In just four months of release, Dunk City Dynasty has taken the mobile gaming world by storm, averaging over 85K players monthly. This free-to-play game is getting this love thanks to its simple concept: actual NBA players in a 3-on-3 streetball experience.
And thanks to that popularity, they have finally announced the first-ever Dunk City Dynasty Global Championship (DCDG 2025). You think you have what it takes to win it all? There is a hefty prize pool waiting for you then. But before that, let's go over the registration details of the tournament.
How to register for DCDG 2025?
The tournament will span over seven global regions, and at the end, players will gather offline to compete on the main stage. Talking about the schedule, it is divided into three main categories - Qualifiers, Regional Finals, and Global Finals.
The Qualifier registrations are now open until September 25. Each team may register up to five accounts of three starters and two substitutes. Players of any tier can take part in registrations. However, in case of team count exceeding 32 in a particular region, all registered teams will be ranked by converting team members' ranked tiers into team points, including substitutes.
The top 32 teams will qualify. So having a strong team will be crucial for it. To register, all you need to know is to fill out the form available on the official Dunk City Mobile website with all players' UIDs and names.
