Beyond The Summit have teamed up with a range of global Dota 2 heavyweights to deliver around the clock, global coverage of the Manila Major Open and Regional Qualifiers.
While everyone is just recovering from the explosive performances seen at ESL One Manila, Beyond The Summit have announced the Manila Major Madness Hub. The Hub is designed to give you, the Dota community, uninterrupted coverage of the global phenomenon that is the Manila Major Qualifiers.
Beyond The Summit will be running round-the-clock coverage of the event with a dedicated live-stream to each of the four major regions. In addition to this, as part of the Manila Madness Hub, Beyond The Summit will be running a specially curated multi-cast stream which will provide regular updates and coverage of the action on the four primary streams so that you won’t miss anything. The Multi-Cast will be hosted by a range of talent including Dakota 'KotLGuy' Cox, Jorien 'Sheever' Can Der Heijden, Jake 'SirActionSlacks'Kanner, and Alan 'Nahaz' Bester.
Open qualifiers for the Major start April 29th and will run until May 2nd. The qualifiers will run with 64 teams from each major region competing in brackets of 32 in a single elimination, best-of-one format up to the semi-finals. The semi-finals and finals will be played in a best of three format and the two top teams from each region will advance to the main Regional Qualifier for their respective regions.
The Regional Qualifiers will then be run in a different format. Two groups of five will be created from each region who will compete in a best-of-two, round-robin format (meaning every team in the group plays every other team). For those who are unaware, the scoring system for this format is as follows;
2 points for a 2-0 win.
1 point each for a 1-1 draw.
0 points for a 2-0 loss.
At the end of the round, the points are tallied and the top two teams from each group move on to the playoffs. The playoffs are then played in a four-team, best-of-three, double elimination bracket. The top two teams from this bracket both qualify for the Major. No seeding is awarded based on performance at the Regional Qualifiers; all teams will enter 4x4 group stages at the Major on equal footings.
For anything else E-sports and Manila Major, make sure you keep a tab locked to GosuGamers.
