Maps

For Qualifiers #1 and #2 the Battle.net Ladder Season 2 map pool is used:

(2) Coda LE [Blizzard]

(2) Echo [Blizzard]

(2) Expedition Lost LE [Blizzard]

(2) Vaani Research Station [Blizzard]

(4) Cactus Valley LE [Blizzard]

(4) Inferno Pools [Blizzard]

(4) Iron Fortress [Blizzard]

Please note that the Battle.net Ladder Season 3 starts on June 29, which means these maps will not be the current ladders maps during the qualifier.

Map vetoes

Before each match both players veto out two maps out of the map pool one by one in turns, leaving three maps to be played.

The player who made the first veto picks the first map to be played out of the remaining maps. The other players then picks the second map. The third map (if needed) is the last map that remains.

If the players can not decide who starts the map vetoes, the player who is visually higher up on the bracket starts.

Format

The tournament starts as a single elimination bracket and changes into a double elimination bracket from round-of-8 onwards. However, if there are 16 players or fewer total checked in, the whole tournament will be played in double elimination format. All matches are best-of-3.

Participation

The first 256 players to check-in will enter the tournament. The check-in button will appear on the right on this page when check-in starts.
