The Asia-Pacific RMR starts with an opening round of bo1 games and will proceed in a double-elimination format. The games switch to a bo3 setting after the first round with the second round in the upper bracket serving as the qualifying round. Two wins straight out the gate will confirm a team's appearance at the Major.
A loss in the first or second round, sends teams into the lower bracket, upon clearing which, a single team books their Major slot, filling the Asia-Pacific quota at the Perfect World Shanghai 2024 Major. The opening round's matchups were revealed a couple of months back, right after the closed qualifiers concluded.
The MongolZ will go up against Alter Ego, DRILLAS take on Lynn Vision, Rare Atom take on GR Gaming and an Australian derby sees TALON square up against FlyQuest in the opening round.
