the format
stage 1 - qualifiers
the qualifier stage has two types of events, regional qualifiers and open qualifiers, all of which will be played online on faceit. regional qualifiers will lead to a chance of playing in a live in-studio broadcast at select nbc studios in the next stage. the open qualifiers are for players who want a chance to make the grand finals without traveling to an in-studio regional event.
players in the u.s. can sign up for any of the qualifiers, but is it suggested to sign up for a qualifier near your geographic location. official match times will be messaged out once your team has signed up for a qualifier. keep in mind teams and players can only participate in one qualifier. once you've participated in either a regional qualifier or an open qualifier you cannot play in a second event. so choose wisely!

stage 2 - regionals
this stage is split up into two types of events, regionals and online regionals. the online regional will take the best teams from the open qualifier to the pitch online to find who has what it takes to qualify for the grand finals.
the regionals will play out on a live tv broadcast and have teams play live from one of four studio locations in the u.s. to find out who has what it takes to earn their trip to sunny california. these will be held in philadelphia, new york city, chicago and san francisco.
one thing to keep in mind is each team that goes through the regional qualifier route will need to cover their travel costs to the regionals in-studio, so make sure you choose one close to where you live!
