Skywalking Global League
Skywalking Global League (SGL) is an unofficial Arknights tournament, and the first-ever tournament to be contested between all five of the game's official servers. It is organized by five groups representing each server:
- Babel Progressors from mainland China (CN), who is also the head organizer;
- Lungmen Dragons from Global (EN),
- Projekt Fuji from Japan (JP),
- Team Keo from Korea (KR), and
- Ae?gir Organizing Committee from Taiwan/Hong Kong/Macau (TW).
The tournament will be played entirely through the game mode Integrated Strategies #3: Mizuki & Caerula Arbor on maximum difficulty — Surging Waves +15. Each server sent four representatives in the main event, for a total of twenty players. These representatives were decided through a qualifying phase held on each server during April 2024, with the exception of JP, which instead used the final results of Projekt Fuji's "Far East Cup" (極東杯), a pre-Expansion 2 Integrated Strategies #3 tournament held on late August 2023.
The qualifiers for Global server ran from April 17 to April 29, 2024, while the main event is tentatively scheduled for May 17 until May 28, 2024.[1]
This particular edition is named Skywalking Global League #1, implying the possibility of future editions. Prior to this, Babel Progressors had organized a CN-only tournament named "Skywalking League #0" (通天联赛#0), which was played through Integrated Strategies 4: Expeditioner's Joklumarkar on maximum difficulty and held during August-September 2023.[2]
Qualifying Stage (Global)
- The following section pertains to Global server only; other servers implemented different scoring and qualifying system.
Rules
All valid runs must play on Surging Waves +15 and achieve the Stella Caerula ending.
- Due to resource constraints, Lungmen Dragons will NOT hold live-streamed qualifiers.
- Instead, you must record the entire run by yourself (can be split into two or more videos), upload the raw recordings as Unlisted videos on YouTube, and submit the YouTube links to this Google Forms link provided by the organizer.
- All runs must be from Global (EN) accounts and play in Global, which is easily identified by the use of English language.
- If a player was discovered to have participated in another server's SGL qualifier, their Global server entry will be disqualified.
- If a player was detected to have cheated (e.g. used illegal mods, artificial speed, video cuts, etc.), they will be disqualified.
Four players from the Global server will qualify for the main event:
- Top 3 with the highest scores advance.
- A fourth special spot is reserved for judges' choice, whether it be using unconventional operators, creative strategies, or exceptionally "clean" gameplay.

- Despite finishing 2nd on Far East Cup, Sars was not selected as a JP server representative, presumably because the player doesn't live in Japan or doesn't use Japanese as their primary language.
