So this is my 1st Glory war event since playing and thought I would share information I have learned from the event here to keep you guys updated and those who don't know what it is! 

Stage 1 - Qualification

In this stage you must battle other players to accumulate points, if you have accumulated enough points to rank in the top 64 you will qualify for Glory War.

Now there are over 2700 characters on s31 alone! so it is no small feat considering all 32 servers participate.

I personally spent 5000 diamonds just to get my character into the top 64 to qualify (with my BR 350,000).

    - The reason I spent these gems (madness!!) is that the top 64 qualified receive 500 x Warlord Insignia (which can be traded for cool Artifact! I believe are powerful! I will post outcome when I get rewards)

Stage 2 - Group Stage

Once qualified you now enter stage 2.

This is a elimination stage, the 64 people are grouped  into 8 groups of 8 people. You fight elimination style until 1 person is left in each group. **See screen shot**

Now since my 1st elimination fight is against a (BR 941,000) player I am most likely going to be knocked out on this stage! But not before I get to have a good look at some of the top players setups!!! which I will post 1 screenshot here but others (including their mercs) in another thread.
