ALGS Year 5 Midseason Playoffs Format
The Midseason Playoffs feature 40 teams in a pool play stage with two groups of 20 teams each. In the pool play stage, each group will compete in a 10-match series, with teams accumulating points each match. The top seven teams from each group move on to the match point finals, teams ranked 8th through 17th move in each group move on to the last chance semi-finals, and the three bottom teams from both are eliminated.
The last-chance semi-finals also feature 10 matches. The six teams with the highest total points advance to the match-point finals, while the other 14 teams are knocked out. In match-point finals, teams compete to reach a 50-point threshold and then get one more win to seal the tournament.
