HealingMatgo Single Match Top 16 – win the championship in one round, with a 500 HP reward

By

HealingMatgo’s Single Match is a mode where 16 players play one round each to decide a champion. As the name says, the result is decided in a single round. If you win, you move on to the next stage, and if you lose, it ends right there. If you win the championship, you receive 500 HP. We will explain the rules and how to read the bracket one by one.

The blue Single Match button on the start screen, with 'Round of 16 · One round' written on it

You start by pressing the blue button ‘Single Match · Round of 16 · One round’ on the start screen. (Screenshot shows the Korean interface.)

1. Who do you play against?

You and 15 computer players, 16 in all, take part. All 15 opponent characters appear, and you are placed in a random spot in the bracket. The stages go in this order: Top 16 → Top 8 → Semifinals → Final.

This is the Top 16 bracket. The gold line is your path. Games not yet played are shown with a question mark. (Screenshot shows the Korean interface.)
Opponents get stronger step by step

The 15 computer players are divided by skill, so in the Top 16 you meet the weakest group and in the Final the strongest group. You can start without any pressure.

2. Match rules

  • One game is decided by just one round.
  • If you win, you go to the next stage. If you lose, you are out.
  • In your own games, you are the dealer (you start first).
  • Games between computer players are decided by chance according to their skill.
  • If a round is a draw, you play the same opponent again (the dealer stays). However, if it is a draw more than 3 times, the opponent wins.

3. How it goes

  1. On the start screen, press the Single Match button.
  2. When the bracket appears, press the Start game button to begin your game.
  3. When a round ends, you return to the bracket and the next stage continues.
  4. If you want to take a break in the middle, press the Home button. Your progress is saved (see the post on resuming).

4. What happens to your score

Mode rounds are played on a separate practice stage that starts with a score of 1,000,000. That is why your score shows as 1,000,000 on the screen. After it ends, your own score goes up or down only by (this round’s final score − 1,000,000), and it never goes below 0. The point rate of the round is 100.

You cannot use items

In Single Match, Tournament and War of the Gods, the item shelf is locked and cannot be used. Items can be used only in Start game (Endless mode).

5. Rewards and the Hall of Legends

Item Details
Championship reward 500 HP
If you lose or drop out midway No mode reward (no Jjok or win HP in this mode either)
Hall of Legends Eligible from the moment you reach the Semifinal game (even if you lose in the Semifinals). The category name is ‘Single Match’
The Single Match championship screen, with a gold trophy and the word 'Champion' on the right

If you win the championship, a trophy and the word ‘Champion’ appear at the far right of the bracket. (Screenshot shows the Korean interface.)

6. Who this mode suits

  • People who want to play tense, one-round matches
  • People who like challenges that finish in a short time
  • People who want to go for the 500 HP championship reward
A guide appears once the first time you press it

The first time you press Single Match and the screen appears, a 5-step arrow guide is shown once. If you skip it or watch it to the end, it will not appear again (each profile remembers separately). It explains how 16 players compete, that losing means you are out, and that you are listed in the Hall of Legends from the Semifinals. To watch it again, press the ☰ menu → ‘Replay guide’ → ‘Turn mode guides back on’. Details are in the arrow guide post.
