Best of 3 in all rounds.

In a Best of 3 map veto (removal and pick) system is used. The high seeded player(seeds can be found at round 1 on the grid page) decides who starts. Players take it in turn removing maps until only 3 maps remain in a best of 3. Then each player picks a map. Maps are played in order they are picked. The remaining map is played last.

Hope to see TY and Inno at Katowice.
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

If I'm reading this correctly, you do not actually have live somewhere in Asia to actually play in this qualifier? You only have to play on the KR/TW server?

You know that ESL pays for flights from the region (at least in former IEM's) so if korean will win eu qualifier he would only get a flight from anywhere in Europe to Katowice. If we take into account that only the winner get paid korean teams wouldn't send their players to EU or NA qualifiers (well Axiom might be the only exception but i doubt TB would want to fork plane tickets from KR to NA or EU)

One of the sickest qualifiers ever is about to start, this bracket will be legendary. Can't wait. Well Bly will crush them all I think



Maru and Serral are probably top 5.
