Autumn 2018 Schedule
- Stage 1: The Qualifying Rounds: September 3rd - September 16th
[spoiler=The Qualifying Stage]will feature group play, and consist of all the players who rank outside of the top 36 in ELO on the ESOC Patch. Therefore, you have a chance to avoid this round if you load up the EP now and win a bunch of ranked games. 24 players will emerge from the group stage chaos, but they won't be in the knockouts just yet.[/spoiler] - Stage 2: Placements: September 17th - September 23rd
[spoiler=Placements]will also feature group play. Here, the 24 victorious qualifiers will find themselves mixed in with 24 pre-seeded players. Specifically, the 17th-40th ranked ones. There will be 16 groups. 16 winners. 16 players to advance to the knockout round, where the top players in the world will be waiting for them.[/spoiler] - Stage 3: Brackets: September 24th - October 28th
[spoiler=Brackets]Sixteen is a magical number. Crack the top twelve in EP ELO and you get to start the journey here in the knockout round. Fall below it, and you will have to survive the chaos of group play. We're not doing anything silly to the knockout bracket, it's just a standard looking single elimination contest, with a prize pool awaiting the top finishers. The top 4 players from ESOC Grand Tour Season 1 Playoffs will receive the highest pre-seeds in the bracket.[/spoiler]
