Format

All World Cup matches are played as four map sets featuring a Control, Hybrid, Assault and Escort map. A fifth tiebreaker map will be played if necessary.

The entirety of the tournaments consists of a single round robin, in which the six teams will play a single match against every other competitor.

The top two teams at the end of the round robin advance to Blizzcon. Tiebreakers will first be decided by map wins and secondly by head-to-head results. If a tie persists between two or more teams, those teams will play a tiebreaker round-robin until there is no longer a tie.

Maps

The first map of each match will be predetermined. From that point onward, the loser of the previous map will pick the next map.

Control: Ilios, Lijiang Tower, Nepal and Oasis

Ilios, Lijiang Tower, Nepal and Oasis Hybrid: Blizzard World, Eichenwalde, King's Row, Numbani and Hollywood

Blizzard World, Eichenwalde, King's Row, Numbani and Hollywood Assault: Hanamura, Horizon Lunar Colony, Temple of Anubis and Volskaya Industries

Hanamura, Horizon Lunar Colony, Temple of Anubis and Volskaya Industries Escort: Dorado, Junkertown, Watchpoint: Gibraltar, Rialto and Route 66
