Berlin Masters Tournament Format
The tournament format has four group stages comprised of 4 teams each, where the top 2 teams advance from each group. In the group stage, all teams play each team in their group one time in a Bo3 with 8 total teams across all groups advancing to the single-elimination playoffs. The only exception is Group D, which will be played in a double round-robin system, with the top two teams advancing to the Elimination Stage. The tournament will run on Patch 3.04, which means without the new Fracture map and balance changes.
