Format

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.
