Prepare your maps
Before your first match, allocate a total of 10 training points across the maps. Support weaker maps or specialise in stronger ones. Map strength is not a win probability. Opponent strength is presented as a scouting range. Red highlights indicate bans; green highlights indicate picks. Each new game gives every nation 1–2 starting maps above 59 and 1–2 different maps below 39. Remaining maps range from 39 to 59 according to national strength. Starting values stay fixed during training; adding or removing a point never rerolls them. Your own map strength is exact; opponents use a ±3-point scouting range.
Progress through the tournament
Four groups of eight play seven BO1 fixtures each. The top four qualify. Standings use wins, head-to-head results among tied teams, round difference and rounds won. Playoffs are single-elimination BO3 with a BO5 final. Before your fixture, Advance round resolves only the preceding matches in the current round. After your fixture, it completes that round and opens the next one without playing any of its matches. The same boundary applies from groups to playoffs and between playoff rounds. Once eliminated, each click advances one round.
Follow matches and results
Follow map order, attacking and defending sides, and player statistics in the live match. In regulation, teams switch sides after 12 rounds. Playback and speed controls sit beside the map strip. Review individual maps in the match report, your match and map history in My Squad, and tournament performances in the leaderboard. The final reveals the champion and awards. Reloading the page resets your current tournament. Detailed Statistics hides portraits and displays the full compact database. Column headings sort every matching player across all pages and return to page one. Each page shows ten players.
