VCT Ascension Pacific 2024 Format
As for how this year’s VCT Ascension Pacific tournament will work, there are 10 teams, and they’ll be playing in a “double-elimination” format. This basically means a team has to lose two times before they’re out of the tournament. Most of the matches will be best-of-three, which means the team that wins two out of three games moves forward. But for the really important matches, like the lower bracket finals and the grand finals, they’ll play best-of-five, meaning whoever wins three out of five games will be the winner.
The teams that are playing have been organized based on how they performed last year. Teams from Singapore/Malaysia and Japan have done well before, so they don’t have to play in the early stages—they get a bit of a head start.
