At 0:00 on February 28th (GMT +8), the February season on Netease platform ladder officially ended. After the restructuring of the WGL, the ladder has become an important way to advance to the offline tournament, and this time the ladder was particularly fierce.

In the standings, Korean players were still being hard-working, and occupied 6 seats of the top 10. Chinese players only have Life, Infi and Romantic among the top 10.



According to the rules, the top 5 players in the ladder will receive 10 points, which is also the same as the champion of WGL-Minor League professional division. In other words, it is more important to play the ladder than to play the tournaments!


Now, the March season has officially opened, go to get the points for the offline tournament!
