Season Schedule

  • Signups: January 8 – January 20, 21:00 CET (Premiership signups will close early, on the 14th of January at 21:00 CET)

The schedule for the Season 26 playoffs looks as follows:

Premiership Tier

The first four teams will qualify for a double elimination bracket:

  • 1st round: 13th – 15th march
  • UB final /LB semifinal: 16th – 19th march
  • LB final: 20th – 24th march
  • Final: 26th march*

The Grand Final will be played as a BO5 maps contest, with one map advantage for the upper seat (Upper Bracket finals winner will start leading 1-0). It is highly recommended to play the Final on the given date. Every other playoff match (in every division for that matter) will be played as a BO3).

High/Mid Tier

The first six teams will qualify for the High playoffs, the first eight teams for the Mid playoffs. High Tier seat 1 and 2 will receive a bye in the first round.
The bracket will be played as a single elimination, BO3 maps contest.

  • 1st round: 12th – 16th march
  • Semifinals: 19th – 24th march
  • Final: 26th – 29th march

Open tier

The top sixteen teams will qualify for the open playoffs.
The bracket will be played as a single elimination, BO3 maps contest.

  • Round of 16: 12th – 15th march
  • Quarterfinals: 16th – 19th march
  • Semifinals: 20th – 24th march
  • Final: 26th – 29th march

For potential tiebreakers we will, as always, rank the teams according to their Sonneborn-Berger Score. Please note that your rank in the tables could differ from your actual placement, as our system does not automatically apply the tiebreaker. We will inform you in a separate newspost, what team made it in (or not) should there be a tie.
