The ESEA regular season consisted of 16 regular season matches, played over 8 maps with one map per week. The top teams from each division participated in double-elimination playoffs to compete for the division's prize pool. Each game in the playoff bracket in the top division was played as a best-of-3-match, while playoff games in the other divisions are single-game. Between seasons, teams were promoted or demoted to another division based on their performance during the season.
