Format

ESL invited six teams to compete in ESL One: New York. One team from the European Qualifier and one team from the North American Qualifier will also have a ticket to the tournament. Both qualifiers are played online.

The group stage will be in a format of a Swiss-system tournament, much like the ESL One Cologne 2016 Qualifier. In the end, the top four teams will advance to the Playoffs. All games in this stage will be a best-of-one. It will consist of five rounds.

The Playoffs will be formatted in a four team, best-of-three, single elimination bracket. The champion is decided when a team wins in the Finals.
