Champion's Gauntlet

The winner stays in the main gauntlet. Every defeated entrant gets one second-chance run before the bracket champions meet.

432 entrants

Stages and rules

The stages are the sections the bracket page draws; the rules are what decides who moves between them.

  1. The main-match winner stays for the next challenger.
  2. A second loss eliminates an entrant.
  3. The final resets only if the second-chance champion wins the first final.
  4. After the crown, the champions call the pot: split it down the middle, or turn on each other and fight 1v1 for all of it.
