Three Swiss stages
A Major runs through the Opening Stage and Elimination (Legends) Stage in Swiss format — where teams play until they reach three wins or three losses — before the top eight reach the Champions (playoff) Stage.
Single-elimination playoffs
The Champions Stage is a single-elimination bracket of best-of-three matches, ending with the grand final to crown the Major champion.
