Maps
Battle.net Ladder Season 3 map pool is used:
- Deathaura LE (2)
- Jagannatha LE (2)
- Lightshade LE (2)
- Oxide LE (2)
- Pillars of Gold LE (2)
- Romanticide LE (2)
- Submarine LE (2)
Map vetoes
Before each match both players veto out two maps out of the map pool one by one in turns, leaving three maps to be played.
The player on the left side on the match page (top on bracket view) decides who starts the vetoes.
In short the map vetoes and picks are ABBA BAC. Players remove maps in ABBA order. Then the players take turns (BA) picking the map order from the maps that are left, starting from the first map that will be played. Player B picks the 1st map.
Server
All matches are played on the American servers (default is central) unless players mutually agree otherwise. Read more from the rules.
The mutually fairest server, on which the ping of both players is closest to each other, should be used when selecting which American server to use. If fairest cannot be determined, America Central server is the default.
Format
The tournament starts as a single elimination bracket and changes into a double elimination bracket from round-of-16 onwards. However, if there are 32 players or fewer total checked in, the whole tournament will be played in double elimination format. All matches are best-of-3.
The tournament will cease when top three players are decided. Reaching the finals (round-of-2) in the upper bracket or lower bracket is enough for qualification. The upper or lower bracket finals are not played.
