Deadlock Premier SHOWDOWN #2 Announced - NA and SA Compete for a Cross-Regional Championship
May 20, 2026
Deadlock Premier (DP) officially announces Deadlock Premier SHOWDOWN #2, the organization's next major competitive event and one of the most ambitious Deadlock tournaments to date. The event will feature two separate regional brackets — North America and South America — with top teams from both regions advancing to a unified cross-regional playoff stage.
Format
SHOWDOWN #2 runs in two phases. The first phase consists of two independent regional brackets — one for North America and one for South America — each running a Swiss system followed by a group stage. Top-performing teams from each region then advance together into a single cross-regional playoff bracket, where a unified champion will be crowned.
Coverage
Deadlock Premier SHOWDOWN #2 will be broadcast across three separate streams, providing full coverage of all matches across both the North America and South America brackets.
Signups
Team registrations open in approximately one month. Signups are handled exclusively through the Deadlock Premier Discord server. All participants are required to review the official rulebook before registering, as knowledge of the rules is presumed from the moment of publication.
