Let us start with the format updates first! As we previously mentioned, each player who drops out in the Group Stage of WCS Spring will get a second chance in the Knockout Bracket.
Knockout Bracket consists of six rounds and has a single-elimination format: players who drop out in the Group Stage 1 will play each other in Knockout Bracket Round 1 and Round 2, fourth and third place finishers in Group Stage 2 will join them in Round 3 and Round 4 respectively - and players who don’t manage to advance from Group Stage 3 will drop to Rounds 5-6 accordingly.
Please look through our format update video to get a general understanding of how the new format works.
If you want more details on the updated tournament format and seeding process, please take a look at our full tournament ruleset. If there are still questions left, don’t hesitate to reach out to our team via starcraft@starladder.tv!
