Flashpoint has released the schedule for the first edition of the league, which will kick off later this week.

The inaugural season of Flashpoint will run from March 13 through April 19 and will be held entirely in the company's Los Angeles studio following the decision to cancel the finals in Stockholm due to the coronavirus outbreak.

The league will begin with two double-elimination group stages featuring three groups of four teams. These two phases of the competition will be used as a seeding tool to determine the eight teams going to the double-elimination playoffs.

Flashpoint 1 will start on March 13

Flashpoint has not yet announced the names of the last three teams who will be competing in the league. According to recent reports, Chinese organisation FunPlus Phoenix have signed Heroic's roster and are joining as a partner, while invites have been handed out to Chaos and HAVU, both of whom were in attendance at the recent Global Qualifier.

The group selection show will be held on March 12 at 20:00 and will see the teams themselves draft the groups. More information about the group selection and the swap process can be found here.
