Following the success of our first season of the FIFA Masters Series (#FIFAMS), our 2014 season kicks off this weekend at epic.TWELVE. The FIFA 14 Winter Championship will be our 2014 launch qualifying offline event and the players finishing positions in the tournament will equate to the points they earn towards the FIFA Masters Series League Table.

The FIFA Masters Series (#FIFAMS) delivers:
- Overarching series bringing together FIFA community and FIFA events

- Opportunity for Elite players to become heroes and new comers to get involved and aspire to heroes

FIFA Masters Series (#FIFAMS) in detail
- The FMS runs for the life of a FIFA game, i.e. upto September, and will provide an overarching series of competitions that all contribute points towards the #FIFAMS league table.
- This is the cornerstone to build a new and vibrant FIFA community that delivers added value through the bringing together of all FIFA tournaments into a series of joined events.
- At the end of the season the FIFA Master Series Champion will be declared.
- The FIFA tournaments held at LANs will be the prestige events for the Series and these will be complemented also by qualifying online events at Sweetpatch TV.
FMS Points System
The points system has been developed to ensure fairness and encourage attendance at offline events.
Loyalty Points
For attending an event all players will receive loyalty points to acknowledge their commitment to the FIFA Masters Series and offline events will be rewarded more than online events, as follows:
- Online events = 1 loyalty point
- Offline events = 2 loyalty points
League Points
Every FIFA Masters Series qualifying tournament will provide points towards the FIFA Masters Series League based on the players finishing position, as follows (based on the Formula 1 Grand Prix points system with points doubled for offline events):
