Fans of the North American Game Changers scene now know what to expect in 2024. The schedule for qualifiers and main events has been announced, as well as the format and circuit point structure throughout the year.

Game Changers NA 2024 format and circuit points
The format is similar to previous years. Each open qualifier for Game Changers NA 2024 will be in a single elimination format. That switches to double elimination once teams reach the main event.
Teams will battle it out for two sets of circuit points. There are open qualifier points and main event points:
- Open Qualifier Circuit Points: Accumulated during one of the three series, resetting after a series ends. Teams can play in more than one open qualifier to ensure enough points to reach the main event.
- Main Event Circuit Points: Teams that make it to the main event of a series will have a chance at these points. Placing high in multiple series' main events is how they'll punch their ticket to the championship.
Two teams are set to represent Game Changers NA at the 2024 championship tournament. The team with the most Main Event Circuit Points and the Series 3 winner secure those slots.
