Skyesports Souvenir 2025 – Tier 2 Tournament
Sole Tier 2 event on the calendar is set to be the Skyesports Souvenir 2025. This event
will not have an open qualifier. With 12 teams, the event will be played across two stages including an online Closed Qualifier (Jan. 20 to 26, 2025) and the Main Event.
12 teams will receive an invite, from Global VRS Rank 9 onwards with the top four ranked teams directly seeded into the Main Event. The remaining eight teams will compete for the four other Main Event slots in the Closed Qualifier, an online stage hosted on the Europe Server.
For the online Closed Qualifier, any team not bootcamping in Europe will be provided with travel, accommodation, food, and bootcamp expenses to Europe or nearby regions to ensure a level playing field in regards to ping for all competing teams.
The Closed Qualifier will see the eight teams split into two even groups of four teams each. They will compete in a GSL-style format with each match being a best-of-three. The top two teams from each group will advance to the Main Event.
The Main Event, with the four directly invited teams and four teams from the Closed Qualifier, will feature a double-elimination bracket to determine the champions.
