Blink Respawn 2026

1. Upper Bracket (UB)

• Structure: Starts from the UB Semifinals and progresses to the Upper Bracket Final.

• Match Rules: Matches are played in a Best-of-3 (Bo3) series (first to 2 wins).

• Advancement: Winners advance through the upper side, while losers drop down to the Lower Bracket Quarterfinals.

2. Lower Bracket (LB)

• Structure: High-stakes elimination rounds (LB Quarterfinals, LB Semifinal, and Lower Bracket Final). Any loss here results in immediate tournament elimination.

• Match Rules: The final rounds (such as the LB Final) escalate to a Best-of-5 (Bo5) series (first to 3 wins).

3. Grand Final & Bracket Reset

• The Matchup: The undefeated Upper Bracket Champion faces the Lower Bracket Champion.

• Winning Condition:

  • The Upper Bracket Champion only needs to win one Bo5 series to claim the title.

  • The Lower Bracket Champion must win two consecutive Bo5 series. Winning the first series triggers a "Bracket Reset" (as shown by the 3–0 then 3–1 scores), leveling the playing field for a final, decisive championship series.
