Greetings, Lumia Island survivors!
We want to express our gratitude to each and every one of you for being a part of the ERCS!
Given that Season 2 brought us a fresh format for ERCS, let's take a moment to revisit some of the highlights.
Today, we are excited to provide a sneak peek at the upcoming changes as we gear up for the Eternal Return Challengers Series (ERCS)!
Circuit
To form the Circuit, teams will be seeded through a snake draft into 4 blocks, each containing 4 teams, making a total of 16 teams.
Every week, two blocks will merge, forming two 8-team squad lobbies. Each lobby will engage in 4 games, and team points will be allocated based on their placements (refer to the Circuit matrix below).
Throughout the circuit, all three games' placings for each team will be recorded.
The top team from each block will advance directly to the Grand Finals, while the teams placing 2nd and 3rd in each block will proceed to the Wild Card. The top 4 teams from the Wild Card will secure spots in the Grand Finals.
The Wild Card will consist of best-of-6 games.
The Grand Finals will be a matchpoint series featuring the top teams from each block and the qualifying teams from Wild Card at the end of the circuit.
*Seeding based on Average Squad MMR.
