The open qualifier starts on Nov.8 with a best-of-one single-elimination format. After the single-elimination bracket, the top four teams will compete on Nov.9 in a series of best-of-three matches. Groups interested in registering for the open qualifier can sign up through FaceIt.

Event format

Mythic Masters will feature a GSL format. Participating teams will be organized into two groups of four and compete in a series of best-of-three matches. The top two teams from the opening matches will then face head-to-head for the group’s top seed and a spot in playoffs.

The losing squads will compete to stay in the tournament and play the loser of the winner’s match. Whichever team wins this match-up will be the last team to qualify out of the group stage. The event’s top four teams will then be seeded into a single-elimination best-of-three bracket, determining the event’s winner.

Mythic Masters schedule

Mythic Masters will kick off on Thursday, Nov. 11 at 5:00 p.m. EST. The group stage will conclude on Saturday, Nov.13. After two days of exciting match-ups, the playoffs stage is scheduled for Sunday, Nov.14. Semifinals #1 will start at 2:00 p.m. EST and semifinals #2 will begin at 5:00 p.m. EST. Lastly, the grand finals match-ups will occur the same day at 8:30 p.m. EST.

All matches will be streamed live on the official IBP Twitch channel.
