However, there's a twist. You might be used to playing 5v5 under normal rules. In Solo Q, it's 1v1. To win, you either need to earn 'First Blood!', destroy your opponents tower or kill 100 creeps. Choose the tactic that suits your playstyle the best.
There are three stages of the Red Bull Solo Q tournament: National Qualifiers & Finals, Regional Finals and World Finals. Additional International Online Qualifiers and a Last-Chance Qualifier will be held leading into the World Finals as well.
