PGS 1 Format

The 24 teams start competing on April 27 in the group stage. They will be divided into groups of 8 teams to form a total of 3 groups. This first phase of the PGS 1 has a duration of three days, where each day, six matches will be played, divided as follows:

Day 1: Group A and Group B, Day 2: Group B and Group C, Day 3: Group A and Group C.

Only 16 teams advance to the winners’ bracket from this first group stage, while the eight worst teams advance to the losers’ bracket.

The winners’ group takes place from April 30 to May 1. As in the first phase, six games are played daily during these two days. Of these 16 teams, the best eight go directly to the final round.

On May 2 and 3, the eight teams that lost in the winner’s bracket played against the eight losers in the first phase. The best eight teams of the 16 losers advance to the final round.

In the final round, 18 matches will be played, distributed from May 5 to May 7. The team that takes the champion title has the best overall ranking, earning $80k of the prize pool. After that, the rest of the prize money will be distributed to the other teams according to their ranking.

New points system for PGS 1
