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 one remains in a best of 1 or until only 3 maps remain in a best of 3 or until 5 maps remain in a Best of 5. Then each player picks a map. Maps are played in order they are picked. The remaining map is played last.

I hope we can see players like Naniwa, Scarlett, Snute in this qualifier. I guess the players like Innovation, Mvp, Soulkey are already seeded in the stage 2, this actually may be tougher than the main tournament.

Kespa and non-Kespa players have separate qualifiers, here is a link for Kespa players:
http://www.esl-asia.net/asia/sc2/masters/sh_13_kespa_quali/leagueinfo/

My guess is that each of the two qualifiers will have top 4 to join 8 seeded players to compete in Stage 2.
