The 16 teams attending the Rocket League EWC tournament in Riyadh have been divided into four groups, where they’ll play out a double-elimination GSL bracket. Each match is a best-of-five; win two matches, and that victorious team progresses to the playoffs. Lose two, and that team will be going home.

The final eight will be reseeded into a single-elim bracket where each match is a best-of-seven. By Aug. 25, we’ll crown a Rocket League champ and dish out their $200,000 prize.
