GbG Championship 9: Battle for the Somerset Hospital!

Dear Battleground Champions,
The latest Championship is over now and the next one will start on July 31st, 2025! However we don't want to miss this opportunity to tell you about the next Championship reward: The Somerset Hospital!

Somerset Hospital

Just like the other Championship buildings, this building is a Championship reward, specific to the Diamond Leagues.

Again, you have to win at least three Diamond League Battlegrounds in a Championship to get enough Fragments to unlock level one and win FIVE Battlegrounds in a Championship to unlock level 2! However, keep in mind that the Somerset Hospital - Lv. 1 produces Fragments for the Upgrade Kit as well. This means you will be able to level up the building to Lv. 2 with Fragments alone.
