Premier
There was an issue with matchmaking that prevented matches from being played in the first 2 weeks of the Episode 9 Act 1 stage. Contender and Invite divisions were unaffected and these teams successfully played their matches.
- Issue has been fixed and teams should be able to find matches successfully for week 3 and on.
- Any team that plays a match in the IBIT zone in week 6 and before will automatically qualify for playoffs.
- Teams that have already played a match in another EU zone can still earn the playoff qualification in IBIT, but will require teams to create a new roster in the IBIT zone and play a match.
Teams will qualify for playoffs by receiving 600 points before the start of week 7 matches.
- For example, if your team has 25 points at the end of week 6, then your team will have 625 points before you play your week 7 matches.
