Rise of the Midas Cup

Alternatively, players can participate in the Rise of Midas Cup, a free tournament in which they have the opportunity to earn the complete Ascendant Midas set by achieving a high placement in the competition, and you’ll get the skin two days before it is releases on the Item Shop.

The Rise of Midas Cup is a Solo Battle Royale tournament that unfolds in the “Midas Presents: Floor is Lava” mode, which is a special version featuring golden lava.

For those interested in participating in the Rise of the Midas Cup, the tournament kicks off on Sunday, March 24. Players are advised to check the Complete Tab in-game to determine the precise start time of the event in their respective regions.

Furthermore, even those who do not secure the top rewards will still receive a Participation Reward in the form of the “The Rise of Midas” loading screen simply by entering the Rise of Midas Cup and attaining 8 points.
