Basically the format of the tournament is a 7 on 7 players using the different classes with no repeating jobs. Each player has a the same fixed amount of zeny to budget. The equipment and supplies are listed with prices according to their effect, importance and overall impact. There are a lot of rules for the game and some notable ones are upgrading the equipment will be until safe limit, no cards or equips with 100% resistance to status ailments, no trading, Emperium will be purchased during the tournament etc.

I stumbled upon the video of Ragnarok Korean Championship 2017 while browsing the posted videos of Gravity Corporation. I was excited to see happened to the tournaments since I was out of Ragnarok Online loop since pRO has shut down.

jRO's RJC 2012 Rules with 3rd Job Classes

jRO launched their RJC 2012 tournament! And guess what they are the first official server attempting to use 3rd jobs in their tournament.

Most official servers are hesitant to try 3rd jobs on their local tournaments because balancing patch hasn't arrived on their servers yet. As we all know most of the third jobs skills leans more on guild clashes so for a 7on7 tournament these skills seems over powered. A single third job status ailment can render a class or team useless considering that we only have 7 people working together. jRO for those who doesn't know has their own balancing fixes different from kRO. An example would be the fixed cast is only applied to 3rd job skills.

During pre-renewal, jRO is also the first official server to include transcendent class on their local tournament even before kRO set the rules for it. So here's the overview of their rules for this year after the break.

Ragnarok World Championship 2011 Results

The Ragnarok World Championship 2011 has commenced last October 15, 2011 in Seoul, South Korea. Eleven teams from 42 countries compete for the title of becoming the champion for RWC2011. Fans all over the world are given the chance to watch the matches and events through streaming at the RWC 2011 official site. The streaming is only active during the event.

Our countries representative had been chosen rigidly from a complicated mechanics. There are three ways to get a chance to have a slot in RPC 2011 Championship namely be on top of Agit Lords, Vote your guild for the Wild Card or compete on Regionals by attending events on selected cities/town on different parts of the country. At the end of the tournaments Naked Nanaman was chosen to be our representative. However due to an uncontrolled circumstance as posted on the Official Statement of pRO the team didn't make it to South Korea to represent our country. I'm now sure what exactly happen but I'm disappointed that the team didn't have the chance to compete. I'm looking forward every year to see if our country will finally make it as a champion but unfortunately this year we never had the chance.

After an intense battle we had the results. The RWC 2011 champion goes to Thailand proving that they had the skills to be champions for another year. The second place goes to Brazil which makes this their first time on the ranks. The third place goes to the host country South Korea. Congratulations to the winners.

Ragnarok World Championship 2004

Ragnarok World Championship has always been the highlight of every competitive player of Ragnarok Online. But have you seen the old school competition of RWC? Well, I've been lurking in YouTube and found an interesting post which might tickle your sense of competition. It's the RWC 2004 competition in South Korea. I have no idea what the rules are before but it seems both teams are using only 1 Wizard and 1 Priest. Oh! you heard it right they are using 3-1 jobs. This is the time where the only available class is until 3-1 jobs only. The fun thing about the video is that it's a 9 on 9 chaotic battle. So what are you waiting for, watch the video after the break.

Our countries representative had been chosen from the champion of Ragnarok Philippine Championship 2010 (RPC2010) road to Indonesia. At the end of RPC 2010, the pride of our country rests on the shoulders of Team Shivans (Naked Babies). If I'm not mistaken they have undergone a rigorous practice before their actual matches in Indonesia.
