Pearl Abyss announced on November 6 that it will host the finals of the '2026 Master Class' on November 7 and 8 to determine the top player across each of Black Desert's 32 classes.
The final matches will be broadcast live on the official Black Desert CHZZK channel. 'Master Class' is a 1v1 tournament to select one winner per class, where participants compete with identical gear and class under 'Arena of Arsha' match rules. Victory goes to the Adventurer who first wins 3 out of 5 rounds.
First held in 2025, the tournament marks its second edition this year. The main tournament for this year's event began on October 17, and after about a month of main matches and semifinals, the final matchups for each class have been set.
Each class winner will receive a permanent 'Glorious Arsha Awakening Weapon,' 20,000 Pearls, and 60,000 'Cron Stones'. Championship rewards also include exclusive winner titles, a 1-year pass for the 'Gryphon Mount,' the residence furniture item '1st Place Trophy,' and the 'Victory Diamond Ring'.
Following the Korean tournament, the global tournament 'Master Class World Finals' will take place in April 2027. The final participants will be determined through a match between the 2025 and 2026 champions, with the selection matches scheduled for November 21 and 22.
