Dark and Darker is getting a full weekend of competition. IRONMACE said on Dark and Darker’s Steam news page that the EAS9 Warlord Tournament will run from Friday, July 10 through Sunday, July 12, 2026.
The event brings together the top 24 Warlord teams from around the world. Asia starts at 10:00 UTC on July 10, North America follows at 01:00 UTC on July 11, and Europe closes things out at 14:00 UTC on July 12.
The matches will stream on the official IRONMACE Twitch channel at IRONMACE’s Twitch. That setup follows the June signup rules laid out in the EAS9 Warlord signup story, where teams had to enter as full trios with the Warlord rank requirement.
The rewards are Redstone Shards and tournament nameplates, with first place earning 300 shards per player, second place earning 200, and third place earning 100.
The bracket graphics show the eight-team fields for Asia, North America, and Europe, with the road to the finals already mapped out.
We’ll be watching how the brackets shake out. Tell us what you think in the comments, and if you want more tournament coverage, follow us on X, Bluesky, YouTube, Instagram.
