The format

The R6 5v5 Tournament, a one-time event co-hosted by AleksK9 and Notvash30, had six captains draft their teams live on this site in a snake draft: each team picked one player from every tier, so every roster was built the same way. Matches were first to 7 rounds, with overtime first to 8 at 6-6. The playoffs were single elimination. Seeds 1 and 2 got a bye to the semifinals, every match was a Bo1, and the final was a Bo3.
