The WCS 2022 - Philippines is the official tournament circuit for Wild Rift.

The tournament organizer, the Philippines Pro Gaming League (PPGL) is yet to announce how many teams will be able to qualify for the regional championship.

The highly anticipated group stage is finally set to kick off soon. All tournament matches in the group stage will be held in a BO3 double round-robin format. Earning enough points to reach the top two in the leaderboard will allow teams to proceed to the second round of the playoffs stage.
