Tournament Structure:
This tournament will host a typical One Day Competition format featuring a straight up Double Elimination bracket. This means no pool play will be played for this tournament and all seeding for the Double Elimination bracket will be based off Online Round 1 points. Each registered player will have their total Online Round 1 points added up which will be the points used to seed the bracket. All players without Online Round 1 points will be seeded randomly after all players that do have points, so the more points you have the better position you will have in the bracket.

Map Pool:
The current ladder map pool will be used.

• Coda
• Echo
• Expedition Lost
• Vaani Research Station
• Cactus Valley
• Inferno Pools
• Iron Fortress
