HoYoverse finally announced a Genshin Impact TCG community Tournament called “Cat’s Tail Gathering.”
Genshin Impact, at its core, is an action RPG game. The game was developed by HoYoverse, previously known as MiHoYo. Genshin Impact has Anime graphics with a heavy focus on elemental combat mechanics. Each character in Genshin Impact is associated with one of the seven elements, and the reactions between these elements is what are used to deal massive damage to enemies.
But after 2 years of doing the same elemental reactions, some players are a little burnt out. So back in December of 2022, during the 3.3 update, HoYoverse released the Genshin Impact card game called The Genius Invokation TCG.
In this card game, each character is a card and a very extensive battle system is implemented, making it a totally separate game from Genshin. Since its release, players have been collecting all the cards and coming up with different strategies to defeat their opponents.
And now HoYoverse wants to test out the skills of the playerbase to find out the best of the best. Just a few days ago, HoYoverse announced a TCG tournament for players based in the USA. And now, after months of TCG being out, we finally have a community tournament. The name of the TCG community tournament is Cat’s Tail Gathering,” and more than $150000 cash prizes are up for grabs for the winners.
The event is organized by Tavern and authorized by HoYoverse. So it’s a third-party tournament. But still, we are happy to finally get a TCG tournament, as we will get to witness the ultimate duels between TCG masters.
