Mettlestate has two mobile competitions coming up: a Clash Royale cup tonight, Thursday 5 November, and a Mobile Legends: Bang Bang cup on Saturday 7 November. Both official event pages showed registration open when checked on Thursday morning, with a listed standard prize pool of R1,000 each.

The key practical detail is check-in. Registering your interest is only the first step: Mettlestate says players must return to the event page before the competition and check in, with limited places allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. All times below are South African Standard Time (SAST).

Clash Royale: check in at 18:30 tonight

The Clash Royale event page lists check-in at 18:30 on 5 November, followed by brackets at 19:30. This is a 1v1 mobile event with a check-in limit of 64. The displayed match settings call for two match wins and a three-minute match timer.

The standard payout table lists R500 for first place, R300 for second and R200 for third. That adds up to the advertised R1,000 standard pool. The page also displays higher Premium payouts, which should not be mistaken for a guaranteed R2,000 pool for every entrant.

Before committing your evening, read the Clash Royale tournament rules and have your account ready for the check-in window. Do not leave checking in until the bracket time.

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang: Saturday’s 5v5 cup

The Mobile Legends: Bang Bang event page lists check-in at 13:00 on Saturday 7 November and brackets at 14:00. The format shown is 5v5, best of three, and the page displays a check-in limit of 34.

Its standard payout table also lists R500, R300 and R200 for the top three places. Organise your squad ahead of the check-in window and check the event’s current rules together rather than assuming that a Clash Royale rule also applies to the team competition.

Register, then return to check in

Use the official event links above to review the current registration form, rules and eligibility requirements. The pages checked did not state an entry fee or a nationality restriction, so we are not describing either event as free or open to every region.

Mettlestate’s event FAQ says to return one hour before the start and use the Check-in button. Registration and check-in availability can change as places fill. If you want to compete tonight, the immediate deadline to plan around is Clash Royale’s 18:30 check-in, not just the 19:30 bracket time.
