ECL '24: Spring - 1v1: Sign up now!

SportsGamers,

The ice heats up once again with the ECL '24: Spring - 1v1 season, the exhilarating continuation of our 1v1 two-parter. After the chilling duels of the Winter season, we're back for the Spring segment, inviting you to sharpen your skates for more high-stakes competition. The action takes place in the Online Versus game mode on PlayStation 5, with battles scheduled on the 14th, 17th, 22nd, and 24th of May.

The competition's format is as thrilling as a sudden-death overtime, with each qualifier following a merciless double-elimination bracket. The stakes are high, as only the top 8 players from each qualifier will advance to the coveted TOP 32 group stage. The seeding is meticulously planned, ensuring a dynamic and suspense-filled progression through the tournament ranks.

The first seeds (1-4) will be the victors from the upper bracket of Qualifier 1, with the subsequent seeds (5-8) coming from the lower bracket's best. This pattern continues through the qualifiers, with each set of eight seeds alternating between the upper and lower bracket survivors, culminating in seeds 29-32 from the lower bracket of Qualifier 4.

This Spring season is not just a standalone event; it's a crucial part of the ECL '24: 1v1 year, which includes both the Winter and Spring seasons. The heat will truly turn up for the top 4 from each season, who will clash in the Grand Finals for an even larger slice of the prize pool.

Speaking of rewards, a glance at the attached prize pool graphic reveals a treasure chest waiting to be unlocked. In the Winter season, the champion will skate away with 300 €, while the runner-up and the semi-finalists will claim 150 € and 75 €, respectively. The Spring season echoes the same tune, but it's the Grand Finals that hold the golden puck in the form of an additional 1800 € up for grabs - 700 € for the grand champion, decreasing incrementally down to €75 for those placing fifth to eighth.

Note: The top 4 from the Winter season have already secured their Grand Finals spots and will not participate in the Spring qualifiers.
