HoYoverse has announced Genshin Impact‘s first international Genius Invokation TCG Tournament Series entitled Astra Carnival: The Prince Cup.

Scheduled to open in the latter half of 2023, the tournament series will play host to regional tournaments and invitationals, win rewards, watch live games, and even host their own unofficial competitions. Genshin Impact players from multiple nations and regions can join six regional championships and a number of invitational tournaments fighting for a share of the prize pool worth over $270,000.

Currently, the Prince Cup consists of two parts: six regional tournaments happening between June to September, plus three cross-regional invitationals in June, August, and December.

In each regional, top candidates from the “Cat’s Tail Gathering” community tournaments and wildcard competitions will compete for the regional championship, and players who advance to the quarter-finals will compete on-site, with the live broadcast on the official AstraCarnival Twitter, YouTube, Twitch and TikTok channel.

Top regional candidates as well as top community tournament candidates may also get invited to the invitationals and take part in exhibition games for the international audience.

Interested parties can now register their own non-official Genshin Impact Genius Invokation Tournament and get support from HoYoverse. For more information, read more on the Non-Official Tournament Collaboration Rules page.

The Astra Carnival: The Prince Cup aims to provide bigger stages for talented players and diverse fun for fans and gamers in and outside the game.
