The owner of the team for Premier will be able to choose a time zone that determines the servers you'll be playing on. So make sure you and your team decide what server is best to avoid lag while playing. Additionally, take note that each team will be seeded into one of 20 divisions, determined by the average MMR of the team’s top five players.
Teams will then be able to compete in two matches per week. Teammates can check the schedule in the Team Hub. You’ll earn points per match, earning more points if you win. These points will be added up to see which teams qualify for the Playoffs Tournament. If your team qualifies for the tournament, you’ll be placed into a bracket along with other teams that qualified from your division. Like professional tournaments, there will be a map pick and ban system.
Lastly, if you win all you matches, you and your team will get some cool prizes such as the Premier Beta Champions player card and Premier Beta Champion title. While for the losing teams, they'll be competing in a Consolation Bracket for third place. You'll still be able to get an in-game title and player card if you compete in one match in this bracket.
