New structure
In addition to the confirmed start date, details about the structure of the new season have also been revealed. For example, there will be a six-day Mid Season Global Tournament with a prize pool of $1 million(880,000 euros).
This Mid Season tournament, called Midseason Madness, will give four teams from the East Region and eight teams from the West Region the chance to win this prize pool.
The last tournament of the year, the Countdown Cup, will serve as a „wild card“ for the post-season. This Wild Card will allow two teams the opportunity to qualify for this tournament, if they do not manage to qualify through the League Points system.
League Points
The League Points system was introduced last year as a means of adding more value to victories. While this worked well, the modified system for the 2022 season will fix some of the problems that the 2021 season had.
From now on, each qualifying match won will earn 1 League Point. However when it comes to tournaments, teams will receive 1 point just for qualifying.
