The group stage of the Three Great Human Nations Tournament was a huge success in and out of the world of Rise Online.
While the temporary city created around the Valkyria Arena was buzzing with partying, socializing, and excitement, the RO community was also very excited as this was the first major internal tournament for this great game. There have been other smaller tournaments, but they were only supported by the company that owns Rise Online, i.e. Hónghé Holdings only provided a server and a part of the prize pool to boost the marketing of the game.
So not only players from the races living in Midgard were excited, but also players from many other races and worlds in Rise Online. After all, this was a chance for everyone to see skills, items, classes, and players they had never seen before.
