Map Format

Host / Start of elimination
The lower seeded player gets to host the first game and after that, it changes for every game no matter the outcome of the game. While the higher seeded player gets to start the map elimination.


For this tournament we will be using the map elimination system:

Both opponents proceed to ban maps from the map pool until there is one map left. The resulting map that has not been banned is the one that is played. For example:

KHANOMANCER - Snow Rift
Danku -Hateful Eight
KHANOMANCER - Hospital Hill
Danku - A Path Beyond
KHANOMANCER - Tournament Ore Rift
Danku - Snow Field

That leaves Keep of the Grass in the list. This is the map that is played.

Streaming
As the tournament will take place over the month of March, players are welcome to stream their own games or watch others play. Please ensure you keep a delay 5 minutes or more on your stream to prevent stream sniping.
