Who is the Master of Universalis? This is the question we’ll try to answer, starting Thursday March 14th, with 8 players clashing in carefully crafted challenge matches over the course of 7 days.
Format
The tournament format is an eight player bracket over three rounds. Each day, two players go head to head in a best of three game, each session drawn from a list of challenges based in Europa Universalis IV. The game sessions are designed to be completed in about 30 minutes.
The first player in each game to win two sessions will move on to the next round.

How to Watch
This spectacle will be broadcast live through Paradox’s channels on Twitch, Youtube, Steam and Mixer. And each player will have the choice to simultaneously broadcast their side of the battle through their own channels, so you won’t lack choices in how you want to view Masters of Universalis.
Each match will be played at 8pm to 10pm CET every day, starting on Thursday March 14th, and with the grand final taking place on Wednesday the 20th of March.
