EACC Summer 2023™

The EA Champions Cup Summer 2023 is taking place in South Korea from 21 to 23 July in the same new format as the EACC Spring and will be broadcasted across China, Korea, Thailand, and Vietnam. The tournament will feature the top 8 teams competing over three days of intense competition for a total US$100,000 prize pool.

About the competition

The EA Chmapions Cup Summer 2023 comes with a new format this year. Two teams from each participating country – China, Korea, Thailand, and Vietnam – each consisting of three to four players, will battle it out in a two-sided double-elimination styled bracket. During this double-elimination bracket, each matchup will be played in a Best-of-5 format, meaning that teams must win at least three games out of the maximum five games played to advance.

Unlike previous seasons, this season’s Best-of-5 format will no longer include a “winner stays”-rule for the selection of the representing athletes. Instead, both teams in the matchup will nominate a different individual athlete for each of the first three games. For the optionally required game four and five, the athletes from games one, two, and three can be re-nominated. As a result, a single athlete can only compete in a maximum of two games during a single matchup between two EA SPORTS™ FIFA Online 4 teams, putting a greater focus on the performance and tactics of the entire team.
