Gather your squad and prepare your loadouts. The arena is waiting.
We are bringing you a Premier Tournament League Series for THE FINALS, spanning across both EMEA and the AMERICAS.

The Format

Survive the Weekly Cuts

APE SQUAD CLASSICS

Format: Cashout
The Objective: Accumulate points and survive the weekly "Cuts." The number of teams eliminated per playday scales based on the total number of starting teams.

THE LEAGUE

Because registration is open, the elimination math will be finalized once signups close. The goal remains the same: Narrow the field down to the Top 16 for Championship Sunday.

    Round Robin Format: For the Playdays the schedule will be to play as many unique teams as possible to ensure fairness and that consistency is king!

  • Play Days 1 & 2: Ranking and initial positioning. The first cut occurs at the end of Day 2.
  • Play Day 3: Mid-tier survival. The field is narrowed further.
  • Play Day 4: The Final Push. Only the Top 16 overall point-earners qualify for the Finals.

FLEXIBLE CUT NOTICE: The exact number of teams eliminated each night is subject to change based on registered teams. The exact "Cut Line" will be announced before each League Day.
