A total of 50 team captains from every region will be invited to inaugurate the Elite Series, where they'll handpick their squad of four members.
The 50 groups will then engage in a series of six RedSec battle royale matches. They will fight for their spot among the top eight squads in a knockout-style elimination mode known as Gauntlet. This format of competitive play will be repeated over three Qualifying Match Days, with teams earning Elite Series Points for their performances.
The competitive version of Gauntlet focuses on specific map and mode combinations, with the addition of an extended round timer. After playing the Qualifying matches for three days, the top 25 squads with the most Elite Series Points will reach the regional Season Finals.
As explained before, the prize pool for the first season of the Battlefield RedSec Elite Series is over $1 million USD across all three regional finals. The top four teams from each match will receive additional tens of thousands of dollars across all three Qualifying Match Days and the Season Finals.
The American region will have a $50,000 USD prize pool for each qualifying match day, along with a $500,000 USD prize pool divided among the participating squads in the Finals Gauntlet.
As for the viewers, Twitch Drops will be available across each Qualifying match day and the Season Finals.
