Helix Gamers League announced the HGL Battleborn Championship Series. This league will provide the form of actual professional Esports. What we mean by that is the league will follow a new rulebook that has been modified to resemble the likings of Battleborn, but provides key features that are used in most if not all professional Esports scenes. With that said all 4 game modes are available for play, but teams have the right to ban game modes for each match same with maps. This league might just be the last one as it tells HGL who is serious about the competitive scene and if they should continue hosting Battleborn tournaments.
The League will feature 8 weeks of normal play. Where teams will play two matches a week (best of 3 series) scheduled by those teams throughout the allowed timetable ( Monday – Sunday 10 AM – 11 PM EST) The winning team of their weekly games will be awarded 20 points. After the 4th, and 8th Regular weeks, there will be a Points tournament. The top 4-16 teams in the league will be put in pool play, while the rest will be allowed to play in the Open Bracket. The maximum amount of points awarded in Pool Play and the open bracket is 60 points. The teams that are in the Pool Play and the top 2-4 teams in the Open Bracket will be invited to the Championship bracket for that tournament where another 40 – 60 points maximum can be earned. At the end of the 8th week, a Last Chance Qualifier will be played. The top 2 – 8 teams are excused from this tournament. This tournament will run for more points with a double-elimination bracket. Allowing the minimum amount of points earned being 0 and maximum being 90 – 150 points. The top 2-4 teams in standings, excusing the teams that have already qualified, will be invited to the League Championship (Online).
