3.1 Math Format

All matches will be played as a Best of three (Bo3) unless the players played each other.
If the players play each other for a second time in the event, the match expand to a Best of Seven (Bo7) including the results of their previous game, and start from there.
 

For example, if player A wins 2 to 0 from player B. The extended series will start with a 2-0 advantage for player A.
 

The finals are played as a Bo7. If the players played each other in the earlier rounds the score from their previous match is transferred in the Bo7 championship match.
 

If the players didn’t play a match in the earlier rounds they first need to play a Bo3. If the winner from the winner bracket wins this Bo3. he will win the tournament and no Bo7 needs to be played. If the winner from the loser bracket wins this match, the match will extend into a Bo7.
 

The first map of each Bo3 will be chosen by a map randomizer available on the website. The following maps are chosen by the loser of the round before. A map cannot be chosen multiple times during a single match. In an extended series none of the earlier played maps may be selected again.
