Once again, congrats to the teams that made it this far. Especially to the teams that finished in the Top 8 in North America. These teams will be competing to win $500 at the end of this tournament! Please read the news post below very carefully so that there is no confusion going into playoffs. Schedules and playoff brackets can be found here.
Round 1 map: Volskaya Industries (played in Mirror Mode) - This means 2 full playthroughs of the map (compared to our normal 1 playthrough). Each team will get at least 2 chances to Attack and 2 chances to defend. Teams will alternate who gets to attack first in each playthrough. The Home team has choice whether to attack first or defend first in the first playthrough. At the end of each playthrough, whichever team has won will receive 1 match point. If after 2 playthroughs the match is tied 1-1, proceed to the tie breaker map.
Tie breaker map (if needed): Nepal (played with CONTROL GAME MODE FORMAT = BEST OF 1) - Whichever team wins this map will receive 1 additional match point.
Possible match scores: 2-0 or 2-1
