Best-of-Three-Matches A regular game in the running season is a best-of-three match. The higher seeded player decides if he wants to pick the first map and toss away as the latter or if he wants to pick the second map and toss away as the former. Two examples for the rules follow. The player which is higher seeded is P1, the other player is P2. Example 1)

  • P1 decides to pick the first map.
  • The next map is chosen by P2.
  • If a third map is necessary four of the five maps in the map pool have to be tossed. The order in which the players toss is P2-P1-P2-P1. The remaining map is played. Example 2)
  • P1 decides that P2 has to pick the first map.
  • The next map is chosen by P1.
  • If a third map is necessary four of the five maps in the map pool have to be tossed. The order in which the players toss is P1-P2-P1-P2. The remaining map is played.

Best-of-Five-Matches In the finale of the winner's bracket and loser's bracket and also in the grand finale the game will be a best-of-five-match. Each map can be played only one time in a best-of-five match.The higher seeded player decides if he wants to pick the first and third map or if he wants to pick the second and the fourth map.
