Stage 1
The rise
Climb a tier with every win.
Winners climb, losers drop, kings collide
Rise & Fall
Thirty-two teams open on one line. Win round one and you rise; lose it and you fall. From there every loss is the end — the rise and the fall are the same climb, mirrored. The king of the winners meets the king of the losers for the crown.

Stages and rules
The stages are the sections the bracket page draws; the rules are what decides who moves between them.
- Everyone starts on the line: sixteen battles across the middle.
- Win round one and you climb; lose it and you drop into the fall bracket.
- Above the line and below it, every loss from then on is the end — as above, so below.
- The king of the winners meets the king of the losers. If the winners' king takes game one, it is over.
- If the losers' king takes game one it becomes a best of three: win again for the crown, or a third game decides it.
- 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.
Stage 2
The fall
One loss dropped you here; the next is the end.
Stage 3
Champions collide
One game, or a best of three if the fallen king takes it.
Stage 4
The pot
Split it, or fight for it.
