ESL One : New York 2016

ESL One : New York 2016

Description
Format for this ESL One NY will be the “Swiss-system”, used for the offline qualifier of ESL One Cologne, to determine who makes it to the best of three playoffs.

The first two days will be played using the Swiss system to determine the four teams advancing to the playoffs. The teams, including the already announced SK Gaming, G2 Esports and Team Liquid, play on until they have scored three wins to qualify, or are eliminated (three losses) from the tournament. In every round after the opening round, each team is randomly matched against a team with the same number of wins that they have not played against before.
