Information[edit]
Note: The Playoffs were intended to be played offline at Esports Stadium Arlington in Arlington, Texas, with the Grand Finals to be hosted at the Galen Center in Los Angeles, California, however, due to the ongoing situation surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, these events were cancelled and matches would be played using the regular season format, where West region teams travel to Hawaii to minimize latency between the two regions. [1]
- Postseason (Playoffs) - September 21st - 25th, 2021

These final eight teams will compete for the league championship in a Double Elimination bracket.
