Might & Magic Fates crowns its Colosseum Season 3 champion Aug. 22 as CerwonyHomar meets naiG in a best-of-seven

In Brief:

• The Colosseum Season 3 grand final of Ubisoft’s Might & Magic Fates pits CerwonyHomar against naiG on Aug. 22 at 6 p.m. CEST.
• The format is a best-of-seven, broadcast live on the GwentarTV Twitch channel, with CerwonyHomar streaming his own point of view alongside it.
• The fixture is the strongest indication so far that a repeating competitive circuit is forming around Fates, the Immutable-powered card game Ubisoft rolled out globally in February.

A Colosseum Season 3 champion will be decided on Aug. 22, when CerwonyHomar and naiG open a best-of-seven in Might & Magic Fates at 6 p.m. CEST.

The series airs live on Twitch through GwentarTV. According to the game’s official account, which revealed both the pairing and the start time, CerwonyHomar plans to stream his own view of the matches as they unfold.

Outside the game’s own community channels, neither competitor has a broadly documented tournament history. GwentarTV, a Brazilian card gamer and caster, has grown into one of the more prominent Fates broadcasters since the title shipped.

A circuit starting to form

Well before release, Ubisoft was talking up its intention to build a competitive scene for Fates. The first tournament arrived in November 2025 at the YGG Play Summit in Manila, an eight-player invitational staged on the Summit’s Arena stage while the game was still unreleased.

Victory went to YGG Esports player Tyler, who beat content creator Archer Perez in the final. Of the $5,000 prize pool, Tyler collected $1,500.

That bracket used single elimination, pairing best-of-one quarterfinals with best-of-three semifinals and final. Entrants could bring custom decks or fall back on the pre-built lists that ship with the game. Hearthstone professionals CaraCute and Staz joined the field, as did YGG Esports members Feno and spamandrice and creators Een Mercado and VMiguel Gonzales. Haven was the pick for most of the lineup, Tyler and Perez included.

The Colosseum decider goes further than that. A best-of-seven runs longer than any series the game has put on publicly.

The game underneath

Fates is the 12th Might & Magic release from Ubisoft and its third web3 venture, following Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles and Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E. Immutable powers the trading layer, with cards issued as NFTs on Immutable zkEVM.

Trades run through an external marketplace and are limited to what Ubisoft calls “eligible regions.” The publisher says the feature is optional and “provides no competitive advantage.” Anyone who ignores it plays the same game.

In place of a conventional mana pool, the design uses a gold system generated by the cards in a player’s hand. Decks are 30 cards drawn from factions including Haven, Inferno, Academy and Necropolis. Heroes fight alongside creatures, equip artifacts and gain experience mid-match to unlock abilities.

Indonesia, Poland and Australia received the game first, ahead of a worldwide mobile release on Feb. 4. Steam Early Access came on Feb. 16, with cross-platform play linking PC and mobile.

Season churn

The in-client ranked ladder follows its own calendar and has already moved ahead. Ladder Season 3 wrapped up and Season 4 opened with Giovanni the Vampire Knight, a new Dark Set, Chapter 2 of the Heroes Pass and the Dragon Order. A fresh Heroes Pass season kicked off Monday.

Ranks climb from Apprentice to Celestial, and rewards scale with the rank a player finishes at.

Ubisoft’s earlier crypto pushes never took hold. Quartz, the 2021 platform that sold cosmetic NFTs called Digits, drew heavy player backlash before being quietly shelved. Grimoria Chronicles and Captain Laserhawk both landed with low engagement.

Executive Producer Sylvain Loe Mie described the Manila invitational as “an important testing ground to explore the game’s competitive potential,” and said Ubisoft has “strong ambitions for the esports future” of Fates.
