Crystal Scar

The Crystal Scar is a map on League of Legends. This map is unique in it's combat style, favouring fast paced action packed combat over the more tactical approach of Summoner's Rift and Twisted Treeline.

To win a Crystal Scar battle the team must drain 500 points of health from the opponents Nexus. This is done by capturing a selection of five points around the map. Once your team has three or more under control the enemy Nexus begins draining, the more you control the faster it is drained.

Crsytal Scar is currently only available in normal mode and there are no ranked games played on it. ESL however does have tournaments on the Crystal Scar which have been gaining popularity due to the speed of combat and the chance of recovery almost no matter how badly the team started off.
