Season 4 officially launches this Friday, September 5.
This update represents a major expansion of the BNCS platform, bringing competitive rankings, player progression, website systems, interactive features, and a new season of tournaments together in one place.
Here is everything launching with Season 4.
BNCS Season 4 introduces a new season of official competitive events focused primarily around Duos, while continuing to feature Solo, Trio, and experimental formats.
Throughout the season, players will compete in official tournaments, build their competitive record, and work toward qualifying for the Season 4 Championship.
The season will also feature experimental events designed to test new formats and expand competitive play within BuildNowGG.
The official BNCS PR System launches with Season 4.
Players earn PR through their tournament performance.
Each tournament will be assigned a PR multiplier when it is announced:
1ร โ Standard
2ร โ Increased
5ร โ Major
PR will be tracked throughout the season and will contribute toward the official Season 4 PR leaderboard.
The player with the most PR at the end of the season will receive the Season PR Award, including a $25 prize.
