Champions League


 * Were you looking for the Grand Champions League?

The Champions League is a special Land in Cookie Run: OvenBreak, as well as a game mode accessed in this land, introduced on January 16, 2017. It is a difficult land that is only available to the top players of Trophy Race, and only for limited periods of time.

This land is themed after Ancient Greek mythology and architecture.

Land Summary
"A legendary league from long, long ago is about to rise again... Some call it the Battle of Gods... you will soon find out why. You must be a skilled runner. Only the chosen few are allowed to enter the league."

- Dark Choco Cookie

Rules
The Champions League works in seasons. These seasons are organized into Big Seasons which are composed of Sub-Seasons. Big Seasons are a series of Sub-Seasons whose name, Jelly Set, and statuette rewards are all themed after the same Cookie, and Sub-Seasons are each regular two-week period of competition. Big Seasons come in variable lengths, though the Grand Champions League always happens at the end of a Big Season. The word season on its own usually means Sub-Season.

Each Sub-Season starts with three day preseason followed by 11 days of competition. During the preseason, the Champions League is closed and unaccessable, except for the Medal Exchange Center and Hall of Fame. During the preseason, the goal is to earn the required Trophies in Trophy Race to play in the League. After the preseason ends, the Champions League opens for the competitors who qualified. If a competitor falls below the trophy requirement after the preseason ends, they can still play during the current sub-season. After the sub-season ends, rewards will be received and the preseason for the next Champions League or Grand Champions League will begin.

During the competition, three Arenas are available. A competitor's best scores in each Arena are summed to get their final score. Each Arena has different stages and special rules, including a limited variety of allowed Cookies, Pets, and Treasures. The combis allowed will never include Cookies, Pets or Treasures introduced in the current season. These Arenas are usually difficult variations of areas previously seen in other modes, though original areas have been featured as well. An Arena will usually be available in multiple consecutive Sub-Seasons before being rotated out.

Rewards
At the end of the Sub-Season, Champions Medals are awarded based on the player's Trophy count in Trophy Race. The medals received are calculated by the formula: (current Trophies-9,900)/2. Trophies are then reduced based on the amount of Medals gained. For example, a player with 10,000 Trophies will gain 50 Medals and drop to 9,950 Trophies, and a player with 10,500 Trophies will gain 300 Medals and drop to 10,200 Trophies. Players who qualify for the League do not actually need to participate for their Trophies to be converted into Champions Medals. Champions Medals are also gained for reaching high scores in Arenas, up to 500 Medals, and as part of the ranking reward.

The final ranking reward includes Champions Medals, a Cookie Chest or Pet Egg key, and a statuette. Statuettes have no gameplay effect and are only for being displayed in player profiles. Competitors who reached at least silver rank will also receive a decorative profile frame which will be visible on ranking screens and the Trophy Race result screen during the following Sub-Season, and competitors who reached at least gold rank will receive a ticket to the next Grand Champions League if they do not already have one. Competitors who are participating in their first Sub-Season are not part of the rankings and do not receive any ranking rewards.

Medal Exchange
Main Article: Medal Exchange Center

Champions Medals earned in the League are spent at the Medal Exchange Center. The Legendary Cookies Moonlight Cookie and Wind Archer Cookie can both be bought here, along with a costume for each of them, a Jelly Set themed after the current Big Season, and general items including a Cookie, a Pet, and a Treasure. The Medal Exchange can be accessed in Land 9, so Medals can still be exchanged when the Champions League is closed.

Mystic Jewel Exchange
While running in the Champions League, Mystic Jewels will spawn. These winged Jewels will fly across the screen like an Ingredient Pouch for every six minutes of running done in the League. For every five collected Jewels, a reward can be redeemed from the Rewards List. The first reward received will always be a Sacred Coin Blessing, which passively increases the amount of Coins collected in the current Champions League by 10%. Following rewards will be randomly selected from the list. After one of the rewards is received, it can't be received again until the player collects all the rewards. This gives another slightly modified reward list. The list will also reset between Sub-Seasons.

The second and third Champions League Sub-Seasons had different Sacred Blessings. Brave Season 2's Sacred Blessing was "Last spurt of a Relay Cookie before falling", similar to the Divine Aurora Extract Flask, and Brave Season 3's Sacred Blessing was "Cheerleaders' Cheerful Cheer", which recovered Energy when a cheer was received. A bug with this Blessing resulting in it being removed before the Season ended, and it was replaced with the Sacred Coin Blessing used in the first Sub-Season and all modern Seasons.

Hall of Fame
The Hall of Fame displays the top three highest scoring players in the Champions League. All players can pay tribute to each of the three Champions for a small reward of Crystals or Rescue Tickets. This reward resets at the same time as Daily Quests and other daily rewards.

Stages
These are the stages that debuted in the Champions League, in the land Battle of Gods. They may or may not be available to play depending on the current Arenas. {| class="article-table" border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" style="width: 700px;"
