Two New Daily Tournaments
We added two more events to the daily schedule:
The Daily 2-Stage introduces a new tournament format: best-of-one matches until the final, followed by a best-of-three final.
That means quick early rounds and a full series to decide the champion. With mixed BO1 and BO3 stages now supported, we have more flexibility to build future tournaments around different formats.
