Karman Singh Tikka and Charanjot Singh both began their Asian Games 2023 campaigns in the Round of 32.
With the exception of the championship match and qualifying round, the FC 24 event uses a double elimination format, which means a player may only be eliminated after losing two ties.
The 16 Round of 32 winners move into the winners’ bracket and compete against one another there until a winner from the bracket is decided following the winners’ bracket final.
The losers’ bracket is comprised of the 16 losing teams from the Round of 32.
Every other round (2, 4 and 6) the losers from the winners’ bracket will continue to move down to the losers’ bracket to compete against the teams moving on from earlier rounds. The losers’ bracket final will feature the victor of the losers’ bracket round 7 and the loser of the winners’ bracket final.
The losing team from the losers’ bracket final will be awarded the bronze medal, while the winning team will advance to the grand final and compete for the gold medal against the eventual winner of the winners’ bracket. At the Asian Games in 2023, all matches in the FC Online competition will be decided by a best-of-three series.
A total of 36 esports competitors from 21 nations are taking part at the Asian Games 2023 FC Online event.
