PGL Major Copenhagen 2024: Format
The PGL Copenhagen Major will have the same format as all recent S-tier tournaments, featuring an opening Swiss Stage with 16 to start the action. All matches in the opening stage are best of one except for elimination and advancement matches, which are best of three.
The top eight teams from that stage will move on to the Elimination Stage which will also feature eight invited teams that got to skip the first stage. The Elimination Stage is also run in the Swiss style with the same rules for matches.
The top eight teams from this stage will then go into a Playoff Stage with a single-elimination bracket where all matches are best of three.
The Opening Stage will start on March 17 and run through Match 20 while the Elimination Stage will run March 21- 24. The final Playoff Stage will round out the event running from March 28 – 31.
