Server:
As a general rule, a stable connection of both players to the server is preferable to the lowest delta. The server with a stable connection for both players and the lowest delta should therefore be selected.If the ping delta is over 70, the servers on each map will be changed. The home server is the one on which the coin toss loser has the lower ping, the away server is the one on which the coin toss winner has the lower ping. The game is then played Home - Away - Home.
Final Tournament:
Double elimination Bo 3 for the entire bracket. The Grand Final is Bo 5 with bracket reset.
