"The Rose took home the inaugural season's trophy in 2025 after entering the playoffs as the No. 2 seed. The Phantom have the league's best record a year after finishing last in the standings."
"A new playoff format highlights the second postseason for the Miami-based league. The top six teams advanced and will compete for the title and a $600,000 prize pool, which will be split among the six-player roster. Last year, four teams made the postseason, and each player from the championship team took home $50,000."
"The Phantom are the hottest team heading into the postseason. They have won seven consecutive games, which matches the second-longest winning streak in Unrivaled's two-year history. It's a complete shift from a year ago, when they failed to make the playoffs after finishing with the worst regular-season record in 2025."
Unrivaled's second postseason begins Saturday with a five-game, five-day tournament culminating in Wednesday's championship game in Miami. The top six teams compete for a $600,000 prize pool distributed among six-player rosters, a significant increase from last year's $50,000 per player on championship teams. The Phantom and Mist earned byes to the semifinals as top seeds. First-round matchups include Vinyl versus Laces and Breeze versus Rose. The Phantom finished with the league's best record after placing last in 2025, while defending champion Rose enters as the No. 5 seed. Semifinals will be held at Barclays Center in New York on Monday, marking the first time playoff games are played outside Miami.
