Schedule and match format
The tournament runs over two days. Day 1 cuts the field down to 16 teams, then the bracket resets for Day 2.
Day 1
Every series is best of 3
- Play continues until 16 teams remain: 8 from the winners bracket and 8 from the losers bracket.
- Those 16 teams advance to Day 2.
Day 2
Best of 5, win by 2, up to the finals
- The bracket resets with the final 16 teams.
- Grand Finals are best of 7.
Day 2 win-by-2 rule
Every best of 5 on Day 2 is win by 2, but the rule only kicks in if the series comes down to the final game.
- Win games 1 through 3 and the series is over.
- If the series reaches the final game, you have to win that game by 2 goals.
- Tied at the end of regulation? Keep playing until one team is up by 2.
Seeding
Just like Champions Road, seeds come straight from the 2s leaderboard, using each player's rank one week before the tournament.
Your team is seeded by its highest-ranked player. Seeding sets the opening matchups so the top teams are spread across the bracket and do not knock each other out early on Day 1.
