What's up with Rankings on the E-Sports Seeding Table?
Level 1: Free Tournament - The champion is awarded points equal to the number of teams in the tournament. Second place is awarded points equal to the number of teams minus 1. This point allocation continues to decrease by one for each person in the tournament with last place gets 1 point. In an 8-team tournament, the champion would be awarded 8 teams.

Level 2: Paid Tournament - Points are allocated similarly to Level 1 but have a multiplier of 2. In an 8-team tournament, the champion would be awarded 16 points, second place would get 14, and so on.

Level 3: Paid Tournament - Points are allocated similarly to Level 1 but have a multiplier of 3. In an 8-team tournament, the champion would be awarded 24 points, second place would get 21, and so on.

NOTE: No-shows or teams that drop out mid-tournament will be marked with an F and receive -1 points.
