EVENT FLOW:

* For those who aren't familiar with the format: will be matches against other player, in the type of BO1 (Best of one). Each victory awards 3 points, tie will award 1 point to each player, and lose will award 0 points.

* The next part will be single elimination brackets, BO3 (Best of 3). The top 8 players from the previous round will advance to this phase

* There's no Check-in for this phase, is advised to pay attention to the tournament screen. The Next match will start as soon the bracket is complete.


ADDITIONAL RULES

* In case a result isn't submitted by the time of the match clock ends, but the match is over, you can call a judge to submit the result, but have to have the screenshot of the result screen to prove the result

* If both players decide on the result of match being tie, call a judge. Both players have to explicit state they agree on a tie, otherwise the result will not be concede for that match.

* In case of connection issue:

> If it happens before the match start, both players have to retry the match.

> If it happens during the match, the player with the victory screen wins the match.

* Streaming: Players can stream their matches, is recommended to add a delay time to avoid your opponent getting unfair advantage.
