Map pool

A total of 9 maps from the options below will be randomly chosen during the stream of the “Map Picking Show” for each Groups stage round. After the Groups stage is completed, a total of 5 new maps will be added to the Knockouts stage pool, while 3 from the previous list will be voted to be excluded. Lastly, during the Knockouts, the first map will always be Roman Wall.

These 9 maps are collectively the map pool for that round, and players will use those in the draft, through the draft link made available each round.
