The top eight teams that qualified for the Main Event will be competing in a double elimination bracket; if they lose their first matches, they will drop to the losers’ bracket where they’ll have to fight to stay in the competition. This format essentially gives every team a second chance if they stumble during their run.
All of these matches will be best-of-threes, with the exception of the Grand Finals, which will be a best-of-five. In addition to qualification points, the teams are competing for a share of the $50,000 prize pool.
