All tournaments will partake in a single-elimination format and will automatically forfeit if you don\u2019t mark that you\u2019re ready to start the match upon the available time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each match will have a ban phase when selecting maps and will be limited to 25 minutes. If no result has been determined by the 25 minute mark, the team with the most EXP, acquired by killing opposing units, will be determined the victor. Blizzard has noted that the timing will be a little different on the Heart of the Swarm map due to the game-clock difference.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blizzard notes that it will heavily rely on the community to heavily playtest the program to find bugs that they may have no found at the moment. However, with the fans having requested this mode for the past couple years, I\u2019m certain that won\u2019t be a request that they\u2019ll have trouble fulfilling.
