Registration has closed, and we are now ready to share the official brackets
for Stratus: The Rise of Woolwalker!

Firstly, we’re proud to announce that this will be our largest event since Rogue Gamemodes,
with 20 registered teams!

You can view all the teams, and their rosters here.

Teams will be divided into four groups of five teams each.
The format for the qualifiers will be Double Round Robin,
so each group will play each other twice.
The top three teams will advance to the invitationals,
with first place being awarded a bye for the first round.

We will run a poll among the Twelve teams that qualify
to determine the invitationals format out of the following options:

1. Two-Weekend Invitationals, Double Elimination, Bo5 Grand Final, all other matches Bo3.
   
   Tiebreakers will be played up until the Upper, Loser and Grand Finals,
   at which point the tied match will be replayed once.
   (If more than one match resulted in a tie, the tiebreaker would be played)
   
   Grand Finals will be Bo5.
   Teams will select four maps,
   and the fifth will be awarded as an initial win to the Upper team.
   

2. One-Weekend Invitationals, Double Elimination,
   Bo5 Grand Final, Bo3 Upper Finals and Loser Finals, all other matches Bo1.
   
   Tiebreakers will be played up until the Upper, Loser and Grand Finals,
   at which point the tied match will be replayed once.
   (If more than one match resulted in a tie, the tiebreaker would be played)
   
   Grand Finals will be Bo5.
   Teams will select four maps, and the fifth will be awarded as an initial win to the Upper team.
   

3. One-Weekend Invitationals, Single Elimination, Bo5 Grand Final, all other matches Bo3.
   
   No tiebreakers will be played, except for when the replay-map ties.
   
   Grand Finals will be Bo5. Teams will select four maps, and the fifth will be awarded as an initial win to the Upper team.
