Grand Finals schedule

The Grand Finals will begin on Saturday, Feb. 1 at 8:45pm CT. As these will be played under match point rules, there isn’t a set number of these matches the final 20 teams will have to play. To win the ALGS Championship, a team must reach a threshold of 50 points and then win an individual match.

Teams that reach 50 points in the middle of a match and then win that match do not win match point finals; they much reach the threshold before a match begins in order to be match-point eligible.
