「NEW ORIGIN 3周年記念放送内容の概要」Dear CEO, This is Hyunsoo Kim, Head PD of CounterSide. Through today’s Origin 3rd Anniversary live stream, we briefly introduced the content scheduled to be updated in the first half of 2026. We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to all CEOs who continue to show their unwavering interest and support for CounterSide. It was a pleasure to connect with you during the live live stream, and we truly appreciate the enthusiasm and encouragement you shared with us. Below, you will find a brief overview and summary of the updates planned for the first half of 2026 that were introduced during today’s live stream.▣ New Awakened Employee – Freyja HildeAs CounterSide’s first-ever Awakened Employee, Hilde returns in a new form as the February Awakened Employee. The new Awakened Employee [Freyja Hilde] is a Supporter-class unit designed around the concept of a battlefield commander. Having reclaimed her sealed power, Hilde takes on the role of a commanding presence on the battlefield, granting special buffs to the leader of the deployed squad. These effects are further enhanced when the squad includes Fenrir Squad members such as [Fenrir Type Yoo Mina], [Arhat Joo Shiyoon], and [Personification of Sephira Noelle Wright]. In addition to her role as a supporter who strengthens her allies, Freyja Hilde is also designed to perform as a capable all-round damage dealer, allowing her to contribute directly to combat rather than remaining solely in a support position.▣ New Substream – Omen 6, What Must Be ReclaimedThe final stage of the Omen unfolds in Ground One.Within this seemingly peaceful city lies a small bar, home to a horned girl and a bartender, two familiar faces well known to many CEOs. While they, along with countless others, simply wish for the calm of everyday life to continue, the disasters brought by the Omen that have struck other cities are merely part of an inevitable course. As the decisive confrontation with Thagirion draws near, the sixth Omen title, [What Must Be Reclaimed], will introduce key figures whose fates are intertwined with Thagirion. As this episode comes to a close, it will simultaneously feel like the beginning of an entirely new story. ▣ New Main Stream – Ep.15 Beginning with [Administration Complete], the story that introduced Noelle Wright as a new member of the Fenrir Squad, Main Stream Episode 15 brings Season 3 to its grand conclusion. In this chapter, CEOs will finally face Thagirion, the true mastermind behind every Omen incident. Humanity stands on the brink of annihilation, with extinction looming as soon as tomorrow. The battle ahead, against a Demon Lord who has already brought about the end of the world multiple times, will be anything but easy. Adding to the odds stacked against humanity, this Qliphoth Game will begin under conditions overwhelmingly unfavorable to mankind, as the opponent is none other than Thagirion, a Demon Lord who stops at nothing to achieve her ends. The central theme of Mainstream Episode 15 is ‘time.’ In the previous episode, the Administration secured a means to access this new domain, and how Thagirion and the Administrator’s group will make use of the concept of time will be one of the key points to watch. At the end of this brutal struggle, where both sides appear to have nothing left to lose, what awaits them? What became of those who stood on the front lines to stop Thagirion’s descent? And how will the Administrator seek to save a reality on the verge of collapse? We invite you to see Season 3 through to its very end. ▣ New SSR Employee – MinhaThe new SSR employee [Minha] is a Striker-class unit designed to directly pressure enemy Supporters through her Special Skill. By chaining her Special Skill and Ultimate Skill, Minha significantly reduces the enemy’s combat efficiency while effectively countering Supporter units. Minha will be available through the March Counter Pass. ▣ New Operator – Mary CrewMary Crew, the charismatic mother of the three Crew sisters who have been active across many aspects of CounterSide, will be released as a new Operator. Mary Crew is an Operator designed to maximize the survivability and frontline performance of Defender and Striker-class Employees. Through her Command Skill, she provides DMG Taken RDC for all allied units, while granting additional, specialized buffs to Defender and Striker units. This allows her to significantly enhance overall squad survivability and support frontline Employees in effectively fulfilling their roles on the battlefield. Mary Crew will be available through the operator recruitment in late March. ▣ Content Scheduled for Release in the First Half of 2026 ■ Gauntlet Strategy Battle – Quick Match UpdateA new Quick Match feature will be added to Gauntlet Strategy Battles, allowing CEOs to view battle results instantly without entering the combat itself in CounterSide. This feature can be enabled through the settings menu. Once activated, Strategy Battles will resolve immediately, displaying the battle result without going through the full combat sequence. Battles completed using the Quick Match feature can still be reviewed through replays, and they award the same amount of points as standard Strategy Battles. The Quick Match feature will also be available for NPC battles, making it more convenient