## Results

### Group Stage

In the following tables:

* **SP** = total sets played
* **SW** = total sets won
* **SL** = total sets lost
* **GW** = total games won
* **GL** = total goals lost
* **GD** = game differential (GW - GL)

The group stage saw 56 players divided into 7 groups of 8. Each group was a round-robin of 7 games, where each player played a best-of-3 series against each of the other players in their group. Some players did not end up playing all 7 games due to either them being inactive, or their opponents being inactive. For the sets that were not played, wins were awarded based on which player was more active, and this activity was judged by tournament organizers. All games that ended in a draw did not affect the players' score, and were subsequently replayed. The players who finished in the top 4 within their group qualified for the 32-player single-elimination knockout stage.

If players were level on their win-loss record, they were ranked between each other based on the following criteria:

1. Game differential (Calculated by: Game wins - Game losses)
2. Wins vs Tied Participants
