The structure of the FCNS 2024 Major is different from previous years, with three Majors taking place between January and July. The structure will be the same for all three, with an Open Qualifier where players will earn as many points as possible. This is followed by the Lower Semi-Finals Round 1 and Upper Semi-Finals Round 1, where you will compete according to your ranking on the leaderboard. This leads up to the Grand Final where 50 duos will compete.
This structure will take place over 5 weeks, with an 11-day bye week between the 2 Open Qualifiers and the rest of the tournament. You can take a look at the format in the image below:
