During the regular season, teams played in round-robin groups of eight with other teams in the same division. One match is played per week per team, consisting of a best-of-nine set with fixed map and mode setups. Some matches are broadcast on Leagues Under the Ink's official Twitch channel.
Season 2

For Season 2, teams are split into five divisions. The Forge Division is the Elite Division featuring the top eight highest ranking teams, the SquidForce Division is the Top Division featuring the sixteen highest ranking teams, the Rockenberg Division is the Main Division featuring thirty two teams not part of the top sixteen or eight, lastly the Krak-On Division and the Skalop Division are the Open Divisions featuring any and all teams that do not meet the criteria for the other divisions.
