What is the tournament format?
The tournament has a double-elimination format. Teams have another opportunity to continue in the event even after their first loss.
It is a two-versus-two (2v2) format, so there are smaller maps in play. All of the opening matches are best-of-one (Bo1) series while the subsequent matches are all best-of-three (Bo3).
The tournament runs for two days starting on Jan. 5 and coming to an end on Jan. 6.
Broadcast talent
There are some top-tier commentators for the tournament. While the Russian audience has Evelone192 as the commentator, there are two in the English section.
James Banks and Jonatan "Devilwalk" Lundberg are the English commentators for the Evelone Duo Cup.
