The Format!

This tournament is a double-elimination bo9 Winner's Format. Each match will consist of five players from each team. Teams choose their first player blind, then the winner of the first game stays on to play a new player from the losing team. The winner of each game stays on until all five players from the opposing team have been defeated. This can result in an all-kill, where one player defeats all five of the opposing players in a row. It can also result in a reverse all-kill, where a team's anchor player can come back from 0-4 to win it all for their team!

If Team A loses to Team B in their first match, they will drop into the lower or losers bracket and will have another chance to fight their way to the finals. The grand finals will require the team coming from the lower bracket to win twice in order to become the champions, while the team coming from the winners or upper bracket will only need to win one bo9. There will be 24 total teams competing from around the world!



Prize Breakdown

  • 1st Place: $9,000 split between the team any way they see fit.
  • 2nd Place: $4,000
  • 3rd Place: $3,000
  • 4th Place: $2,000
  • 5th/6th Place: $1,000



Schedule

As always, our live casts will begin at 5 p.m. PDT, or 00:00 GMT (+00:00) each day and tournament broadcasts will begin on Tuesday, May 15th! The main tournament will begin the week of May 15th. The grand finals are currently scheduled for early July.

There will be a European rebroadcast each day following the first broadcast at 19:30 CEST (17:30 GMT (+00:00))

Keep watching for more information on a fully-defined schedule.

I actually loved seeing Complexity and MVP compete together, they are my favorite two teams and if they end up going up against each other I won't really know who to root for. It always feels good to have one big team to root for in events such as this, in team sports in general most people have one team that they wholeheartedly root for and this kind of breaks that for me.

Oh well, I hope coLMVP can be an entity present in the GSTL next season at least. I certainly don't want to see this partnership end. It's been really nice having my two favorite teams consolidated as one entity that I can get behind wholeheartedly.
