ALGS Championship 2023: How to watch

The matches will also be streamed on YouTube and Steam.

ALGS Championship 2023: Format

The format for the tournament is the same as last year, and is almost identical to the formats for the Split 1 and Split 2 Playoffs.

The ALGS Championship 2023 will use a group stage with a double-elimination bracket format. For the group stage, teams will be seeded into four groups of 10 based on Playoff Points earned throughout the season, or their LCQ tournament performance. Each group will play a single six-match series against every other group, totaling 18 matches per team.

After the group stage, teams will be seeded in the bracket stage based on their performance. The top 20 group stage teams will go into the winner’s bracket and the bottom 20 into the loser’s bracket. There will be one eight-game series for the winner’s bracket and two for the loser’s bracket. The top 10 teams from the winner’s bracket series will advance to the finals while the rest will filter down into the loser’s bracket.

Ten more teams will qualify from the first loser’s bracket series and the final 10 will come from the second series.

The finals of the 2023 ALGS Championship will use a match point format. Once a team reaches 50 points in the finals, they will become “match point eligible” and the first team to win a match after they are eligible wins the tournament. There is no limit to the number of teams that can be eligible and there is no match limit for the finals.
