Watch the qualifiers

THE BRACKET

WEEK 1–2

Open qualifiers

128 → 32. Online, double elimination, Bo3. Four regional shards so nobody plays across 200 ms of ping.

WEEK 3–5

Group stage

32 → 8. Eight groups of four, round robin, every match broadcast. This is where the prize money starts paying out.

WEEK 6 · LAN

Hyderabad finals

8 → 1. Three days at HITEC City, in front of 2,400 people. Bo5 grand final, and the stage is real.

WHY OPEN, EVERY SEASON

Invited slots are how a scene calcifies. Season 2 was won by a roster that formed eleven days before the qualifier and would not have been invited to anything.

✓Zero invited teams, including defending champions
✓Regional shards so ping is not the deciding factor
✓Prize money from the round of 32, not just the top four
✓Every match VODed and publicly reviewable

Who can register?+

Any five-player roster with one substitute, all 16 or over, resident in India or Sri Lanka. Under-18s need a guardian consent form uploaded before the group stage.

Is there an entry fee?+

No. Nothing to enter, nothing to progress. The pool is sponsor-funded and published in full, line by line, on the prize page.

How is cheating handled?+

Anti-cheat client mandatory from the round of 32, plus manual VOD review of every upset. Two bans last season, both published with the evidence.

What if a player cannot make the LAN?+

One substitution permitted between the group stage and finals, declared 72 hours ahead. Travel and accommodation for all eight finalist rosters is covered by us.

Are there rules on co-streaming?+

Yes and they are permissive: delay of 90 seconds, our overlay must stay visible, no monetisation of the raw feed. Everything else is yours.
