September 30th at 1300 GMT

Hosted by none other than the legendary BARcastTV, this event is set to deliver heart-pounding action with 16 elite players battling it out in what promises to be one of the most intense tournaments ever witnessed, following the prestigious Starcraft GSL format.

The format

In this format, the four players within each of the four groups are divided into two pairs of competitors who engage in the opening matches, typically consisting of best-of-three or best-of-one matches. The victors from these initial encounters subsequently go head-to-head in the Winner's Match, while the two defeated players also square off in a parallel matchup.

Here's how it unfolds: the player who emerges triumphant in the Winner's Match secures a spot in the elimination stage, while the player who suffers defeat in the Loser's Match is eliminated from the competition. Lastly, the individual who loses in the Winner's Match and the one who prevails in the Loser's Match compete for a second chance to advance to the elimination stage.

Map list:

• Isisdis Crack
• Comet Catcher
• Red Comet
• Paradise Lost
• The Cold Place
• Heartbreak Hill
• Sertagatta
