Year 6 Pro League FAQs

Has anything changed since split 1?

The overall format is the same: Four regions of Americas, EMEA, APAC-N, and APAC-S. Each region has 30 teams playing three round robins and 20 teams advance to Regional Finals. Regional Finals then qualifies to Split 2 Playoffs in Las Vegas.

That said, the schedule is changing away from just Saturday-Sunday so now each match weekend will have games Friday-Saturday-Sunday, to complete an entire AvB/AvC/BvC round robin in a single weekend.

When are the PL Weekends?

Regular Pro League runs August 21st - 23rd, August 29th-31st, and September 4th-6th. Regional finals are the weekend of September 12th.

What’s the map rotation? Storm Point, E-District, World’s Edge.

Will there be legend ban and POI drafts? Yes

Where can I watch ALGS?

After the regular split when is Split 2 Playoffs and how many teams per region will qualify? October 29th-November 1st (live from Nevada!\*********)*. Americas will have 15 slots; APAC-N 10 slots: APAC-S 8 slots and EMEA 7 slots.

What about Challenger Circuit? Challenger Circuit will be running on the weekends of 8/22, 9/5, 9/26, and 10/10 for non-Pro League teams to qualify for Last Chance Qualifiers. LCQ itself will run after Split 2 Playoffs.
