Schedule & Map Pool
The tournament will be divided into a group stage and a playoff bracket, with the Group Stage seeing teams playing over a 4 week period using the Swiss System (see explanation).
The top 8-16 teams (depending number of signups) will qualify for the Playoff Bracket, which will be a single elimination event with each fixture being contested as a best of three map event. The maps will be decided using a Map Elimination method, which you can read more about here.
