Greetings, Lumia Island survivors!

First off, we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the participants and players who have supported ERCS throughout the season.

Before we dive into the new season, let’s take a moment to celebrate the unforgettable highlights of ERCS Season 5:

North America

The first season with qualifiers featured fierce competition, with DinoDance claiming victory. By Game 6, five teams were in contention, and it could have gone to anyone. Nyny dominated the final fight, securing the win with excellent positioning.

Europe

The first-ever ERCS qualifiers for Europe delivered the longest series ever, spanning 9 games. Seven teams reached the checkpoint, making it an incredibly tight race. Monnsh4der from Team Discord Kittens sealed the win with a stellar performance in the final game.

South America

Congrats to Evadina for their strategic use of vision and patience, which led to a well-earned victory. Their careful approach and smart decision-making throughout the series were key to their success.

Circuit

North America

To form the Circuit, teams will be seeded through a snake draft into 4 blocks, each containing 4 teams, after advancing from the qualifiers, 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.

Europe

To form the Circuit, teams will be seeded through a snake draft into 2 blocks, each containing 8 teams. Each lobby will engage in best-of-6 games, and the top 4 teams from each lobby will secure spots in the Finals.

The Finals will be a matchpoint series featuring the top teams from each block.
