From now, Veto will be carried out in the following way:

— Team A bans two maps
— Team B bans three maps
— Team A picks one map from the remaining two maps
— Team B chooses a side

This system gives a small advantage for a team, which is seeded higher, because of the pick of the final map. Let’s remind that a pick of the last map was run in a random way from remaining maps at previous tournaments. It is worth to notice that all teams, which have a status of “the legend”, will pick the final map at the group stage.

The championship will be hosted in Krakow, Poland from July 16 to July 23. 16 best teams from all over the world will struggle for the prize pool in the sum of $1,000,000. Teams to hold the 1st-8th place will receive a status of “the legend”, which will guarantee them a direct entry to the next Major tournament.
