IT Home reported on August 15 that the first day of the 2024 Saudi E-sports World Cup "StarCraft 2" competition ended in the early morning of Beijing time today. Oliveira Li Pei-nan won, Coffee Wu Yi-chun lost。

The competition system of the StarCraft II event of the 2024 Saudi Esports World Cup is relatively complicated. IT Home has summarized it briefly as follows:

The 16 players who advance to the finals are divided into two groups, A and B. Each group will play a double-elimination match, and the top player in each group will directly advance to the semi-finals;

The second place winners of Group A and Group B will receive the third place in the semi-finals;

The 13 main draw players who did not qualify for the semi-finals will play a single-elimination match with the two last-chance breakout players (the second group player who failed to qualify for the semi-finals will have a bye in the first round) to determine the fourth semi-final spot;

The top four players will compete for the final championship in a single-elimination format.

On the first day of the competition, Oliveira Li Peinan from Group A lost the match point to Korean player ByuN in the BO5 Terran civil war, but he successfully won two consecutive games and advanced to the next round with a score of 3:2.

Li Peinan's next opponent is another Korean human player Maru. The match will start at 18:00 Beijing time today.
