In a blog post revealing the new Super Series, Epic Games laid out what to expect over the coming weeks:

"Assemble your Super Hero team to compete in the Marvel Knockout Super Series — featuring four competitive cups centered around the Marvel Knockout game mode. These four cups will build up to a final, $1,000,000 tournament to conclude the Marvel Knockout Super Series happening on November 21. And as an added bonus, any player who participates in all four of the cups will receive the exclusive Nexus War Glider." 

Dates

The next cup will take on November 18th and will be a Duos tournament.

Teams of 2 will compete in the Marvel Knockout LTM format.

The format is a 8 team format, with each winning team advancing to the next round until a winner is declared.

Losing teams in a round will be sent back to the lobby to queue up again.

There is usually a 10 match limit, so players will want to advance as far as they can, and hopefully win, to maximise their points.
