FORMAT

Invite Playoffs

The main event in Philly will be the Invite Playoffs, where the top four teams from the online season face off in a double elimination bracket to determine the 18th RGL Invite champions. All matches will be played Bo3, except the grand final on Sunday evening, which is a Bo5 where the team coming from the upper bracket has a one map advantage.

Division One

Division One includes the bottom half of RGL Invite Season 18 placements with the addition of Chopped Chuds, who are replacing pallas cats. Division One runs an identical format to the Invite Playoffs.
