A leader in online mobile games, KLab Inc., has announced that its head-to-head football simulation game Captain Tsubasa: Dream Team introduced a new Rating System for the Dream Championship worldwide tournament starting from Friday, February 4.
About the Rating System
The Dream Championship 2022 is scheduled to be held this year at a yet to be determined date. In an effort to better review participation in the tournament, in addition to the existing methods, a brand new Rating System will be introduced and utilized in-game.
The new Rating System will calculate user rankings based on the monthly results of the Rank Matches, Cup Championship, and League Matches and the final top ranking users will be given the opportunity to participate in the Dream Championship 2022.
*Results from January 2022 onward will be displayed.
Up until recently, the main way to participate in the Dream Championship was to win the Online Qualifiers held during a three week period in-game. However, with the introduction of the Rating System, the results will reflect users who have been playing the game for longer periods of time.
According to the organisers: “We hope that users continue to enjoy playing Captain Tsubasa: Dream Team and look forward to the Dream Championship 2022.
In addition to the rating system, we plan to implement the Online Qualifiers method as a direct means for participation in the Dream Championship 2022. Further details will be announced on the official website at a later date.”
Even after the end of the initial serialization, the story has continued to evolve with new works highlighting the growth and development of main character Tsubasa Ozora. The series’ popularity continues to thrive, with Captain Tsubasa Rising Sun finishing its appearance in Shueisha’s manga anthology, Grand Jump in 2019, and a special issue called Captain Tsubasa Magazine began serialization in 2020.
The series has sold over 70 million volumes in Japan alone. Captain Tsubasa’s popularity extends beyond borders, having been translated and published around the world in 20 languages, finding fans and winning the hearts of football lovers around the globe.
