Shanghai Major EU B RMR Dates & Format

As with the other three events, the Shanghai Major European B RMR is an offline tournament (no crowd) taking place in Shanghai, China. Teams are competing from their team rooms, so there's no latency advantage. 

The event runs from 21 to 24 November 2024. This is the last RMR before all the teams for the main event of the Shanghai Major are known. 

The format is a 16-team Swiss System, where elimination and advancement matches are best-of-three (BO3), and all other matches are best-of-one (BO1). The Buchholz system is used for matchups from Round 3 to Round 5.
