## UPDATED REGULATIONS (May 8, 2026)

The regulations have been updated. Please pay close attention to the following changes:

### 1. Match Format (Knockout Stage)
To make the final stages more intense, we have defined the number of games per round:

• Round of 16 & Quarter-finals: Best of 1 (BO1).
• Semi-finals & 3rd Place Match: Best of 3 (BO3).
• Grand Finals: Best of 5 (BO5).

### 2. Full Match Uniqueness
Starting from the Quarter-finals, a new tactical constraint is introduced:

• ALL spells used across a match (whether it’s 3 or 5 games) MUST BE UNIQUE.
• You must plan your spell book for the entire series.
• Penalty: If a player repeats a spell in the 2nd or 3rd (or subsequent) game of the same match, they will receive a TECHNICAL LOSS for that specific game.
