For example, in a BO3 3-leader conquest, if a player registers Leader A, Leader B, and Leader C, and wins the first game with Leader A, Leader A becomes unavailable for the second game, and Leader B or Leader C must be used. If the player wins the second game with Leader A, he/she cannot use Leader A in the second game and must use Leader B or Leader C. If the player uses Leader B and wins the game, he/she wins the match without using Leader C because the game will be played in BO3, where the player who wins two games first wins. 4 Conquest method A matchup method in which the leader who wins the match cannot be used. For example, in a BO3 3-leader registration conquest, if a player registers Leader A, Leader B, and Leader C. If the first match is won by Leader A, Leader A becomes unavailable for the second match, and Leader B or Leader C must be used. If you then use Leader B and win the match, you win the match without using Leader C because the BO3 will be played with the first two winners winning.
