How is the qualifier tournament structure?
The devblog specifically said that there will be TWO rounds of qualification, 64 teams competing for 32 spots in the group play. That doesn't make sense to me. Is it double elim?

There's no elimination. It's a point-based system just like the group stages that follow it before the 16-team elimination.

The teams are paired up randomly for the first fight. Depending on the amount of points the teams get they are then ranked from #1 to #64.

The second round then consists of fights between #1 vs #2, #3 vs #4 all the way down to #63 vs #64.

The top 32 teams after the second round of fighting will proceed to the group stage.
