This is a short post to remind all of you that after Round 3, the bottom 12 players (including in this number any dropouts that were not replaced) are going to be eliminated to the losers bracket from where they will have to compete for only one available spot in the Grand Final.

In Round 4 of the Winners bracket, the 1st pool players (now 6 in total, down from 9) will be determined by score. If there is a tie-breaker, it will be decided by their last round performance (2nd and 3rd place are still equal in these terms). The same will apply to the 2nd, 3rd and 4th pool players.

After Round 4, the previous system where the winners go to 1st pool, will take its place again. At the end of Round 6, the new bottom 12 players will join those who are going to be eliminated now, while the top 12 will play 3 semis to determine 3 finalists.

In short, we are in the middle of the storm, brace yourselves!
