Best of 3 in all rounds. Once the quarter finals round is reached the matches end, and the 8 players then move to stage #2.
A map veto (removal and pick) system is used. The high seed (lower number) on the bracket chooses who starts. Players take it in removing maps until only one remains in a best of 1 or 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.
