The first broadcast of the event will run this Friday, May 31 from 2-6 p.m. PST, and will feature a weekly event for the next seven Fridays after that, concluding on July 26. The event will feature 16 teams, 14 of which include a number of established esports teams:
- 100 Thieves
- Cloud9
- Complexity
- Counter Logic Gaming
- Dignitas
- Fnatic
- G2
- Gen.G
- Immortals
- Misfits
- NRG
- T1

The final two teams will be determined by a two-day qualifier event featuring teams from the Apex Pro Discord channel.
The event will be streamed live each week on FaceIt's official Twitch channel and feature one team streaming from the FaceIt studio while the other faces them online, with every player streaming their own feed of the match. Each weekly event has a $5,000 prize up for grabs, and a season-wide $10,000 prize will go to the best-performing steam throughout the series.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
