Gamers Without Borders 2022 Europe Qualifiers Format
The GWB 2022 Main Event features a double-elimination bracket Playoffs. All matches are best-of-five except the Upper Bracket Finals, Lower Bracket Finals, and the Grand Finals, which are best-of-seven.
That aside, the GWB 2022 features a rather unique order of matches. In a best-of-five, the first match will be a standard 3v3, but the second and third matches are either 1v1 or 2v2 (depending on the loser of game 1’s choice). Ideally, a prominent team will sweep the series in just three matches, however, it can go further with games 4 to 5 in a best-of-five (or up to 7 games in a best-of-seven). In which, the loser of game 3 gets to pick the game mode again, either 3v3 or the other mode unused from the previous game. The additional take on game modes opens up a strategy talk for teams to decide which player should be housed for 1v1 and 2v2 scenarios.
All the teams are in the “money” by just attending, and each will get to choose a charity to donate their winnings to. The actual competition is for the four spots leading into the main event.
