Eight teams will battle it out in a one week online tournament for a prize purse totaling $10,000.
The eight participants have been distributed into two groups of four. The tournament will utilize a GSL format during the group stage. As such, only the top two teams from each group will advance to the playoff bracket. Upon entering the playoff bracket, the format will revert to best-of-three and single elimination. The winners of the semi-finals will duke it out in the grand final, while the losers will have to settle for a third place decider.
99Damage Masters will take place over the course of about a week, with group matches beginning tomorrow. There is expected to be two matches played per night. Team SoloMid were given the top seed in Group A, whereas Epsilon were granted top seed in Group B. In light of the recent match fixing controversy, however, the French team has been replaced with the ex-ESC Gaming.
