TI12 Format and Schedule
TI12 will follow the same format as the previous edition in Singapore, with the competition divided into three weekends:
– Group Stage: October 12-15
– Playoffs: October 20-22
– The Finals: October 27-29
A new group stage format will replace the usual two large groups. Instead, there will be four groups of five teams each, with the last team eliminated before moving on to head-to-head matches. This means that every match will be crucial. Additionally, there will no longer be lower bracket best-of-one matches, and every playoff team will have at least one best-of-three series to fight for their tournament lives.
