Greetings, Lumia Island survivors!
We want to extend our thanks to each and every one of you for being part of the ERCS!
Before we get into the changes, let's dive into some of the highlights from ERCS Season 3.
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.
*Seeding is subject to change.
Point and Circuit Matrix
2024 Season 4 Tournament Schedule
We will not hold a tournament during the week of a new patch. This means ERCS will now be held every two weeks. This will give players more time to get accustomed to the updated patch or changes.
*Circuit Schedule is subject to change.
We are planning to hold a mini-tournament as well, which will take place in the ER: Challengers Hub Discord channel. Join our Discord for the latest updates:
