What is the difference between an Online Qualifier and Online Pro Circuit Events?
Online Qualifiers correspond with and are run prior to each Pro Circuit Live Competition. Online Qualifiers are run only for games that also appear at Pro Circuit Live Competitions. Online Qualifiers have no prizes other than Rank Points and reserved team passes. Online Pro Circuit Events offer cash prizes and operate in a way similar to the Pro Circuit Live Competitions. Online Pro Circuit Events do not directly correspond with the Pro Circuit Live Competitions. Titles on the Online Pro Circuit do not appear at the Live Regular Season Competitions, but will appear at the Live National Championship Competition. You can think of the Online Pro Circuit as an “online-only” Pro Circuit. However, there are still pro teams that will be members of the Pro Players Association, there is still as season-long Rank Points race, and there will still be a National Champion crowned for each Title at the end of the season.