than ever to earn Gauntlet Points. ■ World Map Branch EXP Adjustment The maximum level for World Map Branches is 10, and each level increase unlocks additional branch facilities, allowing access to a wider variety of World Map content in CounterSide. However, the time required to level up a branch has been relatively long. In particular, the EXP required to progress from levels 8 to 10 was significantly higher than that of levels 1 to 7, resulting in extended progression times. To address this issue and reduce the overall time needed for branch level progression, we plan to increase the EXP obtained from Branch Missions by more than 50% compared to the current values. With this adjustment, the time required to reach Branch Level 7 is expected to be significantly reduced. Additionally, progression from Levels 8 to 10 is also expected to take considerably less time than before. ■ Tactical Update / Operator Fusion Formula Adjustment Currently, when performing a Tactical Update, the Tactical Update level of the Employee used as material is ignored, and the resulting level is determined solely by the Tactical Update stage of the target Employee in CounterSide. To better preserve the value of the Employees you have invested in, we plan to improve this system so that the Tactical Update levels of material Employees are inherited and added together during Tactical Updates. In addition, the transfer of Operator Command Skill levels will be adjusted to follow a similar rule. For example, if a Level 3 Command Skill Operator is used to transfer skills to a Level 1 Command Skill Operator, the resulting Command Skill level will be combined to Level 4. ■ Operator Balance Adjustment Due to their early release timing, some Operators are currently difficult to use effectively in both PvE and PvP environments. To address this, balance adjustments for these Operators are planned. This balance update aims to make older Operators more viable within the current combat meta. At this time, the adjustments are expected to apply to six Operators. The Operators scheduled for balance adjustments are [Merlin], [Rachel Dodds], [Anastasia Chernova], [Moena], [Moneka], and [Replacer Rook]. Further details regarding these balance changes will be provided in a future patch note. ■ Level 100 Operator Exclusive Voice Update Unlike employees, who gain exclusive voice after getting the Lifetime Contract status, operators have not had their own dedicated voice until now. As operators are also special employees to our CEOs, we plan to introduce operator-exclusive voice that will be unlocked upon reaching level 100. Through the exclusive voice, we hope CEOs will be able to develop an even stronger connection with both their currently recruited operators and those they will recruit in the future. ■ Main Stream & Substream Partial Voiceover Update To enhance immersion across CounterSide’s expansive narrative, spanning 15 Mainstream and over 40 Substream episodes, partial voiceover will be added to select highlights within certain Main Stream and Substreams. The episodes receiving additional voiceovers are as follows. We hope you will enjoy the highlighted scenes featuring the newly added voiceover and experience each episode in a more immersive and impactful way. ▣ 3rd Anniversary Event Rewards Summary As announced during today’s live stream, the rewards prepared for this 3rd Anniversary event have once again been carefully selected with our CEOs in mind. A summary table of the 3rd Anniversary event rewards is provided below. This concludes our brief overview of the updates scheduled for the first half of 2026, as introduced during the 3rd Anniversary live stream. We kindly ask all CEOs to take care of their health. Thank you, as always. Sincerely, Hyunsoo Kim Head PD, CounterSide

「2026年1月の開発者ノート」Dear CEOs,This is Kim Hyun Soo, Head PD of CounterSide.As we welcome 2026, we sincerely wish all CEOs a year filled with good health and happiness.We would also like to take this opportunity to once again express our heartfelt gratitude to all CEOs who continue to support and journey with CounterSide.In this Developer’s Note, we would like to briefly share news about the CounterSide Origin 3rd Anniversary Live Broadcast.[CounterSide Origin 3rd Anniversary Live Broadcast] Thanks to the continued support of our CEOs, CounterSide has now reached its Origin 3rd Anniversary.To celebrate the CounterSide Origin 3rd Anniversary, we are pleased to announce that a 3rd Anniversary Live Broadcast will be held on February 6.During the broadcast, we plan to personally share with our CEOs the final chapter of the Omen storyline, which will be released as part of the February update, as well as an overview of the update roadmap for the first half of 2026.To ensure the broadcast remains as exciting as possible, this Developer’s Note will not reveal all details in advance. Instead, we will be providing information only on the content scheduled to be added earlier, on February 4. We kindly ask for your understanding.As much as our CEOs are looking forward to this milestone, we are preparing to make the broadcast a meaningful and enjoyable experience for everyone.In addition, for our Global CEOs, the broadcast will be uploaded as soon as possible with English and Japanese subtitles on the CounterSide Global and CounterSide Japan YouTube channels.