We are excited to announce the new 2023 Flex League Season Playoffs! There are new prizes, additional chances to compete in Verified matches, and a Playoff advancement system.
At the end of each flex league event, the top two players in each division will qualify for the Season Playoffs, where they will compete in a bracket against other event qualifiers with a similar UTR Rating to be named the Flex League Season Champion. Playoff matchups will be announced and occur after the end of each Season (event sessions 1-4 will compete in Season 1 playoffs, while event sessions 5-8 will compete in Season 2 playoffs). All playoff winners and runner-ups will receive prizes, in addition to bragging rights!
