The eMLS is Major League Soccer’s Professional Esports League and is regarded as the most competitive Esports league in North America. The eMLS calendar consists of three events: League Series 1 (LS1), League Series 2 (LS2) and eMLS Cup. Throughout League Series 1 and League Series 2, every eMLS Athlete will play each other once. An eMLS player who finishes in the top eight of LS1 or LS2 qualifies for a live streamed broadcast on MLS’ Twitch and Twitter Channels. After LS1 and LS2, the cumulative standings from the two events will determine seeding for eMLS Cup. The top 11 players from LS1 and LS2 will automatically qualify for eMLS Cup, while the remaining players will compete for the final spot in the eMLS Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ). The eMLS Cup is a single-elimination tournament, except for the Finals which is a two-legged matchup. The top three competitors in eMLS Cup will automatically qualify for the FC Pro World Cup.Â
