test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Regular Season (August 21 \u2013 October 11, 2026):<\/strong> Eight franchise teams compete in a double round-robin format with every match played as a Best-of-3 (Bo3). Teams earn one point per series victory and zero for a defeat. Tiebreakers follow a strict priority sequence: total match points, net game differential, head-to-head series records, and head-to-head game records. The top six teams advance to the postseason, while the bottom two teams face elimination.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Playoffs (Late October 2026):<\/strong> A hybrid elimination system designed to reward regular season dominance. Seeds 3 through 6 enter Round 1 in single-elimination Best-of-5 (Bo5) matches. Seeds 1 and 2 earn first-round byes directly into the double-elimination Upper Bracket semifinals. The Lower Bracket Final and Grand Final expand into marathon Best-of-7 (Bo7) series, complete with official map selection rules.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span

drafting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You get a bit of an analytical edge by studying these pro mid rotations and target-focus setups in your own Ranked lobbies, but when you go into
