- For playoffs the format is the same but it will be bo3 every game.
- You can repeat a player in a 1on1, 2on2 or ACE match but the same player cannot play 3 times the same week (so if you use it for 1on1 and 2on2 then he cannot play the ACE match).
- 2on2 can be played at the same time as 1on1 but it won't be taken into account nor casted if there is a 3-0 in the 1on1.
- In case of a Bo3, the winner of 1st map bans a map and the loser picks from remaining non played non banned maps.

Points
- A match won is 1 point, a match lost is 0 points.
- In case of a tie, the team with less penalization points will be higher in the league.
- If a tie still exists, the team that won the match against the other (direct encounter) will be higher in the league.
- If a tie still exists (triple tie), the team with better maps won/lost ratio will be higher in the league.
- If a tie still exists (triple tie, as if one went higher by w/l ratio then direct encounter will untie), there will be an extra round with those 3 teams.
- Of course this only applies to teams that can be in the top4.
Penalizations
- Not presenting your line up in time - 1 penalization point.
- Not showing to a bo1 - 2 penalization points per bo1 (and ofc you lose that bo1) 15min max of waiting time.
- Each penalization point will subtract 2$ to the prize of that team.
- A team with 15 penalization points will be disqualified. Penalization points are NOT subtracted from winning points, they are independent and are only counted to discount prize and used to untie in case 2 or more teams have the same points.
- If a team leaves the league or is disqualified, all results of the league stage will be 3-0 vs him, even the ones that were already played.
- Any kind of misbehavior like insults, chat spamming, saying gg for the opponent, sarcastic comments about your opponent or oponnent's play can result in penalization points or even banning that player/team from the league.
- Each team has 5 saving card that can be used to avoid a player not showing to a match penalization, so if a player is not showing to a match a team manager can replace him for another of your team USING THE SAME RACE OF THE REPLACED PLAYER (that has not played another 1on1) consuming your saving card and avoiding penalization. If you run out of saving cards, you can still change the player with one of the same race and play the match as if you used a saving card to get only 1 penalization point instead of 2, and of course to not forfeit that game (same disadvantage of 1-0 applies to bo3).
- If this is used in the playoffs you will start that bo3 with 1-0 in favor of your opponent.
