The System

There will be 4 qualification night cups. The 1st 2 rounds will be best of 1, with the top 32 playing Best of 3. The semi-final and final will be played on the day after! The cups are not limited to Americans, but are open to the world.

The Relegation will follow, where the 2nd place from each cup will have to play a 3rd place team, with the winner of these 4 games joining the 4 1st place finishers in the Razer Series!

In the Groupstages, these players will be split into 2 groups of 4 and play each other over the course of a week. All of these games will be casted on dow2live.

Once the groupstages are finished, the top 3 from each group will qualify to the Playoffs, with only the top 3 getting prizes!
