Tournament Format
The tournament begins with a group stage during tournament week 2, where 32 representatives are divided into four groups of eight and compete in a round-robin format. All matches are played in the traditional Cup Mode with a point limit set at 120 points, with players earning points based on placement in each 1v1v1v1 race. This format focuses on the high-pressure "Finalist" status; once players hit the point threshold, they must secure a round win to claim the match.
The top four players from each group advance to a 16-player single-elimination playoff bracket. The format remains Cup Mode, but the intensity increases as the point limit rises to 140 points to decide each matchup and ultimately crown the Esports Nations Cup champion, with Finalist rules continuing to heighten the stakes in every race.
About
Trackmania is a high-speed racing title where players compete individually and in teams on meticulously designed tracks filled with jumps, loops, and tight technical turns. Success hinges on mastering each track’s layout, maintaining momentum through flawless lines, and executing under pressure, with every millisecond shaping the race outcome and overall standings. The competitive Trackmania scene is led by a handful of dominant Countries & Territories, with France long regarded as the global benchmark
thanks to its deep talent pool and consistent success at the highest levels of competition. Germany, Canada, Australia, and the Netherlands have also produced elite drivers known for technical precision and adaptability, while other European Countries & Territories continue to close the gap with rising stars and evolving playstyles. At the Esports Nations Cup, these established powerhouses will be tested by emerging challengers, setting the stage for intense competition, pride, and new rivalries on the international track.
