Join the second Worlds Qualifier on BGA
The race for the next Altered Worlds Championship continues! The second Roots of Corruption Worlds Qualifier is coming Oct. 25, where players will battle in Frontier to win a seat at the table at Worlds and prove themselves among the Great Ones of Asgartha.
With digital Evil Eye alternate-art playsets up for grabs, exclusive faction champion rewards, and a Worlds Championship invitation on the line, this is your chance to make your mark on the ROC competitive season.

Every eligible participant can earn digital alternate art versions of Evil Eye cards, with additional playsets awarded for reaching the Top Cut and advancing through the elimination bracket. Every player who completes at least three rounds will receive a digital playset of the ROC Evil Eye alternate art associated with their hero’s faction. This is a new reward structure that can be shown off right away as alternate art cards have gone live on BGA!
Top Cut and progression rewards
Making the Top Cut means more than just a chance at the title. Players who qualify for the Top 16 will receive an additional Evil Eye alternate-art playset of their choice, from any faction. From there, every round won in the single-elimination stage earns another playset, giving players even more rewards as they progress towards the championship.
The champion will receive all faction versions of the ROC Evil Eye alternate art playsets, completing the collection! These additional rewards are subject to the tournament's eligibility requirements, including playing at least three rounds.
Faction Champion reward
The faction champion will also receive a special digital Exalted Hexarch from Seeds of Unity featuring an exclusive Faction Champion stamp. This reward continues the tradition established at the Skybound Odyssey World Qualifier, celebrating the player who reaches the top of their faction.
The ultimate prize: a Worlds Championship invitation
The tournament champion will earn an invitation to the next Altered Worlds Championship event. All Top Cut participants who have not previously received a Worlds Championship invitation will receive an invitation to the ROC Season Invitational, where additional Worlds Championship spots will be on the line. This makes every match in the Top 16 particularly important, whether you're fighting for the title or looking to secure your place at the next major competitive event.
If the tournament winner has already secured a Worlds Championship invitation, a playoff will be held between the last two players eliminated by that winner to determine who receives the invitation. All other tournament rewards will remain with their original recipients and will not be passed down.
Before registering, make sure you're familiar with the following rules:
- Undo is enabled.
- One deck for the entire tournament: You must use the same deck throughout the event. Players who switch decks during the tournament will forfeit all prize support.
- BGA pairings and rulings apply: Pairings and win conditions will follow Board Game Arena's systems. If you encounter an issue, we encourage you to submit a support ticket. However, because this is a real-time tournament, decisions enforced by BGA cannot be reversed during the event.
Please make sure your deck is ready before the tournament begins and allow enough time to complete the full event.
The second ROC Worlds Qualifier is another opportunity to test your Frontier skills, earn exclusive digital rewards and take a step closer to the next Altered Worlds Championship.
Whether you're aiming to complete your Evil Eye alternate-art collection, claim the Faction Champion reward or fight your way to a Worlds invitation, the road to glory starts here. Register now on Board Game Arena.
