EMEA Masters 2023 Summer Format
The EMEA Masters 2023 Summer is divided into two stages: the Play-In and the Main Event.
- 16 teams qualified for the Play-Ins from the various ERL’s such as the French LFL, the Spanish SupeLiga, the German Prime League and the Arabian League.
- These 16 teams have been divided into four 4-team Groups, where they play a Double Round Robin format, meaning that each team plays every other team twice in Best-of-One matches,
- After the Play-In Group Stage, the top two teams of each group proceeds to the Knockout Stage
- In the Play-In Knockout Stage, the eight teams clash against each other in Best-of-Three matches, with the winners advancing to the Main Stage, joining the 12 teams that are already in, growing the competition to 16.
- The 12+4 teams will fight on in the Main Stage:
- The 16 participants are drawn into four 4-team groups again depending on seeding:
- Pool 1: Istanbul Wildcats, Karmine Corp, SK Gaming Prime and Movistar Riders
- Pool 2: Nativz, Orbit Anonymo Esports, NASR Turkey and BK ROG Esports
- Pool 3: BISONS ECLUB, UOLSE, AliorBank Team and Macko Esports,
- Pool 4: The four teams qualifying from the Play-Ins
- The 16 teams will play against each other in a Double Round Robin format in Best-of-One Matches, just like in the Play-In Stage, and the two best teams will proceed to the Knockout Stage of the Main Event
- In the Knockout Stage, the 8 teams will face each other in a single elimination bracket, with the 1st placed teams playing against the 2nd placed teams of other groups. All matches are Best-of-Five, and at the end of the Knockout Stage, only the best team remains standing!
- The 16 participants are drawn into four 4-team groups again depending on seeding:
EMEA Masters 2023 Summer: How to Watch
The 4 weeks of the EMEA Masters will be broadcasted on various different channels in multiple languages:
