The Swiss Qualifiers: Surviving the Gauntlet

Both Session A and Session B will kick off with the Swiss qualifier system.

  • Format: Four Swiss rounds.
  • Match Rules: Each match consists of a single set. The first player to reach four points wins the match.

In a Swiss format, consistency is everything. You will not be eliminated after a single loss, but dropping early matches will severely impact your tiebreakers and seeding. Your deck prep here should focus on versatile, high-stamina builds that can safely secure points across varied matchups without risking high-variance burst setups.

The Knockout Stage: Sudden Death

Once the Swiss qualifiers conclude, the top players advance to the single-elimination knockout stage.

  • Format: Single elimination.
  • Match Rules: One set per match. First to four points wins.

This is where the meta shifts. With no safety net, players often pivot to aggressive Attack or specialized Defense types designed to force quick knockouts or out-spin their specific bracket opponent. One bad launch here sends you to the sidelines.

The Finals: Best-of-Three Showdown

The pressure peaks at the final and third-place playoff matches.

  • Format: Best of three sets.
  • Match Rules: Each set is played to four points. The first player to win two complete sets wins the match.

The extended best-of-three format requires serious deck depth. You must anticipate your opponent's counter-picks between sets and adapt your launch angles and Bey selection dynamically.
