RLCS San Diego Major Format

The format used in the RLCS San Diego Major reflects all the Regional Splits played so far.

As we have seen, the teams start from the Group Stage in four groups of four teams each. In this phase, the teams play all against all and best of five (BO%). The winners of each group then advance directly to the quarterfinals in the playoffs.

The second and third-place teams advance to the first round of the playoffs. Finally, the last-place team in each group will go home empty-handed from the RLCS Winter Major.

It should be noted that in the event of a tie in the standings, the following tie-breaking considerations will be taken into account:

• Match Record
• The game differential between the tied teams.
• Game differential
• Initial seeding

Finally, the games from the quarterfinals onwards of the playoffs are played to the best of seven (BO7).
