Tournament Structure and Roadmap

The journey to the trophy is split into three distinct phases:

Stage 1: The Regular Season (March 12 – April 19)

A grueling Single Round Robin (Best of 5).

• Top 2: Fast-track directly to the Playoffs Upper Bracket.
• 3rd – 10th: Enter the “Playoffs Deciders” to fight for seeding.
• Bottom 4: Eliminated.

Stage 2: The Playoffs (April 23 – April 26)

The top eight remaining teams enter a Double-Elimination bracket. While the opening rounds are Bo5, the intensity ramps up to Bo7 for the high-stakes matches.

Stage 3: Grand Finals (May 10)

The survivors fly to Shanghai, China, for a one-day, winner-takes-all LAN event to crown the Spring Major Champion.

Competitive Settings: Maps and Modes

The “Gunfight” winner dictates the pace of Game 1. Afterward, the loser of the previous map gains the tactical advantage of picking the next map and side.

Best of 5 (Bo5) Order:

1. Search & Destroy (Target 9)
2. Hardpoint (Target 250)
3. Control (Target 4)
4. Search & Destroy
5. Hardpoint

In Bo7 matches, the rotation adds a third round of Control (Game 6) and a final Search & Destroy (Game 7) to decide the victor.
