Pairing:
GM Nihal Sarin vs GM Wesley So
The format-
1) The 32 players who qualify from the Play-in phase join 32 invited players;
2) They play a 64-player single-elimination bracket;
3) Players are divided into eight groups of eight players each according to their timezone;
4) Matches consist of four 15+2 rapid games;
5) If the match ends in a tie, a single rapid armageddon game determines the winner. White gets 15 minutes and must win, with a bidding system to determine who plays Black with draw odds. Players communicate privately the amount of time they are willing to get to play as Black; the lower time offered wins the bid, and that player starts with the amount of time bid. If the bid is tied, the higher-seeded player chooses the color.
Prize
The top-eight players move on to the CGC Finals, while the remaining 56 players share the total prize fund of $440,000 for the CGC Knockout.
