FNCS Major 3 Schedule and Progression

Below is the schedule for FNCS Major 3 and the FNCS Last Chance Major:

For each weekly FNCS Major 3 competition (Weeks 1, 2, and 3), the top 200 highest points-earning duos from Round 1 will advance to that week’s Round 2 session. Following the conclusion of the Round 2 session, the top 50 highest points-earning duos from each region will advance to that week’s FNCS Major 3 Weekly Finals.

Each duo that participates in the final round for a given weekly FNCS Major 3 competition (Weeks 1, 2, and 3) will be awarded Series Points based on their results from that week. The top 50 duos (in other words, the 50 duos who’ve earned the highest cumulative Series Points on the Series Leaderboard across Weeks 1, 2, and 3) will qualify for the FNCS Major 3 Grand Finals. There will not be a Surge Week during FNCS Major 3.

The FNCS Major 3 Grand Finals will take place across two days of competition, with six matches each day for a total of twelve matches. Duos with the highest cumulative points on their region’s FNCS Major 3 Grand Finals leaderboard will win a piece of the $2,001,200 prize pool, and the top duos in each region will advance to the 2023 FNCS Global Championship.

FNCS Last Chance Major Format

The FNCS Last Chance Major will take place across three days of competition. The top 250 duos from Round 1 with the highest cumulative points on their region’s FNCS Last Chance Major leaderboard will advance to Round 2 of the Last Chance Major. The top 50 duos from Round 2 will advance to Round 3, and those top 50 duos will compete in six matches on August 20 to earn a qualification spot in the 2023 FNCS Global Championship.

FNCS Community Cup
