The Predecessor Championship Circuit: Summer Summit 2026

The Predecessor Championship Circuit returns with the Summer Summit. A three-week gauntlet where the strongest teams in the scene clash for $14,000 across EU and NA. Additionally the winners of each region will get a Profile Icon, Banner and Overhead Emote released in game to represent their team.

The Predecessor Stage

The journey begins in Week One.

This opening stage features a double-elimination bracket, where a variety of teams battle it out for eight coveted qualifying spots that grant access to compete as part of the Top-16 in the Paragon Stage.

All early-round matches are best-of-one, with the qualification matches being best-of-three, ensuring only the most adaptable squads advance.

The Paragon Stage

Week Two raises the intensity.

Here, the eight qualified teams join the established powerhouse, Top 8 Teams with the most Pinnacle points so far. Together, they form a 16-team field entering an accelerated Swiss format built for drama and pressure.

The rules are simple:

• Teams always face opponents with the same loss record.
• The first five rounds are best-of-one, pushing teams to perform under tight margins.
• Top 3 teams go straight to the Pinnacle.
• Bottom 3 teams end their run here.

Then comes the turning point:

A sixth, best-of-three elimination round, where the remaining 10 teams face off, strongest vs weakest and rematches are possible. The 5 best teams will move on to the Pinnacle to join the 3 teams from the Swiss format to make the Top 8 and the final weekend.

The Pinnacle

Week three determines the Champion.

The final eight teams enter The Pinnacle, a full double-elimination playoff bracket.

Each match will be played out as a best-of-three, with the two teams that reach the Grand Final then battling it out in a best-of-five showdown to determine the Summer Summit Champion!

Pinnacle Points

Teams participating in the PCC will be eligible to earn Pinnacle Points (PP) based on their final placement. The higher a team places, the more PP they will earn.

In the event of a tied placement, all tied teams will receive the lowest point value available for that shared placement.

Pinnacle Point Perks:

• Pinnacle Point perks may include:
  • Improved seeding based on total PP
  • Bypassing play-in stages
  • Guaranteed registration
  • Access to exclusive events
  • Eligibility for exclusive interview segments

Roster Rules & PP Penalties:

• Teams may have a maximum roster size of 6 players.
• An event cycle is defined as the period between the conclusion of one PCC event and roster lock for the next PCC event.
• Between events, teams may add players as needed, up to the 6-player maximum. If a team did not previously have a 6th player, they may add one without penalty regardless of other roster changes.
• Any rostered player, including substitutes, counts toward roster change calculations.
• Teams must retain at least 3 of their previous rostered players in order to maintain ownership of their Pinnacle Points and team identity.

Roster change penalties are as follows:

• 0 player changes: Teams that make no roster changes throughout an event cycle will earn an additional 20% of the PP awarded for that event placement.

• 1 player change: No PP penalty.

• 2 player changes: Team loses 20% of their existing PP, rounded up.

• 3 or more player changes: Team loses all previously earned PP.

• PP penalties are based on the team’s total PP at the beginning of the event.

• PP penalties will be applied after the event concludes and will not affect seeding for the current event.

• Rosters lock at the start of each event unless an exception is approved by tournament administration.

Administrative Rules:

• PCC administration reserves the right to make rulings in exceptional circumstances, including emergencies, player bans, inactivity, or cases of attempted rule circumvention.
• PCC administration also reserves the right to reset or adjust Pinnacle Points between competitive seasons.
• PP may not be transferred, sold, or inherited outside of eligible roster retention rules.
