What is the format for ESL PUBG Masters: Summer?
ESL will adopt the official ruleset and format for its Summer event. PUBG Corp. had announced the switch to the ‘Most Chicken’ format for all official PUBG matches. The controversial decision drew sharp reactions from the community.
After the massive support we saw for ESL PUBG Masters: Spring, we have decided to increase the capacity for our Open Qualifiers. This will not only increase the level of competition, but also provide as many teams as possible a gateway into qualifying to compete against the region’s best teams in the main event.
ESL will also expand its capacity for the Summer event, accommodating more participants for the open qualifiers.
The open qualifiers will expand to include 512 teams. Only 15 teams will advance from this segment after playing 4 rounds over 4 days. The upper bracket features sixteen teams including the Open: Summer winner, the Masters: Spring winner, seven invited teams and 7 qualified teams. The teams play 1 round and the top eight will advance to the Grand finals. The Grand Finals starts on July 24th.
The other eight teams from the upper bracket join 8 qualified teams in the lower bracket. The top eight teams from the lower bracket join the best from the upper bracket in the Grand finals.
The Grand finals takes place over two weeks. Each week features the teams playing two rounds over two days.
