Tournament Rules and Procedure

In this split, we will see the already familiar, traditional group stage, during which each of the teams will play 18 matches. All matches will be in the Bo1 format, exactly the same as at the European LEC Spring 2022.

According to the results of the groups: the two best teams will immediately take places in the semi-finals, teams from 3rd to 6th places will advance to the quarterfinals, 7th and 8th places will advance to the first round of the losers bracket. Then it's time for the playoffs. And the two teams with the least points will leave PCS Spring 2022.

The group stage will take 6 in-game weeks and run from February 11 to March 19. Then it's time for the playoffs.

In the playoffs, all matches will be in the bo5 format, with the exception of the first round of the losers bracket and the quarterfinals. The quarter-finals and the first round of the lower bracket will play in Bo3.