[New Employee – Kiera Bonny]On February 4, ahead of the Origin 3rd Anniversary, Kiera Bonny, the freedom-loving, officially certified S-Rank Counter of Front Bay, will join CounterSide as a new SSR employee.Kiera Bonny is a Counter Defender capable of handling all-round combat situations. She specializes in close-range defense, skillfully evading enemy attacks while maintaining a stable frontline presence on the battlefield.Each time she successfully evades an enemy attack, her survivability is gradually enhanced. Under certain conditions, she can also apply a Blind debuff to multiple enemies, allowing her to turn the flow of battle in her favor.With a combat style centered around EVA and disruption, Kiera Bonny is expected to demonstrate a strong presence even when facing multiple enemies at once.◆ Kiera Bonny[New Danger Close Boss – Felix]On February 4, a new Danger Close boss will also make an appearance.The opponent standing before our CEOs in this Danger Close is Felix, the leader of the Northern Union.During battle, Felix possesses a unique combat trait that allows her to absorb a portion of the damage taken by Northern Union forces. In addition, Northern Union units gradually grow stronger as more of them remain on the battlefield.As a result, the longer the battle continues, the greater the pressure on the battlefield becomes. To successfully overcome this encounter, it will be crucial to consistently eliminate the Northern Union forces that appear at regular intervals.[Other Improvements and Fixes]Alongside new content updates, the CounterSide development team continues to work on ongoing improvements and fixes across existing content to provide a smoother and more enjoyable gameplay experience for all CEOs.Throughout this process, the feedback and reports you share with us through various channels—including our official community and customer support—have been a tremendous help to the team.Through your messages, we can truly feel your continued interest in and passion for CounterSide, and we would like to express our sincere gratitude.In particular, a handwritten letter recently sent to us all the way from Germany was especially meaningful. We would like to take this opportunity to extend our heartfelt thanks for the time and care put into writing it.Please note that while some suggestions and reports can be addressed promptly, others may require additional time before they can be fully implemented. We kindly ask for your understanding in such cases.In addition to handwritten letters, we would like to once again thank all CEOs who take the time to share their thoughts and feedback through various channels to help improve CounterSide. Based on your continued support and insights, we will keep striving to make CounterSide even better.With that, we will conclude this year’s first Developer’s Note.More details about the upcoming updates will be shared during the live broadcast, and we hope you will join us.As we begin a new year, we wish all CEOs good health and happiness.Thank you, as always.Hyunsoo KimHead PD, CounterSide

「2025年12月の開発者ノート」Dear CEOs,This is Kim Hyun Soo, the Head PD of CounterSide.We thank all our CEOs for the support and love shown to CounterSide during 2025.Spending the year 2025 together with our CEOs has been a great source of encouragement for me and the entire development team. As we welcome the new year, we will continue to carefully consider and strive to deliver an even more satisfying experience.Due to the year-end schedule, this December Dev Notes is being shared a little earlier than usual.We kindly ask for your understanding.Now, we would like to introduce the January update, which marks the beginning of 2026.[Omen – ???]The first news we would like to share is an introduction to Omen Episode 5 which will be updated on January 27 (UTC-5).This time, a message about the upcoming Omen has been left behind through a fan letter addressed to you.(This text was restored by a Class 1 Administrator.)It has been some time, ■■■■■■■■■■■■. Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say this is our ■■■■■ ■■■■■■■.Just before the Old Ad■■■istra■■n's ■■■■ Protocol was triggered, I sent ■■■ this f■■ ■■■■■■.The fact that you are receiving this me■■■ge now also means that y■■ and the Admi■■■■■tion have already ■■■■■■ to defend the ■■■■ multiple times.Still, I am certain those ■■■■■■■■ became the d■■■■ng fo■■e that set you in m■■ion.I don't dislike ■■■■■ who struggle desperately to break free from a ■■■■■■■■■■■■■ ■■■■.And for so■■■ne like y■u, I will le■■e you a s■■■■er.The Omen's ■■■■■ script is titled .A wo■■n who wa■■ered for many lo■g y■■rs comes to m■■t a ■■■ in a c■ty by ch■n■■ and thr■ugh ■■■ real■zes what she tr■ly des■res.The ■■■■■■■ she rea■hes beco■es a sto■y of its o■n, one that over■■rns the f■t■s of ev■ryo■■ b■und to that c■ty.In ■■ ■■■■■■■■, the Z■d■■c ■ni■■ts seek to pro■■ct Cha■■de for the peo■le, the ■■■■■■■ moves to pur■e its in■■r dis■idents, and the ■■■■■does not miss the op■■rtunity brought fo■th by the 「Omen」. And at the cen■er of it all, a ■■■■ is caught in an ine■■table con■lict.Even if this me■■age has been par■■ally dis■orted by da■a co■■■u■tio■…If it is yo■, I am ce■tain you will gra■p the true mea■ing hid■en within this sp■iler.And now, as y■u stand today...I believe you can st■p the 「Omen」 and save the six ■■■■■■.Because I am your biggest fan, after all.