FLASHPOINT Season 1 Format

The format of FLASHPOINT Season 1 is something new in the CS: GO world. There are two phases in the Group Stage (or two Group Stages), and double elimination playoffs bracket. All of the teams will be seeded from 1 to 12 by a transparent, ranked system.

Before each Phase. FACEIT provides a show named Group Selection. Teams will be able to peak opponents, ban other peaks, and swap into other groups. The top three seeds teams will randomly be assigned into three groups A, B, and C.

After this has happened, the Captain of these teams will choose their opponents from the unassigned teams.

The most recently selected teams will peak new opponents from the unassigned teams, and repeat it in each Group until no teams remain.

When the groups are complete, the last teams in each Group will have an opportunity to swap, and top teams will be able to veto swaps. More information about FLASHPOINT swaps and vetoes you can find on this link.

The conclusion of the phases stage is that teams earn their Playoff points based on the final standing in each phase. The points will allow the top eight teams to progress through to take part in the Playoff.
