Found fixed seed environment.

League fixes when ?	Posted by Kazon666 on Apr 20, 2023, 5:30:06 PM Quote this Post
Why is every event on the same day of the week at the same time? Mix it up so that people working at 2PM on Thursdays aren't allowed to participate. I understand why you'd need it at the same time, and want to avoid weekends, but do the first event on a Friday, and move backwards a day for each following week/event.
