Double elimination bracket
All matches are Bo3, except Grand Final which is Bo5.
All maps apart from Breeze are eligible.
Bracket seeding
The top seeded teams from the two regions with the largest player base, North America and Europe, were seeded into the second round.
The remaining teams were randomly seeded with the requirement that teams from the same region could not be put on the same side of the bracket in order to avoid matching against each other in the initial rounds.
