Map Selection Rules:
+ Show Spoiler +
Best of 1 in all rounds until the Round of 64 players total is reached (*Round of 32 Winners and Round of 32b Losers Bracket*). At
those rounds and higher it is a Best of 3. Once Round of 4 (top 2 winners and top 2 losers) is reached the matches end, and the 4 players then move to Stage 2.
In a Best of 1, Best of 3 and Best of 5 a 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. Then each player picks a map. Maps are played in order they are picked. The remaining map is played last.