-■■■■■ ■■■■■-[New Counter Pass – Doctor Macy]Doctor Macy, who received strong positive feedback from CEOs following her appearance in the Main Stream story, is joining the roster as a new employee.Doctor Macy is a Counter Fury Supporter who moves on the ground and performs all-around attacks.She excels at dealing powerful damage to enemies with high HP while effectively supporting allied firepower.Please look forward to the impact Doctor Macy will bring as she stabilizes and supports the flow of battle.◆ Doctor Macy[Gauntlet Ban Rules]Ahead of the upcoming season, we would like to provide a detailed overview of the ban rules that will be applied starting next season.First, in Ranked Battles, employees selected as ban will be unavailable for use throughout the entire season.No bans will be applied during the first two weeks of the season, and starting from Week 3, two employees will be added to the ban list each week.As a result, by the latter half of the season, approximately 20 employees are expected to be banned in total. This is a level similar to the number of employees affected by weekly bans in the current season.The selection scope for the employee with the highest number of wins will follow the existing Rotation Ban criteria, and the voting will be conducted within the same scope as the existing Casting Ban system. In addition, ship ban rules will remain unchanged.Meanwhile in Strategy Battles, the Bans & Ups will be removed to allow for more flexible squad compositions.Through this overhaul of the ban system, we hope to encourage more diverse employee usage and foster long-term meta changes.We appreciate your continued interest and feedback regarding Gauntlet content.[Balance Adjustment Targets]As previously mentioned, balance adjustments will be carried out after the end of the Gauntlet season, targeting employees who have seen relatively low usage during the season.Please refer to the list below for the balance adjustment targets. Detailed adjustment directions will be shared separately through the patch notes.■ Balance Patch Target EmployeesChristina BrechtAuraSonyaLevia TannisSpace Cat FelicetteFree Agent Seo YoonGalahad Roy BurnettSix-Wings Amy FirstwingGriffin Rider Christina BrechtAce of Wings Lee SooyeonIn addition, to better counter stealth skills possessed by Albion and certain other employees, we are currently reviewing the addition of stealth detection to the Enterprise.If further countermeasures against stealth are deemed necessary, stealth detection may also be added to other ships in the future.Based on the wide range of feedback provided by our CEOs, we are preparing balance adjustments aimed at delivering a more satisfying experience.Please look forward to the detailed patch notes that will be shared in a future update.[Grand Expedition – Regular Season]The Grand Expedition, which received great interest from our CEOs, will return as a Regular Season on January 27 (UTC-5).For this Regular Season of Grand Expedition, we have actively incorporated the improvement feedback shared by our CEOs.First, a list displaying the employees that may appear during the season will be added, and the battle information panel on the right side of the stage selection screen will be improved to provide more detailed information.In addition, to provide more opportunities to obtain Artifacts and employees, the number of stages within each zone will be expanded from 10 to 15.To further ensure smoother progression, Artifact stats will be enhanced, and new features such as reward reroll and reward popup hide functions will be added.Furthermore, when an assigned employee is equipped with a skin, the skin will now be applied during the Grand Expedition.We also made efforts to include additional story content requested by many CEOs in this season. However, we sincerely apologize that development could not be completed within the schedule due to time constraints.Please rest assured that Grand Expedition related story content will continue to be developed and added in future updates, and we kindly ask for your patience.[Other Improvements]In addition to the items mentioned above, we are carefully reviewing various suggestions shared by our CEOs and considering multiple improvements.First, we are reviewing the introduction of a Strategy Battle skip function to allow CEOs to earn Gauntlet Points more easily and quickly.We are also examining ways to reduce the time required for World Map Branches to reach Level 10.In addition, we value all feedback provided by our CEOs and will continue to thoughtfully consider directions that help us build a better CounterSide.Please feel free to share your ideas and suggestions with us at any time.This concludes the January update information.As CounterSide approaches its fifth year since initial launch and welcomes a new year, this journey has only been possible thanks to the unwavering support from our CEOs.Your valuable feedback, constructive criticism, and warm encouragement have allowed CounterSide to continue moving forward step by step.In 2026, the entire development team will do its utmost to create a CounterSide filled with even greater enjoyment together with our CEOs.Thank you, as always.Hyunsoo Kim, Head PD of CounterSide.

