Event Overview [ edit ]

Format [ edit ]

The Kansas Starcraft League is a month-long tournament, starting with a group stage before advancing into a losers-bracket style tournament.

Group Stage

Players are assigned into groups according to the times that the they are available to play their games.

Each week, each player will play one Best-of-3 series against one other player in their group. This will continue for 3 weeks, until each player has played each other player in the group, round-robin style.

Playoffs

After the group stage ends, the players will be seeded based upon their group finish.

They then will be placed into the playoff bracket accordingly, with all participants playing in either the Winner's or Loser's bracket.

The highest 4 seeds in the Winner's bracket will receive a 1st round bye.

The playoff bracket is double-elimination style.

The matches will be played in a Best-of-3 format until Round 4. The remaining rounds will be Best-of-5.
