During the 2024 World Championship weekend in Osaka, The Flesh and Blood Trading Card Game (TCG) introduced an exciting new award for its most dedicated competitors: the Player of the Year award. This prestigious title is part of the upcoming Flesh and Blood World Tour, a rebranding of the expansive, competitive circuit that aims to bring together players worldwide for an unforgettable experience of gaming and global camaraderie. With a total prize pool of $1.5 million, the tour spans over 130 events in 2025, catering to players of all levels—whether seasoned professionals or enthusiastic newcomers.
The Road to Player of the Year
The Player of the Year title is awarded to the player who accumulates the most World Tour Points over the 2024/2025 season. The competition kicks off with Battle Hardened Hiroshima in November 2024 and continues across multiple high-stakes tournaments until the World Championship in 2025, where the Player of the Year will finally be announced. The award not only offers the title of the year’s top competitor but also boasts a generous prize pool of $100,000! The Player of the Year will receive $25,000, while regional champions and runners-up from around the world will also be recognized, with awards ranging from $5,000 to $15,000 USD.
How to Earn World Tour Points
The journey to becoming Player of the Year revolves around accumulating World Tour Points, awarded based on placements in various major tournaments. Here’s a breakdown of points for the main event types:
- World Championship: The ultimate competition, offering between 6 and 32 points depending on placement. A first-place victory here grants 32 points.
- Pro Tour: Another high-stakes event where first place earns 28 points, second place 25 points, and points scale down to the 32nd position.
- National Championship: Points vary based on the size of the event, rewarding top performers with points ranging from 9 to 16 for first place in larger competitions.
- Calling: For a significant step up, winners earn 16 points, with points awarded down to the top 32.
- Battle Hardened: These smaller events offer a stepping stone for players to gather points, especially helpful for those just entering the competitive scene.
The points system incentivizes players to compete consistently across FaB TCG’s various premiere events, building their score over the year. For each event, top placements lead to valuable points, keeping players competitive and encouraging players from around the world to participate.
The Importance of the World Tour and Player of the Year Award
The Player of the Year award is a testament to a player’s skill, dedication, and consistency across a range of premiere-level tournaments throughout the tour. As players compete for this coveted title, they also strengthen bonds within the community, meet other passionate players, and travel globally, adding a unique dimension to the competitive experience. The Flesh and Blood World Tour provides a platform for competitors to not only showcase their skills but also connect deeply with others who share their passion while seeing the world.
From the US to Europe and APAC, the Flesh and Blood World Tour underscores the spirit of TCGs: bringing together people of all backgrounds to celebrate the common language of great games. For the contenders aiming to secure the title of Player of the Year, every event, every battle, and every point earned is a step toward cementing their legacy in the game’s history.
Looking Ahead to 2025
With the 2025 Flesh and Blood World Tour launch, players are gearing up for an unforgettable competitive year. Whether attending the Pro Tours, National Championships, Callings, or Battle Hardeneds, each event offers players a chance to climb the leaderboard, inching closer to the coveted title.
