Possible Format

Aside from the fact that this competition will feature 20 squads, there is relatively little else known about the format that will be used. 

However, since it’s unlikely that Respawn Entertainment will provide a custom server, this tournament will probably be played out in public matches, with teams getting points for eliminations and match placements.

The two formats that T1 and FACEIT will likely look to choose from will be the ones used by Code Red and Twitch Rivals in their respective public-match-based Apex Legends competitions. 

Code Red used a double elimination bracket where teams matched up against each other in each round tried to outscore each other over three matches, while Twitch Rivals used a time-based leaderboard format based on how many points teams could score in an allotted time window. 

The exact format to be used in the T1 x FACEIT Apex Legends Invitational has not yet been announced.

Prize Pool Breakdown

The prize pool for the T1 x FACEIT Apex Legends Invitational has been confirmed to be $25,000, although how it will be divided among the participating teams remains unclear.

We will post the full prize pool breakdown here once it has been officially announced.
