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.
