What was the format of the 1win Dota 2 Series Summer?

The 1win Series Dota 2 Summer had a simple and easy-to-follow format. There were eight teams split into two groups of four. These groups then fought against each other in a modified GSL format.

In the group stage, most matches were best-of-one, meaning it took only a single win to proceed ahead. Decider matches were an exception, where those were a best-of-three. 

After both groups were done with their matches, the top two teams from each group competed in the playoffs, transitioning to a double-elimination bracket. The bracket gives teams that lost their first match a second chance. Unlike other matches, the finals had a best-of-five series.
