What to Expect

How It Works

🏆 Tournament Flow

The tournament uses a double elimination bracket — every player gets a second chance after their first loss. Winners advance through the winners bracket; those who lose drop to the losers bracket. Lose again in losers and you're eliminated. The final two players compete in Grand Finals.

If the Losers Bracket finalist wins Grand Finals, a bracket reset occurs and a second Best 3-out-of-5 set is played. The winners-side player has only lost once, so you must win both sets to claim the championship.
