Important Update – Play-In Vote for 4th Seed

Before Week 1 games, the League Operations team (Ekko, Rampage, Lee, Omega Red) and the Decisions Committee (Tiny, Cripple, Harder) held a vote to consider modifying the playoff format. The proposal was to have the 4th and 5th place teams face off in a Bo1 play-in match to determine the 4th seed for the semifinals.

Tentative play-in schedule (if adopted):
🕧 Warbird – 12:30 PM EST
🕐 Javelin – 1:00 PM EST
🕜 Basing – 1:30 PM EST
(All on Sunday, June 1, 2025 — times subject to confirmation after votes are finalized.)

However, because this format change was not communicated prior to the start of Week 1, the final decision is now being deferred to a captain vote in each division.


Captains must submit their vote by Friday, May 9, 2025.

Depending on the outcome, some divisions may implement the play-in match, while others may stick with eliminating the 5th place team based on regular season standings.

Please coordinate with your team captains and ensure your division submits a decision by the deadline.