「2025年11月の開発者ノート」Dear CEOs,This is Kim Hyun Soo, the Head PD of CounterSide.We thank all our CEOs for the support and love they have shown to CounterSide.In this month's Dev Notes, we'll provide more details about the upcoming updates during December.[Omen – ???]The first news we would like to share is an introduction to Omen Episode 4, which will be updated on December 16.We hope you will look forward to the story that unfolds in this upcoming episode.The fourth e■■■■de of Omen tak■■ place in ■■■■■ ■■■ – ■■■■■■.■■■■■■ ■■■■■ ago, the great ■■■■■■ ■■■■■ sank into the ■■■ along with the ■■■■■■■■■ ■■■■■■■■■■ after stopping the ■■■■■ ■■■■■.

It is a ranged attacker that moves through the air and delivers powerful damage when it detects enemies who have taken a certain amount of damage.It also possesses an ability that allows it to temporarily evade dangerous situations, and its offensive capabilities can significantly increase depending on the circumstances. We expect it to play an important role in Mech-focused squads.◆ Hyperion Plan Titan[New Operator - Myeongdal]Myeongdal, who showcased an impressive presence in Mainstream Episode 14 [Bara], will now be released as an Operator.Myeongdal inflicts the Seal skill effect on all units on the battlefield, while providing a powerful DPS-boosting buff to allied units.We hope you will look forward to the impactful performance that Operator Myeongdal will bring to the battlefield.◆ Myeongdal[New Danger Close Boss - Mors of the Fallen Winter]A new Danger Close boss will arrive to challenge CEOs, following Ray.This time, the Danger Close boss is Mors of the Fallen Winter.Mors of the Fallen Winter is a C.O.-type enemy with an abnormally high amount of HP, and its Skill Haste increases whenever a unit on the battlefield retreats.Additionally, when it casts its Special skill, its defensive stats temporarily rise significantly.Please keep in mind that you will need to deal extremely high damage in a short period of time in order to stop it.[Event Raid]A new event raid featuring a special boss will be added to the raids that appear upon completing World Map Branch Dispatch missions.The event raid boss is the Guardian of Sephira, and this raid will be available as a single-level encounter set at level 190 and above.The Guardian of Sephira has the same appearance rate regardless of branch level or facilities. It does not appear as part of a separate season. Instead, it has a chance to replace the original boss whenever a raid appears, independent of the raid season.The Guardian of Sephira will run alongside the current raid season, and you will be able to exchange the special currency obtained from the event raid for items in the shop.[Great Expedition]We would like to express our gratitude to all CEOs who have shown great interest in the recently updated Grand Expedition and have been enjoying the content.We have also carefully reviewed the feedback you have shared, and based on your suggestions, we are preparing to deliver an improved Grand Expedition experience in the next season.First, if you have employees equipped with skins, we are planning to make those skins appear in Grand Expedition when those employees show up there as well.We are also considering enhancing Artifact stats so that their effects can be felt more clearly during gameplay.In addition to these changes, we will continue working hard to provide an even more enjoyable Grand Expedition experience based on the many valuable opinions you have given us.[Removal of Alternium Reactors]The Alternium Reactor, which has been placing an unintended burden on our CEOs, will be removed in December.As mentioned in a previous Developer Note, we are currently working on removing the Alternium Reactor and applying its effects directly to each employee’s skills instead. We are also reviewing a plan to allow CEOs to exchange Alternium Reactor related materials for desired items through the event shop.Additionally, please note that unit balance adjustments will continue based on Gauntlet season trends, focusing on employees with lower usage rates.