Format & Rules ⚔️

The Launch Cup will take place through 2 phases: Swiss Round & Playoffs.

Swiss Round

  • All participants will play 4 Bo1 matches in a Swiss Round format, against a different player each round.

  • Each victory grants you 2 points and each draw grants you 1 point.

  • At the end of the Swiss stage, the 4 players with the highest number of points will qualify for playoffs.

Playoffs

  • The top 4 players from Swiss Round will compete in a single-elimination bracket, with Semi-Finals and Finals.

  • All matches will be played in Best of 3 format: the first player to reach 2 victories wins.

Fearless Relic Draft During Playoffs

To reward players who master multiple team compositions and ensure a good diversity of match-ups through the tournament, Playoffs will use the Fearless Relic Draft rule: during playoffs, each player can play a given Relic only once during a Bo3 match.

For instance, if a player plays Venomous Heart with Jorn Predator during game 1, this player can not play Venomous Heart again during game 2 and game 3. This player is allowed to play Jorn Predator equipped with another Relic.

Their opponent is allowed to play Venomous Heart once during the Bo3 as well.

This player will be able to play Jorn Predator with Venomous Heart once again during the next match.
