tournament format

Eligibility - We're restricting all players to NA region (full list of countries available on the qualifier page), must be 18+ years of age, have a clean player record with no outstanding bans and follow the Code of Conduct to participate. Participants cannot be currently signed to a T1 NAL roster as an active player.

Qualifier Info - We are sticking with the same qualifier system we have been running since E2 - Double Elimination.

• Top 4 teams from each qualifier advance to Phase 2

• As always, both qualifiers are free to enter with your team

ELEMENT 5 has 3 Phases - Qualifiers / Swiss / Playoffs:

• Qualifiers will advance 8 total teams from the open pool into our closed swiss stage. 8 Teams receive a direct invite to Phase 2.

• We are continuing to run a Buchholz Swiss Bracket to advance top 8 teams to Phase 3.

• E4 has given us positive results for the Double Elimination playoffs. We will carry this structure into the new year.

• We have heard your feedback regarding the lack of official broadcasts for Phase 2. We're happy to announce that we're bringing back full coverage for Phase 2 with our premier talent to cover games that matter the most to you.
