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):
