Maps

The most current ladder map pool is used which is now 2015 Ladder Season 4:

Central Protocol
Dusk Towers
Lerilak Crest
Orbital Shipyard
Prion Terraces
Ruins of Seras
Ulrena

Map vetoes

Before each match both players veto out two maps out of the map pool in A-B-B-A fashion, leaving three maps to be played.

The player who made the first veto picks the first map to be played out of the remaining maps. The other players then picks the second map. The third map (if needed) is the last map that remains.

If the players can not decide who starts the map vetoes, the player who is visually higher up on the bracket starts.

Format

The tournament starts as a single elimination bracket and changes into a double elimination bracket from round-of-8 onwards. However, if there are 16 players or fewer total checked in, the whole tournament will be played in double elimination format. All matches are best-of-3.
