Open Bracket

Players will have one FINAL chance to play in the grand finals. This open bracket at the finals will be limited to just 16 players and it will be a single elimination Best of 3 bracket. So just two rounds will be need. Ro16 > Ro8 and Ro8 > Ro4. These top 4 winners will be randomly inserted into group stages as the last seed.

You can sign up the for open bracket over here.

Spots are limited so the highest priority will be given to players who have performed well at previous Vengeance Cups. Players who qualify from the open bracket will be winning at least $50, which is the minimum payout for places 9th-16th.

Seeding & Format

At 1245, the groups will be drawn LIVE. If you want to watch this make sure you come on time.

The players will go into a group stage based on their placements. i,.e It will be impossible for two 1st seeds to be in the same group. Each group will look like this and go through randomnisation so you have no idea who you will be playing until the day itself.

Group Stage Composition:

• 1st Seed
• 2nd Seed
• 3rd Seed
• 4th Seed - Open Bracket Qualifier

Then it will go into the 5 match GSL style, 1st seed vs open bracket qualifier and 2nd seed vs third seed, etc.

+ [GSL STyle format explained] +

(Each group 4 players - A, B, C, D) GSL Style prevents deadlocks.
• Match 1: A vs D i,e First Seed vs 4th Seed.
• Match 2: B vs C
• Match 3: Winner of Match 1 vs Winner of Match 2
• Winner of this match qualifies from group as top seed
• Match 4: Loser of Match 1 vs Loser of Match 2
• Match 5: Winner of Match 4 vs Loser of Match 3
