BLAST R6 Major Manchester 2024 format
The BLAST R6 Major Manchester 2024 features a three-stage competition format to whittle down the best teams.
The first stage throws eight teams into a double-elimination gauntlet. Here, only the top performers survive and advance. Eight teams compete in best-of-three matches, where the first team to win two maps advances. Only the top four teams progress to Phase 2.
The second stage shifts gears to a Swiss System, where teams with similar win-loss records face off. 16 teams—the four qualifiers from Phase 1 and 12 pre-qualified teams—compete. Most matches are best-of-one, while elimination matches are best-of-three. The top eight teams with the most wins and least losses advance to Phase 3.
The third stage has the remaining eight teams enter a single-elimination bracket. Eight teams compete in best-of-three matches for the quarterfinals and semifinals.
The grand final is a best-of-five, with standard overtime rules in case of a tie. The winner of this final clash is crowned the champion of the BLAST R6 Major Manchester 2024.
