The Opening Stage will be held from November 30th to December December 3rd, featuring 16 teams in a Swiss group stage.

Eventually, the top eight teams from this stage will progress to the Elimination Stage, while the bottom eight will be eliminated.
The Elimination Stage will be held at the same venue from December 5th to December 8th, featuring 16 teams in total, 8 that qualified from the foregoing Opening Stage and 8 who already secured their spots as the top seeds in the RMR. Similar to the Opening stage, the first match will be a best-of-one to save time and the more crucial advancement or elimination matches will be held as best-of-three. Here, only the top eight teams will qualify for the Playoffs, while the bottom eight will have their Major dreams crushed.

One of the most popular loyalty features on the platform is the KeyDrop Daily Case, which gives users the opportunity to obtain skins, gold, or account balance every day without making a direct purchase. But the system is controlled by particular XP levels, cooldown timers, and verification procedures; it's not just a "click and win" button.
This guide covers how the Daily Case system operates, why your case could be locked, and how to get the most out of your prizes as you advance through the KeyDrop levels.
