ALGS 2023 Split 1 playoffs: Format

The event is split into three parts: the group stage starting February 2, the bracket stage and the finals. The group stage will see three rounds of play, with the teams vying for spots in the winners’ bracket.

The teams have been split into four groups, which can be found below.

Each group will play each other in a 6-game series, for a total of 18 games for every team.

The top 20 teams will advance to the upper bracket for the first round of the bracket stage, while the bottom 20 will be seeded into the lower bracket. The top 10 teams from each side of the bracket will take part in the finals, a winner-take-all affair without a match limit. Once a team reaches 50 points, they become “match point eligible.” The first team to win a match after being “match point eligible” is declared the winner of the event. The rest of the field’s placement is decided by total points in the finals.
