Guardian Games is here! Banners unfurl in the Tower as Guardians return from the Throne World, ready to trade in their swamp-soaked boots for glory and gold. Titans, Warlocks, and Hunters; which class will claim the podium's top step?

In a brand-new out-of-game event, we have assembled class fireteams from across the globe to participate in our first ever Guardian Games Cup - a friendly competition to see which team in the world has what it takes to come out on top. From May 3 to May 24, cheer for your favorite streamers as they compete in class teams, both in-game and for charity! Over 14 territories are participating, which brings us to a total of 42 different teams all vying for number one! 
Keep an eye out on this post every week on Tuesday at 10 AM PDT as we update the standings to reveal which team and class compiled of your favorite streamers are in the lead. 

CURRENT STANDINGS 

We’re moving into the final week of Guardian Games now, and we’re excited to share the scores for Week Two below! The Warlocks continue to take the lead in the Guardian Games Cup, with team ECLIPSE at the top of the leaderboard – but fret not, there’s still a chance for other teams to catch up!
As previously explained, we are only counting the officially registered team members when scoring and will average outreach team's score (total team score divided by number of team members) for the fairest comparison since the teams will vary in size.

There are two components to the Guardian Games Cup - read on to learn all about it more. 

IN-GAME POINTS 

Each week, the participating teams have a set two-hour slot to earn and dunk as many medallions as they can at the podium to rack up the most points for their class. The medallion dunks are tracked on the back end for those two hours, so each team has the same time to do the best they can every week. Easy, right?  
Each team captain will be earning medallions with up to five other selected fireteam members, and streaming for two hours each of these weeks:

• Week One: May 3, 12 AM PDT - May 9, 12 AM PDT 

• Week Two: May 9, 12 AM PDT - May 16, 12 AM PDT 

• Week Three: May 16, 12 AM PDT - May 22, 12 AM PDT  

We will be tracking the teams and updating their scores at the weekly reset every Tuesday at 10 AM PDT so you can see for yourselves who's coming out on top!  

We are only counting the officially registered team members when scoring and will average out each team's score (total team score divided by number of team members) for the fairest comparison since the teams will vary in size. 
We have some spectacular prizes for the participating teams too: 

• Best Team in Class will receive custom-made silver trophies with their BungieID or Guardian username engraved to keep (3 teams).

• Best Team Overall will receive custom-made gold trophies with their BungieID or Guardian username engraved to keep, and customized Guardian-Games-themed artwork of their Guardians by the talented Gammatrap (1 team). 

Keep an eye out for the streams and social announcements, too, because you could also win a Follow the Light emblem - only being distributed by the streamers participating! 

PARTNERSHIP WITH BUNGIE FOUNDATION AND DIRECT RELIEF 

But why stop there? Guardian Games Cup will be yet another amazing charity initiative with the Bungie Foundation. We are partnering again with Direct Relief to raise funds for charity. Direct Relief is a humanitarian aid organization, active in the US and more than 80 countries, with a mission to improve the health and lives of people affected by poverty or emergencies - without regard to politics, religion, or ability to pay. 
The charity component is an additional way for us all to donate to causes that matter and make a difference. The charity component of the Guardian Games Cup has no interaction with the method we are using to count the in-game scoring/medal medallion deposits. 
Each team participating in the Guardian Games Cup will have their own unique link for the charity, so make sure you donate to support your favorite team! Not only is it a contest for points and medals, it's also a contest to see who can raise the most money for a good cause. 
There will be some excellent prizes, both in and out of Destiny 2, for participants to enjoy when donations are made to Direct Relief.  

• Guardian's Oath is a brand-new emblem for those who donate $25 USD or more. 

• The individual with the highest donation will receive custom digital artwork of a single subject of their choice from PherianArt. 

• The team raising the most funds will receive custom digital artwork of their amazing Guardian Games fireteam from PherianArt.
