its a format,

1 round
team A vs B , and so on, everyone play with random opponent,

2nd round
-the 0-1 (losers on 1st round) gonna be matched up with the other losers of 1st round
-the 1-0 (winner on 1st round) gonna play against the other winner

and so on, they will eliminate some team in specific round depending on how many teams attending

can someone explain how swiss works with 30 teams? how could you pair teams after the initial round?

yep, it's not suitable format for 30 teams tbh, but it's the most fair format imo, maybe there are 2 invited/2 team from some sort of qualifier?

My current theory involves them copying the Berlin 2021 format, but doubling it (BRN was not able to attend so they had 15 teams). This would include 6 groups of 4 and 2 groups of 3, with the groups of 4 being normal and the groups of 2 being round-robin. The top two teams from each group would advance to a single-elimination bracket. If they do 3 matches per day for the group stage, ro16, and quarterfinals that would be 18 days. Then, they can have the two semifinal matches on day 19 and the bo5 final on day 20. This fits (barely) in the current timeline for the event, but they could always extend it and probably will.
