QUALIFIERS (FEBRUARY 17-18 & FEBRUARY 19-20)
We’re keeping the same number of Qualifiers as last season, but in the new Duos format, we have increased the number of teams that directly qualify for Finals. The top eight teams from each Qualifier will advance directly to the FNCS Finals.
SEMI-FINALS (FEBRUARY 24-27)
Semi-Finals will also work slightly differently this FNCS season. For any Session, you’ll either need to win a game or be one of the top six most consistent teams during that Session to advance to the Finals.

Only the top 50 teams from the Series Point Leaderboard will compete during Session 1 in each region. Session 1 will consist of five matches, and 11 teams from this Session will advance to the Finals (5 Victory Royale winners and top 6 consistent teams). Here’s a condensed description of how Finals advancement works for each day:
Session 1: 5 Matches; 2.5 Hours; 1st – 50th on the Series Points Leaderboard
Session 2: 5 Matches; 2.5 Hours; 1st – 61st on the Series Points Leaderboard
Session 3: 6 Matches; 3 Hours; 1st – 72nd on the Series Points Leaderboard
FINALS (MARCH 5-6)
The FNCS Finals will be a similar format as previous seasons, but with the new Match Point variable. A team can end the competition early by earning 500 total points and 3 Victory Royales. Once a team has met both of these thresholds, it will be declared the FNCS Champions. If no team meets both of these thresholds by the end of 12 games, the Finals will play out exactly how it has the past few seasons.
