Following, Phase 2 and 3 will be much longer with eight gaming weeks instead of just three. Teams in Phase 2 and Phase 3 will be competing for PEL points to secure a slot in international tournaments, held at the end of each phase.
The best teams, based on the results across all three phases, will then compete at the Global Championship.
PEL Relegation System
Due to Phase 1 being shorter, no teams will leave or join PEL after the phase ends. However, starting from Phase 2, the rules of promotion and relegation will be applied. The bottom four PEL teams will participate in the PEL Promo Tournament and compete against the 12 best PEL Contenders teams. The top four teams from PEL Promo will then advance to the PEL in the following phase.
