New Game Mode Knockout - Brawl Stars.png
Knockout is a new elimination-style game mode in a 3-vs-3 battle. All Brawlers will stay out for the rest of the round if defeated. The first team to win two rounds wins the match.

The team that eliminates the most brawlers will get the win in that round. In case of a draw, the winner will be the team who dealt the most damage at the end.
