During the Splitgate Pro Series Summer Season, eight teams will compete in seven days’ worth of matches across five weeks. Currently, the Pro Series is slated to include Bork and Fire Rate Diff, alongside the aforementioned professional esports rosters.

After the fifth week of the Regular Season, the top six teams will advance to the Pro Finals. There, they will compete for a $30,000 first-place payout. Meanwhile, the bottom two teams will have to fight to maintain their pro status in the Relegation Playoffs. They will have to face the top two teams from the Finals of Splitgate’s amateur league, the Challengers Series.

As part of its sponsorship with the Splitgate Pro Series Summer Season, Prime Gaming will provide exclusive content drops every month throughout 2022. Skins, portal effects and more are already available in game for players who link their Amazon accounts.

“The Prime Gaming team is passionate about supporting the incredible players in the world of esports, and we’re looking forward to the kickoff of the summer season of the Splitgate Pro Series,” Prime Gaming head of global marketing Andrea Cutright said. “1047 Games has been a great partner, bringing our Prime members even more value with the recent in-game content made available to players.
