Tournament Format

All matches will be a “4-game set”, where 4 maps will be played regardless of the outcome of the first three maps. The winner of each match will be the team that has won more maps than the other. The map pool will be released one week before season start.

In the event of a tiebreaker, a fifth “Control” map will be played. This map will be chosen by admins and may change each week.

Weeks 1-6

For the first six weeks of the tournament, we will be running a group format. In groups, everyone plays all other teams in their group once.

Teams tied on number of wins at the end of groups will be ordered by map win/loss differential.

Groups Map Pool
