What is the MBCGame Survivor
MBCGame Survivor, commonly referred to as Survivor, is the qualification tournament for the MSL. There are 12 groups of 4 players with 2 people advancing from each group into the MSL. That makes a total of 24 players which come from Survivor to the MSL.
Who plays in Survivor?
The 24 failures from the previous MSL are guaranteed a spot in Survivor and they make up half of the player pool. The other 24 come from the Offline Preliminaries – which will be explained later. So that makes a total of 48 players competing for 24 available spots.
How does Survivor Work?
A survivor group is played in a dual tournament format.
Dual Tournament Format
The winning two players advance through to the MSL while the other two have to try their luck next season and re-qualify through the offline preliminaries.
What maps do they play on?
Survivor uses all 4 maps from the previous MSL, but the order of the maps vary from group to group. Usually, there is 1 map for the first game, a different map for the second game, 1 map for both the winners and the losers and 1 map for the tiebreak. These maps may or may not be used in the upcoming MSL.
What is the result of Survivor?
24 players advancing from Survivor + 8 seeds = 32 players for the next MSL.
