Rules
How cups work
One cup per rank
Every rank has its own cup at a fixed rank range, and you can enter only the cup for your rank.
Play when you are online
A cup is a weekend 1v1 league of 5 to 9 matches; the exact number is set in the beta. Every match has its own seed, so no seed can be scouted or shared.
Swiss pairing
Each match pairs you with a player on the same cup record, widening by at most one step when no one is online. Ties go to whoever beat stronger opponents.
What a cup is worth
Only the top cup gives playoff points, and your best 6 of 12 cups count. Lower cups give cosmetic rewards.
Majors and the playoffs
A Major has 64 players: the top 48 on points plus 16 from an open qualifier the week before. The top 16 on points play the playoffs, single elimination with a best-of-seven final.
Playoff points come 20% from the ladder, 30% from weekly cups and 50% from Majors. Majors and the playoffs pay money and cosmetics; the amounts are announced when they are set.