[Unclaimed Counter Pass Rewards]If there are any unclaimed rewards when a Counter Pass season ends, they will now be automatically sent to your Inventory along with a notification popup.We sincerely apologize for the delay in delivering this feature, despite many CEOs having requested it for quite some time.The function to send unclaimed Counter Pass rewards to the Inventory is scheduled to be added in December, and we plan to apply the same system to unclaimed Prestige rewards afterward.However, please note that Prestige service rewards require additional development due to the existence of overflow rewards, so this update will take more time to complete. We kindly ask for your understanding.[Gauntlet Ban Rules]Although this is not part of the December update, we would like to give you an early notice regarding the Gauntlet ban rule changes currently under consideration for the next season.In the past, when 3-ban or 4-ban systems were active, it was difficult for CEOs to freely use newly acquired employees in Gauntlet, and it was unclear when those units would become available. For this reason, the system was changed to the current format.However, as many CEOs have expressed concerns about the repetitive pattern that occurs every other week, we are now reviewing and revising the Gauntlet ban system.Since we are currently mid-season and the update requires major code adjustments, the new ban rules are planned to be applied starting next season.First, employees selected as ban targets will not be able to be assigned to squads and will be unavailable for the entire season.In addition, no ban targets will be selected during the first two weeks of the season. Beginning in Week 3, two employees will be banned each week.Accordingly, four employees will be banned in Week 4, six in Week 5, and the number will continue to increase each week following the same pattern.Ban targets will be determined by selecting the employee with the highest number of wins and the employee ranked first in Casting Ban votes. If these two overlap, the employee ranked second in Casting Ban votes will be selected instead.We hope these updated ban rules will provide a more enjoyable Gauntlet experience for all CEOs.[New Skins]In December, the Prestige skin for Final Phase Sigma, along with two new Christmas skins, will be added.◆ Clockwork Girl - Final Phase Sigma[Standing][Skill Cut-in][SD][Live2D]◆ Shy Dusk Starlight - Zodiac of Redemption Esterosa de Chevalier◆ Manual of Allure - AuraAlthough the weather may vary depending on where our Global CEOs reside, we hope every one of our CEOs stays safe and sound.Thank you, as always.Hyunsoo Kim, Head PD of CounterSide.

「2025年10月の開発者ノート」Dear CEOs,This is Kim Hyun Soo, the Head PD of CounterSide.We thank all our CEOs for the support and love they have shown to CounterSide.In this month's Dev Notes, we'll provide more details about the upcoming updates during November.[Omen – ???]November will begin with the scheduled Omen Episode 3.Following Campamento and Lotus, Episode 3 unfolds in a brand-new region — we hope you look forward to this next chapter.We had previously promised to release Omen episodes at three-week intervals.

We had hoped to present a new side of Sigma, who has long played the role of the CEOs’ adorable daughter.However, due to delays in the skin production schedule, the new skin will not be ready for unveiling at the start of this Prestige Service.Therefore, unlike previous Prestige Services that focused on a specific employee’s skin, the upcoming Prestige Service will allow CEOs to choose one skin directly from the lineup of past Prestige skins.If you wish for one of the previous Prestige skins you will be able to select one, or if you wish to acquire Sigma’s Prestige Skin, you will be able to select Sigma’s skin once it is officially updated.We sincerely apologize for the delay in the release schedule of Sigma’s skin, following the Horizon case. The Prestige Skin [Clockwork Girl – Final Phase Sigma] is now scheduled for release on December 17.◆Clockwork Girl - Final Phase SigmaLastly, we sincerely apologize for the disappointment caused by the unavoidable postponement of both the Omen Episode 4 update and Sigma’s Prestige Skin release.As an expression of our deep apology for the schedule delay, we have prepared the following compensation:◆ Apology Reward2,000 Quartz100,000 Eternium※ Available for all CEOs who log in by November 7, 09:59 (UTC-5).※ The reward will expire 7 days after the time it is received via in-game mail.Although the weather may vary depending on where our Global CEOs reside, we hope every one of our CEOs stays safe and sound.Thank you, as always.Hyunsoo Kim, Head PD of CounterSide.
